पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

PUṢKARAMĀLINĪ : A very virtuous woman. She was the wife of a sage named Satya who lived on alms in the country of Vidarbha. Because she was very strict and perfect in the observance of vratas she became lean but pure. She was very obedient to her husband and she made her own dress out of peacock feathers gather- ed from forests. Puṣkaramālinī was against sacrificing cows in yajñas. (Chapter 246, Śānti Parva).
