[61] But just as our female messenger has been detained, having likewise detained this very fellow, let us equip ourselves for battle! Afterwards, let the utterly fierce boys of the family priest of our fathers be commanded, and let them forcefully dress him in women's attire! And once that dress is made, let this fellow, the nephew of the priest of the king of Vraja and no mere child, go there and bring the words of our message close to his ears: 'We have no other girl; however, from the island of Siṃhala, an exceptional woman resembling a lotus (padminī) having the lustre of a lamp, surpassing all excellence, has been brought. Let her be wed by the king himself.'
