mayā cāsmai pratijñātā bharyeti madirekṣaṇā /
na cecchasi vivāhaṃ tvaṃ saṅkaṭaṃ naḥ samāgatam //
The ṛṣi spoke:
The famous ascetic named Ṛtavāc was enraged against Revatī; in his anger he caused the constellation to fall down. And I have promised thee as wife to this king, O maiden with intoxicating eyes; and if thou desirest not the marriage, we have fallen into a strait!
75.58.p1
kanyovāca
The maiden spoke:
Dear father! Why did that muni Ṛtavāc perform austerities in that fashion? Have I nought to do with thee as father? Am I the daughter of an unworthy brāhman?
