[...] Women near and dear as also the wives of her brothers embraced her closely with great pleasure.—‘A great task has been well accomplished by you. It has saved the whole family . All of us are sanctified by your noble conduct’.—Praising (supraśaṃsya) her with these and similar words they bowed to her with great delight. They worshipped her with sandal paste and sweet scented flowers in great joy. [...]”.
