सा स्त्रीसहस्रम् अग्र्यं अनुरक्तं गृह्य तं विमानवरं ।
अभिरुह्य अभिनिषीदे मनापपरिपूर्णसंकल्पा ॥ ३८ ॥
sā strīsahasram agryaṃ anuraktaṃ gṛhya taṃ vimānavaraṃ |
abhiruhya abhiniṣīde manāpaparipūrṇasaṃkalpā || 38 ||
And there on that bed of the colour of the snow-white lotus, she whiled away the time in silence, contentedly calm and self-controlled. (38)
