वहस्व भार्या धर्मेण देवयानीं सुमध्यमाम् | अनया सह सम्प्रीतिमतुलां समवाप्लुहि,तुम सुन्दरी देवयानीको धर्मपूर्वक अपनी पत्नी बनाओ और इसके साथ रहकर अतुल सुख एवं प्रसन्नता प्राप्त करो
vahasva bhāryāṃ dharmeṇa devayānīṃ sumadhyamām | anayā saha samprītim atulāṃ samavāpluhi ||
Шукра сказал: «Прими Деваяни — тонкосталую и достойную — в жёны по дхарме. Живи с нею, и через этот союз обрети несравненную радость и взаимное удовлетворение».

Educational Q&A
Marriage and household life should be entered and sustained in accordance with dharma; when a union is formed rightly, it is expected to yield harmony (samprīti) and well-being rather than mere desire or coercion.
Śukra gives an explicit directive and blessing: Devayānī is to be accepted as a lawful wife, and the addressee is urged to live with her so that both may enjoy unsurpassed happiness and mutual satisfaction.
