Śaunaka said :—O king! Long after that, Devayânî again went to amuse herself in the same forest in the company of Śarmiṣṭhâ and a thousand maids. Whilst she, along with her companions was thus amusing herself there by drinking wine and eating various victuals and fruits, King Yayâti, also chanced to visit the same forest with the object of enjoying a shoot, and, feeling thirsty whilst he was in search of water, he saw Devayânî and Śarmiṣṭhâ along with other women folk drinking. Among them he marked Devayânî, the beautiful, who, wearing lovely ornaments, was sitting, attended by Śarmiṣṭhâ and other maids. Then King Yayâti said: "Two of you are charming beauties horizoned by two thousand women. I request you to please tell me your names and clan."--1-8.
