Devayânî said:—“O, grandson of Aṅgiras! You shine on account of your wealth, family status, learning, pious conduct, asceticism, and sobriety. As the sage Aṅgirâ, of great renown, is respected by my father, so is Bṛihaspati respected and revered by me. Knowing this, O seer! consider what I say unto you. You know how I behaved towards you, while you were observing the vow with its restrictions. Your learning is now accomplished. You should not forsake me, who am devoted to you; therefore accept my hand in marriage according to due rites and Mantras.”—2-5.
