atha taṃ deśamabhyāgād yayātirnahuṣātmajaḥ
śrāntayugyaḥ śrāntarūpo mṛgalipsuḥ pipāsitaḥ //
After that, Yayâti, the son of Nahuṣa, getting tired and thirsty in course of his shoot, went to drink water at the same well. As soon as that thirsty monarch peeped into the well, he saw a beauty, gleaming like the flame of fire, inside it. On seeing that girl of Divine form and consoling her, that best of kings, said in words full of sweetness:—"O young beauty, adorned with ornaments, how and for what reason, have you fallen into this well covered with grass? Whose daughter are you? Tell me all this."—14-18.
