Shloka 35
ययातेर्वानप्रस्थतपःस्वर्गारोहणम् | Yayāti’s Vānaprastha Austerities and Ascent to Heaven
इयं चापि कुमारी ते शर्मिष्ठा वार्षपर्वणी । सम्पूज्या सततं राजन् मा चैनां शयने ह्वये:,महाराज! वृषपर्वाकी पुत्री यह कुमारी शर्मिष्ठा भी तुम्हें समर्पित है। इसका सदा आदर करना, किंतु इसे अपनी सेजपर कभी न बुलाना
iyaṃ cāpi kumārī te śarmiṣṭhā vārṣaparvaṇī | sampūjyā satataṃ rājan mā caināṃ śayane hvayeḥ ||
舒克罗说道：“这位少女舍尔米什塔，弗利沙帕尔梵之女，也托付于你。王啊，当常加敬护；但切莫在任何时候召她登你的床榻。”

Educational Q&A
Authority over someone placed in one’s care must be governed by dharma: offer continual respect and protection, and maintain strict sexual boundaries. The verse explicitly separates service/guardianship from entitlement.
Śukra addresses a king and formally entrusts Śarmiṣṭhā, identifying her as Vṛṣaparvan’s daughter. He commands that she be honored at all times, while issuing a clear prohibition against calling her to the king’s bed—setting a condition for her presence at court.
