29.20

tyajati brāhmaṇaḥ śiṣyān devayānyā pracoditaḥ
yaṃ sā kāmayate kāmaṃ sa kāryo 'tra tvayānaghe
dāsītvam abhijātāsi devayānyāḥ suśobhane //

Vṛiṣaparvan said:—“O Nurse, get up, go and bring Śarmiṣṭhâ once in my presence. I shall do exactly as Devayânî desires.”—18. Śaunaka said :—On being thus commanded by the king, the nurse at once went to Śarmiṣṭhâ and told her O Śarmiṣṭha ! get up and save your kinsmen from impending calamity; because incited by his daughter, Śukra is forsaking his disciples and the fulfilment of Devayânî's desires rests on you. You have become the maid of Devayânî."—19-20.
