Saubhari, the greatly powerful mystic.
Saubhari Muni thought: I am now feeble because of old age. My hair has become grey, my skin is slack, and my head always trembles. Besides, I am a yogī. Therefore women do not like me. Since the King has thus rejected me, I shall reform my body in such a way as to be desirable even to celestial women, what to speak of the daughters of worldly kings.

Translation
Saubhari thought: I am now feeble because of old age. My hair has become grey, my skin is wrinkled, and my head always trembles. Therefore women do not like me. Thus I have been rejected. I shall reform my body in such a way as to be desirable even to celestial women, what to speak of the daughters of worldly kings. In this way the powerful Saubhari decided. My head trembles (ejatkaḥ). I have been refused (pratyudāhṛtaḥ) by the King. Then he decided (vyavasitaḥ) to change his body.
