क्षीयतां दुष्कृतं कर्म वनवासकृतं तव । भार्या मे भव सुश्रोणि यथा मन्दोदरी तथा,'सुश्रोणि! वनवासका कष्ट प्रदान करनेवाले तुम्हारे पूर्वकृत दुष्कर्मकी समाप्ति हो जानी चाहिये; इसके लिये तुम मन्दोदरीकी भाँति मेरी भार्या हो जाओ'
Transliteration
kṣīyatāṃ duṣkṛtaṃ karma vanavāsakṛtaṃ tava | bhāryā me bhava suśroṇi yathā mandodarī tathā ||
Translation
Mārkaṇḍeya said: “Let the evil deed of yours—whose consequence has been this painful life of exile in the forest—be exhausted and brought to an end. Therefore, O fair-hipped lady, become my wife, even as Mandodarī became (the wife of her lord).”
