Sūta continued: After going near them, the excellent lady spoke these words with palms joined in reverence—“O Devas, I am born in the part pertaining to you. What shall I do for you? I have been told by Manu—‘Follow me’. When the chaste lady Ilā spoke thus, the two Devas, Mitra and Varuṇa said these words—“O lady of excellent hips and very fair complexion, O lady conversant with Dharma, we are very much delighted with, your modesty and control over your sense-organs as well as truthfulness. O daughter of exalted fortune, you will attain our fame and reputation. You will become a man well-renowned and honoured in the three worlds as Sudyumna. You will become a favourite of the whole universe, righteous by nature, and the perpetuator of the line of Manu”.
