Devanagari script
तस्यां पुर्या तदा चैव माहिष्मत्यां कुरूद्वह । बभूवुरनतिग्राह्मा योषितश्छन्दत: किल,कुरुश्रेष्ठ जनममेजय! उस समय माहिष्मतीपुरीमें युवती स्त्रियाँ इच्छानुसार ग्रहण करनेके योग्य नहीं रह गयी थीं (क्योंकि वे स्वतन्त्रतासे ही वरका वरण किया करती थीं)
Transliteration
tasyāṃ puryāṃ tadā caiva māhiṣmatyāṃ kurūdvaha | babhūvur anatigrahmyā yoṣitaś chandataḥ kila ||
Translation
কুরুশ্রেষ্ঠ! তখন মাহিষ্মতী নগরীতে যুবতী নারীরা যেন সহজে ‘গ্রহণযোগ্য’ ছিল না; কারণ তারা নিজেদের ইচ্ছামতোই স্বয়ং বর বেছে নিত।
