There is nothing Thou canst not accomplish;
Thou canst turn a mustard seed into a mountain or a miserable wretch into a king. Thou canst
make auspicious the inauspicious; there is nothing
hard for thee. With sixteen thousand wives thou
wast unwedded; Purvasa never broke his fast;
there is no marvel in all this. Braupadi had five
husbands, yet she was a virgin; Bharmaraja who
slew his father was a holy man; Dasaratha was no
better than a slayer of Bramhanas,—strange thou
wast born of him! The Lord of sages was no whit
guilty though he set quarrels afoot and had murders
committed. Tuka says, What are my faults compared to these? I am the first to fall at Thy feet.
