amoghaṁ deva-sandarśam ādadhe tvayi cātmajam yonir yathā na duṣyeta kartāhaṁ te sumadhyame
太阳神说道：“腰肢婀娜的普丽塔啊，与天神相会绝不会徒然无果。因此我将把我的种子置于你腹中，使你得一子。你仍是未嫁的处女；我会安排使你的贞洁完好无损。”
According to Vedic civilization, if a girl gives birth to a child before she is married, no one will marry her. Therefore although the sun-god, after appearing before Pṛthā, wanted to give her a child, Pṛthā hesitated because she was still unmarried. To keep her virginity undisturbed, the sun-god arranged to give her a child that came from her ear, and therefore the child was known as Karṇa. The custom is that a girl should be married akṣata-yoni, that is, with her virginity undisturbed. A girl should never bear a child before her marriage.
