The great sage gave her the name Arundhatī. Surrounded by his disciples he celebrated the event joyously.

The word Arundhatī means “one who does not hinder sacred rites in any manner whatsoever”. She acquired this name which later on became well-known in the three worlds.

यज्ञं समाप्य स मुनिः कृतकृत्यभावमासाद्य संपदयुतस्तनया प्रलंभात् ॥ तस्मिन्निजाश्रमपदे सह शिष्यवर्गैस्तामेव सततमसौ दयिते सुरर्षे ॥१८॥

O celestial sage, that sage concluded the sacrifice with great contentment and was delighted at the acquisition of a daughter. He spent his days in the same hermitage along with his disciples, tending the daughter, mercifully.
