SB 9.16.4
kalatyayam tam vilokya
muneh sapa-visankita
agatya kalasam tasthau
purodhaya krtañjalih
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
Later, understanding that the time for offering the sacrifice had passed, Renuka feared a curse from her husband. Therefore when she returned she simply put the waterpot before him and stood there with folded hands.
