Take away all my ornaments and clothings and give me for my use an excellent deer skin and one bark. O Father! I will dress myself like the wives of Munis and serve my husband in such a way as will bring to you the unparallelled undying fame in Heaven, Earth and the Nether regions; also I will serve my husband's feet so that I can derive the highest happiness in the next world. I am now full of youth, especially beautiful; do not think a bit that as I am wedded to an aged ascetic, that my character will be spoilt. As Vas'istha's wife Arundhati has attained celebrity in this world, so I will also attain success; there is no doubt in this. As the chaste wife Anasûyâ of Maharsi Artri has become widely known in this world so will I be known also and establish your fame.” The exceedingly religious King hearing all these words of Sukanyâ gave her deer skin and all other articles wanted. The King could not help weeping, when he saw that his daughter had dressed herself like the daughter of a Muni. He stood fixed, very sad, on that very spot. All the queens were exceedingly filled with sorrow to see the daughter dressed in bark and deer-skin. Their hearts quivered and they began to weep. O King! Then the King S'aryâti bade good bye to the Muni, leaving there his daughter. He went with a grievous heart and returned to his own city, accompanied by the ministers. > Here ends the Third Chapter of the Seventh Book on the bestowing of the daughter of the King S'aryâti to the Chyavana Muni in S'rî Mad Devî Bhâgavatam, the Mahâ Purânam of 18,000 verses, by Maharsi Veda Vyâsa. > — Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam - [Previous: 7.3.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.upa.sakta.devibhagavata.7.3.54) - [Next: 7.3.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.upa.sakta.devibhagavata.7.3.56) - [Up: 7.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.upa.sakta.devibhagavata.7.3) ## Translations (1) - [The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.upa.sakta.devibhagavata~en-vijnanananda.7.3.55) — Swami Vijnanananda 1921, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.upa.sakta.devibhagavata.7.3.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.upa.sakta.devibhagavata.7.3.55) · Pramāṇa
