कुतस्त्वमसि सुश्रोणि कस्य वा ऽसि सुता शुभे । पीडितो ऽहमनङ्गेन गच्छामि त्वां शुभानने ॥ 7-80-6 ॥

"From where do you come, O fair-hipped one, and whose daughter are you, O auspicious lady? I am tormented by the god of love; I come to you, O lady of lovely face."

तस्य त्वेवं ब्रुवाणस्य मोहोन्मत्तस्य कामिनः । भार्गवी प्रत्युवाचेदं वचः सानुनयं नृपम् ॥ 7-80-7 ॥

To him as he spoke thus — a lover crazed and deluded by passion — the daughter of Bhargava replied to the king with these conciliatory words.

भार्गवस्य सुतां विद्धि देवस्याक्लिष्टकर्मणः । अरजां नाम राजेन्द्र ज्येष्ठामाश्रमवासिनीम् ॥ 7-80-8 ॥

"Know me to be the daughter of the divine Bhargava, whose deeds are untiring; my name is Araja, O lord of kings, the eldest, dwelling in the hermitage.

english translation

मा मां स्पृश बलाद्राजन्कन्या पितृवशा ह्यहम् । गुरुः पिता मे राजेन्द्र त्वं च शिष्यो महात्मनः । व्यसनं सुमहत्क्रुद्धः स ते दद्यान्महातपाः ॥ 7-80-9 ॥

"Do not touch me by force, O king, for I am a maiden subject to my father's will. My father is my guru, O lord of kings, and you are the disciple of that great soul; that great ascetic, when enraged, could inflict a very grievous calamity upon you.

यदि वान्यन्मया कार्यं धर्मदृष्टेन सत्पथा । वरयस्व नरश्रेष्ठ पितरं मे महाद्युतिम् ॥ 7-80-10 ॥

"But if there be aught else to be done by me along the righteous path seen by dharma, then ask my father of great splendor for my hand, O best of men.
