अवश्यमेव दातव्या परस्मै सेति सन्ध्यया । चिन्तयित्वा सुता दत्ता विद्युत्केशाय राघव ॥ 7-4-21 ॥
Reflecting that 'she must indeed be given to another,' Sandhya gave her daughter to Vidyutkesha, O Raghava.

सन्ध्यायास्तनयां लब्ध्वा विद्युत्केशो निशाचरः । रमते स्म तया सार्धं पौलोम्या मघवानिव ॥ 7-4-22 ॥
Having obtained the daughter of Sandhya, Vidyutkesha the night-roamer sported with her as Maghavan (Indra) does with Paulomi (Shachi).

केनचित्त्वथ कालेन राम सालकटङ्कटा । विद्युत्केशाद्गर्भमाप घनराजिरिवार्णवात् ॥ 7-4-23 ॥
Then after some time, O Rama, Salakatankata conceived a child by Vidyutkesha, as a line of clouds gathers moisture from the ocean.

ततः सा राक्षसी गर्भं घनगर्भसमप्रभम् । प्रसूता मन्दरं गत्वा गङ्गा गर्भमिवाग्निजम् ॥ 7-4-24 ॥
Then that rakshasi, having gone to Mount Mandara, brought forth the embryo, radiant as the heart of a thundercloud, as the Ganga brought forth the embryo born of Agni (Skanda).

समुत्सृज्य तु सा गर्भं विद्युत्केशरतार्थिनी । रेमे तु सार्धं पतिना विस्मृत्य सुतमात्मजम् ॥ 7-4-25 ॥
Having cast off the offspring, she, longing for dalliance with Vidyutkesha, sported together with her husband, forgetting the son born of herself.
