27.19

*devayānyuvāca
yo 'sau devairhatān daityān utthāpayati vidyayā
tasya śukrasya kanyāhaṃ tvaṃ māṃ nūnaṃ na budhyase //

Devayânî replied: "I am the daughter of that Śukra who, through his science, restores the Daityas to life, when they are killed by the Gods. You do not know me full well. King! Catch hold of my right hand with its fingers decked with copper-coloured nails and pull me out of this well; I know you are of noble birth. I know you to be self-controlled, strong, and illustrious; therefore I know you are capable of delivering me from this well."—19-21.
