कस्यासि किमिदं भद्रे कश्च भर्ता वरानने। येन संभुज्यसे भीरु स नरः पुण्यभाग्भुवि॥ पृच्छतः शंस मे सर्वं कस्य हेतोः परिश्रमः।

English Meaning
Whose daughter are you, O gentle lady? And what is this (vow) that you practise? And O fair faced wrench, who is your husband? He who has you for his wife, is, O timorous one, has religious merit on earth. Tell all about this to me who ask for it. For whom do you put yourself to trouble?
