6. Kardama said:—O Manavi, I am now pleased with thee who contributest to my dignity, for thy most devoted attention and thy perfect devotion to me; this body (of thine) which is most beloved of all embodied beings, though fit to be cared for, was not taken into account in wasting it for my sake (to all embodied beings the body is most dear; and yet you have not hesitated to waste your person for my sake though it is fit to be cared for).
