महाभारतः mahābhārataḥ - book-1, chapter-6, verse-9

स पुलोमां ततो भार्यां पप्रच्छ कुपितो भृगुः ।
केनासि रक्षसे तस्मै कथितेह जिहीर्षवे ।
न हि त्वां वेद तद्रक्षो मद्भार्यां चारुहासिनीम् ॥९॥

9. sa pulomāṁ tato bhāryāṁ papraccha kupito bhṛguḥ ,
kenāsi rakṣase tasmai kathiteha jihīrṣave ,
na hi tvāṁ veda tadrakṣo madbhāryāṁ cāruhāsinīm.

9. saḥ pulomām tataḥ bhāryām papraccha
kupitaḥ bhṛguḥ kena asi rakṣase tasmai
kathitā iha jihīrṣave na hi tvām veda
tat rakṣaḥ mat-bhāryām cāru-hāsinīm

9. Then, enraged, Bhṛgu questioned his wife Pulomā: 'By whom were you revealed here to that Rākṣasa who wished to abduct you? Surely, that Rākṣasa did not know you, my beautiful smiling wife!'

9. בְּהְרְגוּ הזועם שאל אז את אשתו פּוּלוֹמָה, מי גילה אותך לאותו רָאקְשַׁסַה שרצה לחטוף אותך. הרי אותו רָאקְשַׁסַה לא הכיר אותך כאשתי יפת החיוך.
