That maiden, though speaking sweet words in many ways, could not appease the thousand-rayed sun.

न शशाक यदा बाला प्रत्याख्यातुं तमोनुदम् ।
भीता शापात्ततो राजन्दध्यौ दीर्घमथान्तरम् ॥ ३.३०८.२ ॥

मन्निमित्तः कथं न स्यात्क्रुद्धादस्माद्विभावसोः ॥ ३.३०८.३ ॥
Why would not the curse of my blameless father and likewise of the brahmin come about, caused by me, from this angry Vibhāvasu?

पिता मे ध्रियते देव माता चान्ये च बान्धवाः ।
न तेषु ध्रियमाणएषु विदिलोपो भवेदयम् ॥ ३.३०८.८ ॥
My father is alive, O god, and my mother and other kinsmen too. While they are living, this would be a breach of custom.
3.308.9
त्वया तु संगमो देव यदि स्याद्विधिवर्जितः ।
मन्निमित्तं कुलस्यास्य लोकेऽकीर्तिर्न संशयः ॥ ३.३०८.९ ॥
But if this union with you, O god, were without rite, then because of me this family would earn infamy in the world — there is no doubt.

अथवा धर्ममेतं त्वं मन्यसे तपतांवर ।
ऋते प्रदानाद्बन्धुभ्यस्तव कामं करोम्यहम् ॥ ३.३०८.१० ॥

त्वयि धर्मो यशश्चैव कीर्तिरायुश्च देहिनाम् ॥ ३.३०८.११ ॥

तथेत्युक्त्वा तु तां कुन्तीमाविवेश विहंगमः ।
स्वर्भानुशत्रुर्योगात्मा नाभ्यां पस्पर्श चैव ताम् ॥ ३.३०८.२३ ॥
Saying 'So be it,' the bird (the sun) entered into her. The enemy of Svarbhānu, the self of yoga, touched her through the navel.

पपात चाथ सा देवी शयने मूढचेतना ॥ ३.३०८.२४ ॥
