Sudeva Identifies Damayantī in Cedi (सुदेवेन दमयन्ती-परिचयः)
स तत्र पूज्यमाना वै दमयन्ती व्यनन्दत । सर्वकामै: सुविहितैर्निरुद्वेशावसत् तदा,सुनन्दा दमयन्तीके इच्छानुसार सब प्रकारकी व्यवस्था करके उसे बड़े आदर-सत्कारके साथ रखने लगी। इससे दमयन्तीको बड़ी प्रसन्नता हुई और वह वहाँ उद्वेगरहित हो रहने लगी
sā tatra pūjyamānā vai damayantī vyanandata | sarvakāmaiḥ suvihitair nirudvegāvasat tadā ||
There, being duly honored, Damayantī felt great joy. With every comfort thoughtfully arranged for her, she then lived in that place free from anxiety and disturbance—receiving respectful care and finding calm in her circumstances.
