> Hearing those heroic words, Maya delightfully embraced Vidyunmâli and said ‘O Vidyunmâli! without you I do not want kingdom nor life even, what of other petty things? O, hero! this pool of nectar made by me is life giving to all the demons To my great good luck I consider, it a matter of utmost gratification to find you return from the city of Yama All my treasures plundered in my hour of misfortune will now be recouped and we shall enjoy them —21-24
