अप्पेहि यस्य से भार्या अपुत्रे पुत्रं भाषसि ।
मानुषा न तुवं रक्षी न मां शक्ष्यसि खादितुं ॥ ३३ ॥

appehi yasya se bhāryā aputre putraṃ bhāṣasi |
mānuṣā na tuvaṃ rakṣī na māṃ śakṣyasi khādituṃ || 33 ||

“Deliver him to him whose wife you are, instead of saying he is the son of a childless man. You are not a human being. You are an ogress, though you cannot devour me.” (33)
