Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Anushasana Parva Chapter 2 · Verse 32
Sanskrit Original
दृष्टं हि सहदेवेन दिशं विजयता तदा। ततस्तां समलंकृत्य कन्यामाहृतवाससम्॥ ददौ दुर्योधनो राजा पावकाय महात्मने। प्रतिजग्राह चाग्निस्तु राजकन्यां सुदर्शनाम्॥ विधिना वेददृष्टेन वसोर्धारामिवाध्वरे। तस्या रूपेण शीलेन कुलेन वपुषा श्रिया॥ अभवत् प्रीतिमानग्निर्गर्भे चास्या मनो दधे। तस्याः समभवत्पुत्रो नाम्नाऽऽग्नेयः सुदर्शनः॥
Then the king gave his daughter, dressed in new raiments and decked with jewels, to the great god, and Agni too accepted, according to Vedic rites, the princess Sudarshana as his bride, as he accepts libations of clarified butter at sacrifices. Agni was well pleased with her look, her beauty, grace, character, and nobility of birth, and thought of begetting offspring upon her. And she soon gave birth to a son by Agni, of the name of Sudarshana.
