पुत्रि धन्योऽस्म्यहं लोके यस्य रुद्रः स्वयं हरः । जामाता भविता देवि त्वयापत्यवतामहम् । स्थापितो मूर्ध्नि देवानामपि पुत्रि त्वया ह्यहम् ॥ २२.३५ ॥

पुत्री, मैं दुनिया में बहुत खुशकिस्मत हूँ। रुद्र, जो खुद हर है, वो मेरा दामाद बनेगा। देवी, तुमसे मुझे बेटा मिल जाएगा। तुमने मुझे देवों में भी ऊपर कर दिया।
