*śarmiṣṭhovāca
adharmāttrāhi māṃ rājan dharmaṃ ca pratipādaya
tvatto 'patyavatī loke careyaṃ dharmamuttamam //

Śarmiṣṭhâ said:—"King! Save me from immorality by your righteousness. I shall lead the life of highest virtue after getting a child through you. King! a woman, a servant and a son—all these three have been said to be poor; for the wealth acquired by them belongs to their master. I also take my meals with Devayânî and live as a maid, dependant on her; therefore receive me also. I am worthy of your support."—21-23.
