कथमिन्दीवरश्यामं पद्मपत्रनिभेक्षणम्।
उपसंश्रित्य भर्तारं कामयेयं पृथग्जनम्॥

Saumitri, that plan of Yours or Bharata’s won’t fructify. Having taken shelter of My husband who is as beautiful as a dark lotus and whose eyes resemble the leaves of the lotus, how can I desire any other person?
“Any other person” means “an insignificant man.”
