Bhogavati/भोगवती

Woman's virtue:
a Princess married a prince; he
Woman's virtue
prized. The Princess did not know who
She had wed, for unwittingly
She was bound to a snake. Thus see
Woman's virtue.

Woman's virtue
was that She'd learn the truth and be
Woman's virtue
embodied: She would remain true
and not turn away - loyalty
in a Wife the epitome
Woman's virtue.

Woman's virtue
would undo his curse; one with the
Woman's virtue
must bathe him, sacred waters to
wash away his scales, show beauty
now always. Its own reward be
Woman's virtue.
