asyāstu ramye surate śubhāyā dāsyāmi cāṃte nijavittajātam | sudurlabhaṃ deyamadeyamanyairdāsyāmi cāsyā yadi vāpyadeyam || 35 ||
Am Ende dieser glückverheißenden und wonnigen Vereinigung mit ihr werde ich ihr geben, was aus meinem eigenen Reichtum hervorgeht. Selbst das äußerst Seltene—sei es etwas, das andere geben würden, oder etwas, das andere nicht geben—werde ich ihr schenken, auch wenn es gewöhnlich nicht zu geben ist.

It highlights how desire can inflate vows into extremes—promising even what is “not to be given.” In Purāṇic ethics, such speech warns against attachment-driven generosity that ignores dharma and propriety.
Indirectly, it contrasts worldly fixation (seeking to please through extravagant promises) with the steadiness expected in bhakti, where actions are governed by dharma and offered with discernment rather than passion.
Vyākaraṇa/semantic nuance is relevant: the opposition of “deya” (permissible gift) and “adeya” (impermissible) reflects dharma-based categories used in smṛti and ritual discourse to define what may or may not be given.
