Verse 37.65
तस्येतवाये कुषिचाय कौशिकः जयेत्तमानये जटायन्तं धनेन ।
नेहि पात्रेहि सुधां स्वयं ददे सा अध्यभाषि त्वरिता महामुनिं ॥ ६५ ॥
tasyetavāye kuṣicāya kauśikaḥ jayettamānaye jaṭāyantaṃ dhanena |
nehi pātrehi sudhāṃ svayaṃ dade sā adhyabhāṣi tvaritā mahāmuniṃ || 65 ||
And as she sat on the couch of kusha grass, Koshika, in matted hair and antelope’s skin, with his own hands brought her what she wished, the ambrosia on freshly gathered leaves, and gladly the great seer presented her with the ambrosia. (65)
