अगस्त्यस्य वित्तयाचनं तथा इल्वलोपभिक्षणनिर्णयः
Agastya’s request for wealth and the decision to seek resources from Ilvala
सा तत्र जज्ञे सुभगा विद्युत् सौदामनी यथा । विभ्राजमाना वपुषा व्यवर्धत शुभानना,उस सुन्दरी कन्याका उस राजभवनमें बिजलीके समान प्रादुर्भाव हुआ। वह शरीरसे प्रकाशमान हो रही थी। उसका मुख बहुत सुन्दर था, वह राजकन्या वहाँ दिनोदिन बढ़ने लगी
sā tatra jajñe subhagā vidyut saudāmanī yathā | vibhrājamānā vapuṣā vyavardhata śubhānanā ||
Tại đó, trong hoàng cung, một thiếu nữ phúc lành ra đời, hiện lên như tia chớp. Thân nàng tự tỏa rạng, dung nhan cát tường tuyệt mỹ; và nàng công chúa ấy lớn lên từng ngày nơi chốn ấy.

The verse highlights auspicious birth and radiance as signs of good fortune, implying an ethical responsibility: those endowed with beauty and promise—especially within a royal household—should be safeguarded, properly raised, and guided by dharmic care rather than treated as mere objects of pride or desire.
A girl is described as being born in a royal residence, compared to a lightning-flash for her sudden, striking brilliance. She is portrayed as physically radiant and beautiful-faced, and she grows up there day by day, indicating her flourishing upbringing in the palace.
