brāhmaṇyuvāca
sutāhamatirātrasya dvijasya vanavāsinaḥ /
patnī viśālaputrasya yasya nāma tvayoditam //

The brahman woman spoke:
I am daughter of the brahman Atirātra, who dwells in the forest, and wife of Viśāla’s son whose name thou hast uttered. Being such, I was carried off by the evil-minded Rākṣasa Yalāka, while asleep at the extremity of my house, and parted from my brothers and mother. May that Rākṣasa become ashes, by whom I have been parted thus from my mother, brothers and other relatives! Here I remain in great affliction. Bringing me to this very dense forest he has cast me off. I know not what is the reason he neither has intercourse with me nor devours me.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
