Matsyapurāṇa 26.10

- **Language:** Sanskrit

### [26.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.26.10)

asurairhanyamāne tu kace tvayi punaḥ punaḥ  
tadāprabhṛti yā prītis tāṃ tvameva smarasva me //

> Devayânî said:—“You are the son of Bṛihaspati and not of my father; and consequently you are worthy of being respected and honored by me. You must recall to your mind my unceasing warm love for you ever since you were killed by the Asuras again and again. Is not this a sufficient proof of my unbounded love, attachment and devotion towards you. I, therefore, O You, who know the law, your devotee, do not deserve being discarded by you.”—9-11.
