Bhagavan said: Good woman, princess, you were teased by us, who wanted to hear just this. Everything you have said back to what I said is nothing but the truth. Spirited one, whatever desires you desire in me, who am without desire, they are yours, auspicious one, since you are devoted to me alone; they are yours always. Faultless one, your love for your husband and your faithfulness to him have been found out: that though you were shaken with words, your mind was not drawn away from me. Those who turn to me in marriage, with austerity and the keeping of vows, their selves made of desire, bewildered by my maya, though I am the lord of release:

having got me, proud one, who am the wealth of release, they want only wealth, and a husband for the sake of it. Those are of poor fortune: that wealth is there even in hell; since for men, being made of the elements, hell is easy company. It is my luck, lady of the house, that you have followed after me more than once, which frees from becoming, and is very hard for bad men, and harder still for a woman who cherishes bad hopes, who fills her belly and takes to crookedness.
