Sanskrit Text

दिव्यरूपमरुन्धत्याः कर्तुं शकितं तया तस्यास्तपःप्रभावेण भर्तृशुश्रूषणेन

English Translation

Then assuming successively the forms of the wives of the illustrious seven Rishis, she held intercourse with Agni, But she could not assume the disguise of Arundhuti. On account of her great ascetic merit and her great devoition towards her husband. O foremost of Kurus, the damsel Svaha in the first lunar day threw six times into that (golden) well the seed of Agni.
