7.3.12

vyāsa uvāca -
iti śrutvā vacastasya cyavano vākyamabravīt |
vinayopanataṃ dṛṣṭvā rājānaṃ duḥkhitaṃ bhṛśam ||

Vyâsa said:-- The Maharsi Chyavana, hearing thus the King's words and specially seeing his humble and distressed nature, said:-- O King! I never was angry a bit; your daughter had pained me; yet I am not angry and have not cast on her any curse; you better see, that I am innocent; much pain is felt by me due to my eyes being pricked. O King! It seems that you are sorry and troubled for that sin. Who can acquire happiness in this world who has committed a great offence to a Bhakta of the Devî, in spite he gets even S'iva as his Protector. O King! On the one hand, I am now worn out by old age, and then, on the other hand, I am deprived of my eyes; what shall be now my means? Please say, who will take care of the blind man?

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
