Despairing right there, she sat down. Then the two Aśvins, ladle-offerers, practicing medicine and excluded from Soma, were roaming through this \[world\]. Coming up to her, they said: 'O maiden, this man is incomplete, not fit to be a husband. Become the wife of us two.' 'No,' she said, 'I shall be the wife of the one to whom my father gave me.'
