Translation
Śaibyā said, “I am sterile and have no co-wife. How can this girl be my daughter-in-law? Please tell me.” Jyāmagha replied, “My dear Queen, I shall see that you indeed have a son and that this girl will be your daughter-in-law.”
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Śaibyā said, "I am sterile and have no co-wife. How can this girl be my daughter-in-law?" Jyāmagha replied, "My dear Queen, this girl will be the wife of the son you will bear."
“I do not have a co-wife who could bear a son.” In great fear, Jyāmagha said, “You will have a son.”
