śukra uvāca |
samudraṃ praviśadhvaṃ vā diśo vā dravatāsurāḥ |
duhiturnāpriyaṃ soḍhuṃ śakto'haṃ dayitā hi me || 8 ||
"Sukra then replied, 'Ye Asuras, whether ye go into the depths of the ocean or fly away to all directions. I care little. I am unable to bear my daughter's grief. My daughter is ever dear to me. My life dependeth on her. Seek ye to please her. As Vrihaspati ever seeketh the good of Indra, so do I always seek thine by my ascetic merits.'
