mayā pṛṣṭo hutavahaḥ ko 'syā bharteti pārthiva /
bhavitā tena cāpyukto bhavānevādya vai varaḥ //

The ṛṣi spoke:
Thou speakest truly, O king; no improper feeling hadst thou. Thou didst utter this word, being impelled by Agni, O king. I asked Agni, “Who shall be her husband?” O king; and he replied that thou thyself, Sir, shouldst verily be her bridegroom this day. Take her then; I give thee the maiden, O king, and thou didst hail her as “Dear!” How dost thou decide?

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
