भर्गस्य वचनं श्रुत्वा सोपहासं च मां प्रति ॥ आत्मनश्चलितत्वं वै ह्यमर्यादमृषीन्प्रति ॥१६॥

he had heard the words of Śiva to me couched in mocking terms. She had realised that her mental aberration in regard to the sages was beyond decency.

english translation

कामस्य तादृशं भावं मुनिमोहकरं मुहुः॥ दृष्ट्वा संध्या स्वयं तत्रोपयमायातिदुःखिता॥ १७ ॥ ।

She had seen the attitude of Kāma culminating in the delusion of the sages, frequently. Hence Sandhyā was excessively distressed with respect to her marriage.

english translation

ततस्तु ब्रह्मणा शप्ते मदने च मया मुने॥ अंतर्भूते मयि शिवे गते चापि निजास्पदे ॥१८॥

O sage, then I cursed Kāma. Śiva left the place and I too disappeared. Thus her support was lost.

english translation

आमर्षवशमापन्ना सा संध्या मुनिसत्तम॥ मम पुत्री विचार्यैवं तदा ध्यानपराऽभवत् ॥ १९ ॥

So, O excellent sage, Sandhyā became furious. Then, my daughter considered all these things and meditated.

english translation

ध्यायंती क्षणमेवाशु पूर्वं वृत्तं मनस्विनी ॥ इदं विममृशे संध्या तस्मिन्काले यथोचितम् ॥ 2-2-5-२० ॥

Meditating on the recent events, she of great fortitude mused what befitted the situation.
