Sanskrit Original
पुरा स्त्री मां समभ्यागाच्छान्तनो भूतये तव। त्वामाव्रजेद् यदि रहः सा पुत्र वरवर्णिनी॥ कामयानाभिरूपाढ्या दिव्या स्त्री पुत्रकाम्यया। सा त्वया नानुयोक्तव्या कासि कस्यासि चाङ्गने॥ यच कुर्यान्न तत् कर्म सा प्रष्टव्या त्वयानघ। मन्नियोगाद् भजन्तीं तां भजेथा इत्युवाच तम्॥

"O Shantanu, some time before, a celestial damsel came to me for good. If you meet that beautiful celestial damsel in secret and if she solicits you to beget offspring on her, accept her as your wife. O sinless one, judge not the propriety of impropriety of anything she does. Ask not who she is, whom she belongs to and whence she comes. But accept her as your wife at my command."
