इति सम्यग् विचार्य तत्-सकाशं न जगाम । अथ प्राप्तव्यमर्थः पर्यटन् धवल-गृह-पार्श्वे रात्राव् अवलम्बित-वरत्रां दृष्ट्वा कौतुकाविष्ट-हृदयस् ताम् आलम्ब्याधिरूढः । तया च राज-पुत्र्या स एवायम् इत्य् आश्वस्त-चित्तया स्नान-खादन-पानाच्छादनादिना सम्मान्य तेन सह शयन-तलम् आश्रितया तद्-अङ्ग-संस्पर्श-सञ्जात-हर्ष-रोमाञ्चित-गात्रयोक्तं-युष्मद्-दर्शन-मात्रानुरक्तया मयात्मा प्रदत्तो ऽयम् । त्वद्-वर्जम् अन्यो भर्ता मनस्य् अपि मे न भविष्यति इति । तत् कस्मान् अम्या सह न ब्रवीषि ?

Having considered this properly, he did not go to her. Then, while wandering in search of what was to be obtained, Prāptavyamartha saw a rope hanging beside a white house at night. Seeing it, his heart filled with curiosity; he grasped it and climbed up. The king’s daughter, thinking with a reassured mind, “This is indeed he,” honored him with bathing, food, drink, clothing, and the like, and, having taken her place on the bed with him, said: “With my limbs thrilled with joy and horripilation born from contact with his body, and attached to you merely by seeing you, I have given myself to you. Apart from you, no other husband will exist even in my mind.” Then why do you not speak with her?

When this had been said, thinking, “This is another man,” she lowered him from the white house and released him. But the section watchman arrived. Meanwhile, he went to a temple in the quarter and slept. Then, when a stick-bearing constable arrived there, summoned by a sexually independent woman who had given him a signal, that other man, who had previously fallen asleep, was seen by him; and, in order to protect the secret, he asked: “Who are you?”
