न देवी न च गंधर्वी नासुरी न च नागजा । तादृग्रूपाऽभवच्चान्या यादृशी सा सुमध्यमा
na devī na ca gaṃdharvī nāsurī na ca nāgajā | tādṛgrūpā'bhavaccānyā yādṛśī sā sumadhyamā

Sūta
Listener: Ṛṣayaḥ / dvijāḥ
Scene: A comparative panorama: celestial, gandharva, asura, and nāga maidens implied in the background, yet Satī stands unmatched—slender-waisted, radiant, central.
