"By this choice, and by you too, O renowned one -- speaking thus then, I was in fact rejected in deed. Whether you consider me foolish, or devoted, or submissive, unite me, O most fortunate one, with this husband -- your son. Having taken him, godlike, I would go as I please and would come back again; place your trust in me, O gracious one."

Here Hidimba entrusts herself to Kunti's judgment, without insisting on her own way. Her humility is telling: "consider me foolish, or devoted, or submissive" -- she accepts any verdict, so long as she may be united with him; one who loves does not exalt herself, but yields herself to the will of elders. This is a heart seeking not its own way but a blessing: even in passion she is submissive to the law of the family. Telling too is her promise to bring Bhima back -- she forestalls any suspicion of intent to take him away for good. Thus the scripture shows that pure attraction does not seize but entrusts itself: it asks rather than abducts, and is therefore worthy of trust.
