Sukanyā’s Encounter with the Aśvins and Cyavana’s Rejuvenation (लोमश–सुकन्या–च्यवनोपाख्यानम्)

तच्छुत्वा हृष्टमनसौ दिवं तौ प्रतिजग्मतुः । च्यवनश्नव सुकन्या च सुराविव विजद्वतु:,यह सुनकर दोनों अश्विनीकुमार प्रसन्नचित्त हो देवलोकको लौट गये और च्यवन तथा सुकन्या देवदम्पतिकी भाँति विहार करने लगे

tac chrutvā hṛṣṭa-manasau divaṃ tau pratijagmatūḥ | cyavanaś ca sukanyā ca surāv iva vijahratuḥ ||

Hearing this, the two Aśvinīkumāras, their minds delighted, returned to heaven. And Cyavana and Sukanyā then lived together in joy, sporting like a divine couple—signifying the restoration of harmony after the fulfillment of rightful boons and the honoring of due obligations.
