ऋज्वी गौरी सुशुद्धापि शून्या शरलता यथा ।
तौ ततो दंपती खिन्नौ पुत्रार्थे तपसे गिरेः ॥ ६ ॥

ṛjvī gaurī suśuddhāpi śūnyā śaralatā yathā |
tau tato daṃpatī khinnau putrārthe tapase gireḥ || 6 ||

With all the purity and simplicity of their hearts, and the beauty and gracefulness of their persons and manners; they were as useless to the earth, as the fair and straight stem of the pure paddy plant, without its stalk of corn. The discontented pair then repaired to the mountain, in order to make their devotion for the blessing of progeny.
