na śalyabhūtā kuśaketuputrī tvatsaṃgamādvidvi na saṃśayo 'tra / putraujasā duḥkhavimuktabhāvātsamīritaṃ vākyamidaṃ pratīhi
Kuśaketu's daughter is no thorn (to us) because of your union (with another) — of this there is no doubt. Trust this speech, uttered from a state released from sorrow by our son's strength.
