श्मशानवासिनो नित्यमस्थिमालाधरस्य च ॥ दिगंबरस्य ते भार्या कथं हैमवती शुभम् ॥२६॥

How can the auspicious daughter of Himavat be a wife unto you who habitually stay in the cremation ground wearing garlands of bones and assuming the form of a naked ascetic.

english translation

अहं रत्नाधिनाथोस्मि सा च स्त्रीरत्नसंज्ञिता ॥ तस्मान्ममैव सा योग्या नैव भिक्षाशिनस्तव ॥२७॥

I am the possessor of all excellent things. She is the most excellent of all ladies. She deserves me better than you who live on alms.

english translation

मम वश्यास्त्रयो लोका भुंजेऽहं मखभागकान् ॥ यानि संति त्रिलोकेस्मिन्रत्नानि मम सद्मनि ॥ २८ ॥

The three worlds are under my control. I partake of shares in sacrifices. The excellent things of the three worlds are found in my palace.

english translation

वयं रत्नभुजस्त्वं तु योगी खलु दिगम्बरः ॥ स्वस्त्रीरत्नं देहि मह्यं राज्ञस्सुखकराः प्रजाः ॥२९॥

We are the enjoyers of excellent things. You are a mere naked ascetic and a Yogin. Surrender your wife unto me. Subjects shall always keep their king happy.

english translation

सनत्कुमार उवाच ॥ वदत्येवं तथा राहौ भ्रूमध्याच्छूलपाणिनः ॥ अभवत्पुरुषो रौद्रस्तीव्राशनिसमस्वनः ॥ 2-5-19-३० ॥

Sanatkumāra said: When Rāhu spoke thus, a terrific being resonant like the thunder came out from the space between the eyebrows of the trident-bearing deity.
