तस्यास्य यत्नाच्चरतस्त्रैलोक्यममरद्युते । सुमुखो भवतः पौत्रो रोचते दुहितुः पतिः॥५-१०२-६॥
As he (Mātali) searched with effort through the three worlds, O radiant one, your grandson Sumukha appeared pleasing to him as a husband for his daughter.
english translation
यदि ते रोचते सौम्य भुजगोत्तम माचिरम् । क्रियतामार्यक क्षिप्रं बुद्धिः कन्याप्रतिग्रहे॥५-१०२-७॥
If it pleases you, gentle one—best of serpents—do not delay. O venerable elder, promptly form your decision regarding acceptance of the maiden.

यथा विष्णुकुले लक्ष्मीर्यथा स्वाहा विभावसोः । कुले तव तथैवास्तु गुणकेशी सुमध्यमा॥५-१०२-८॥
As Lakṣmī is in the lineage of Viṣṇu, and as Svāhā is with Vibhāvasu (Agni), so may Guṇakeśī—slender-waisted—be likewise established in your family.
english translation
पौत्रस्यार्थे भवांस्तस्माद्गुणकेशीं प्रतीच्छतु । सदृशीं प्रतिरूपस्य वासवस्य शचीमिव॥५-१०२-९॥
Therefore, for your grandson’s sake, please accept Guṇakeśī—suited to him—like Śacī to the splendid Vāsava (Indra).
english translation
पितृहीनमपि ह्येनं गुणतो वरयामहे । बहुमानाच्च भवतस्तथैवैरावतस्य च । सुमुखस्य गुणैश्चैव शीलशौचदमादिभिः॥५-१०२-१०॥
Although he is without a father, we choose him on the basis of merit. This is also due to respect for you, and likewise for Airāvata; and due to Sumukha’s qualities—good conduct, purity, self-restraint, and the like.
