tasyāsīd vijayo yuddhe tatra kanyām avāpa saḥ
ratham āropya sā nītā patnyarthaṃ strīniveśanam ||
tāṃ dṛṣṭvā ruṣitā śaibyā bhartāram idam abravīt |
kimartham iyam ānītā sapatnī durnayā mama |
bhāryām uvāca saṃtrāsāt snuṣeti sa nareśvaraḥ //

He gained victory in battle, and there he won a maiden; / placing her on his chariot, she was brought to the women's quarters as a wife. / Seeing her, Śaibyā, enraged, spoke this to her husband: / 'Why has this ill-behaved co-wife been brought for me?' / Out of great fear, the lord of men spoke to his wife: 'She is a daughter-in-law.'
