4.10.9
idaṃ tu rūpaṃ mama yena kiṃ nu tatprakīrtayitvā bhṛśaśokavardhanam |
bṛhannaḍāṃ vai naradeva viddhi māṃ sutaṃ sutāṃ vā pitṛmātṛvarjitām || 9 ||
"Arjuna said, 'I sing, dance, and play on instruments. I am proficient in dance and skilled in song. O lord of men, assign me unto (the princess) Uttara. I shall be dancing-master to the royal maiden. As to how I have come by this form, what will it avail thee to hear the account which will only augment my pain? Know me, O king of men, to be Vrihannala, a son or daughter without father or mother.'
