Bhagavata Purana 10.60.39
Srimad Bhagavatam · 60 · Verse 39
Sanskrit Original
त्वं न्यस्तदण्डमुनिभिर्गदितानुभाव आत्मात्मदश्च जगतामिति मे वृतोऽसि । हित्वा भवद्भ्रुव उदीरितकालवेग ध्वस्ताशिषोऽब्जभवनाकपतीन् कुतोऽन्ये ॥ ३९ ॥
tvaṁ nyasta-daṇḍa-munibhir gaditānubhāva ātmātma-daś ca jagatām iti me vṛto ’si hitvā bhavad-bhruva udīrita-kāla-vega- dhvastāśiṣo ’bja-bhava-nāka-patīn kuto ’nye
Knowing that great sages who have renounced the sannyāsī’s daṇḍa proclaim Your glories, that You are the Supreme Soul of all the worlds, and that You are so gracious that You give away even Your own self, I chose You as my husband, rejecting Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva and the rulers of heaven, whose aspirations are all frustrated by the force of time, which is born from Your eyebrows. What interest, then, could I have in any other suitors?
