एवं संचिन्तयन्ती सा ददर्शर्तु यदृच्छया । व्रीडिता साभवद् बाला कन्याभावे रजस्वला,इस प्रकार सोच-विचारमें पड़ी हुई कुन्तीने अकस्मात् अपने शरीरमें ऋतुका प्रादुर्भाव हुआ देखा। कन्यावस्थामें ही अपनेको रजस्वला पाकर उस बालिकाने लज्जाका अनुभव किया
evaṁ sañcintayantī sā dadarśa ṛtuṁ yadṛcchayā | vrīḍitā sābhavad bālā kanyābhāve rajasvalā ||
अशी विचारमग्न असताना तिला अकस्मात् आपल्या देहात ऋतूचा उदय जाणवला. कन्यावस्थेतच रजस्वला झाल्याने ती बालिका लज्जेने व्याकुळ झाली.
