yayātiruvāca |
kathaṃ nu te sakhī dāsī kanyeyaṃ varavarṇinī |
asurendrasutā subhru paraṃ kautūhalaṃ hi me || 10 ||

"Yayati then asked, 'I am curious to know why is this thy companion of fair eye-brows, this maiden of the fairest complexion, the daughter of the Asura chief thy waiting-maid!' Devayani replied, 'O best of king, everything resulteth from Fate. Knowing this also to be the result of Fate, wonder not at it. Thy feature and attire are both like a king's. Thy speech also is fair and correct as that of the Vedas. Tell me thy name, whence thou art and whose son also.'
