Shloka 1.38.4
सगरस्य पुत्रलाभः — Sagara’s Boons, Progeny, and the Rise of the Sixty Thousand
अरिष्टनेमेर्दुहिता रूपेणाप्रतिमा भुवि।द्वितीया सगरस्यासीत्पत्नी सुमतिसंज्ञिता ।।।।
ariṣṭanemer duhitā rūpeṇāpratimā bhuvi | dvitīyā sagarasyāsīt patnī sumatisaṃjñitā ||
Arīṣṭanemi’s daughter, named Sumati, was Sagara’s second queen—unsurpassed in beauty upon the earth.
The daughter of Arishtanemi named Sumati was the second wife of Sagara and none surpassed her in charm on earth.
Though the verse foregrounds description and lineage, it supports the epic’s dharmic framing of royal households: persons are situated within lawful marriage, dynasty, and social order.
Viśvāmitra identifies Sagara’s second wife, Sumati, and notes her exceptional beauty.
Not a moral virtue directly, but a narrative emphasis on royal distinction and auspicious attributes associated with queens.
