7.3.18

cyavana uvāca -
andho'haṃ nirjano rājaṃstapastaptuṃ kathaṃ kṣamaḥ |
tvadīyāḥ sevakāḥ kiṃ te kariṣyanti mama priyam ||

Chyavana said:-- “O King! There is none of my relations with me; then I am now made blind; how shall I go on with my tapasyâ? I do not think that your servants will take care of me. O King! If you think it your duty to please me, then do my word, give me your lotus-eyed daughter to serve me and take care of me. O King! I will be very glad if I acquire your daughter; she will serve me when I will be engaged in my tapasyâ. O King! This, if observed, will satisfy me and all the troubles that are now with you and your army will no doubt disappear. O King! Think and grant me your daughter; I am an ascetic observing vows and if you give over your daughter to me, you will not incur any sin nor any fault.”

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
