“Come here, lovely-eyed ones, and take your clothes, each her own.” As you said this with a soft, teasing smile, the girls were bewildered.

When they came up the bank with joined palms, you saw they were pure and had no refuge but you, and gladly gave back all their clothes, along with your grace and these words:

“I know what is in your hearts, and I will give the right answer: the moonlit nights on the sands of the Yamuna.” So you told the girls.

Hearing those honey-sweet words from your lips, the doe-eyed girls slowly went home, gazing lovingly again and again at your lotus face.
