Srimad Bhagavatam — Chaturtha Skandha, Shloka 5
The Appearance and Coronation of King Pṛthu (Pṛthu-avatāra) and His Humble Refusal of Premature Praise
इयं च सुदती देवी गुणभूषणभूषणा । अर्चिर्नाम वरारोहा पृथुमेवावरुन्धती ॥ ५ ॥
iyaṁ ca sudatī devī guṇa-bhūṣaṇa-bhūṣaṇā arcir nāma varārohā pṛthum evāvarundhatī
یہ دیوی نہایت خوبصورت دانتوں والی اور اعلیٰ اوصاف سے آراستہ ہے، یہاں تک کہ اس کے زیور بھی اس سے زیادہ حسین لگتے ہیں۔ اس کا نام اَرچی ہوگا؛ یہ بلند قامت خاتون آئندہ پرتھو کو ہی شوہر کے طور پر قبول کرے گی۔
