1.9.18

sa labdhvā durlabhāṃ bhāryāṃ padmakiñjalkasaprabhām |
vrataṃ cakre vināśāya jihmagānāṃ dhṛtavrataḥ || 18 ||

"And on an auspicious day their fathers gladly married them with due rites. And the couple passed their days, devoted to each other. And Ruru having obtained such a wife, as is hard to be found, beautiful and bright as the filaments of the lotus, made a vow for the destruction of the serpent-race. And whenever he saw a serpent he became filled with great wrath and always killed it with a weapon.
