रुद्रधर्मेति विख्यातो भार्या तस्य प्रभावती ॥
He was known as Rudradharma. His wife was Prabhavati. One day, O Goddess, a brahmin came, struck by fear.
शरणं श्रावयामास शरणार्थी द्विजोत्तमः ॥
The best of brahmins sought shelter and asked for protection. His wife, O great Goddess, was very beautiful.
राजपुत्रेण तस्यां तु गमनं मुग्धतः कृतम् ॥
The king's son went to her, out of infatuation. Held by love for his son, the king gave him shelter.
