She took off her clothes and was naked as she was born, thus she was seen by Rathanêmi, whose (peace of) mind became (thereby) disturbed; and afterwards she saw him. (34)
She was frightened when she discovered herself alone with the monk; folding her arms over her breast she sank down trembling. (35)
When the prince, Samudravigaya's son, saw her frightened and trembling, he spoke the following words: (36)
'I am Rathanêmi, O dear, beautiful, sweetly-speaking lady! Do accept me for your lover, O slender one, you shall have no cause to complain. (37)
'Come, let us enjoy pleasures, for it is a rare chance to be born a human being; after we have enjoyed pleasures, we shall enter on the path of the Ginas.' (38)
When Râgîmatî perceived that Rathanêmi's strength of will was broken, and temptation had got the better of him, she did not lose her presence of mind and defended her Self on that occasion. (39)
The daughter of the best king, true to self-control and her vows, maintained the honour of her clan and family, and her virtue, and spoke to him: (40)
'If you owned the beauty of Vaisramana, the pleasing manners of Nalakûbara, if you were like Purandara himself, I should have no desire for you. (41)
'Fie upon you, famous knight, who want to quaff the vomited drink for the sake of this life; it would be better for you to die. (42)
