mugdhe mudghatayaiva netumakhilaḥ kālaḥ kimārabhyate
mānaṃ dhatsva dhṛtiṃ vadhāna ṛjutāṃ dūre kuru preyasi |
sakhyaivaṃ pratibodhitā prativacastāmāha bhītānanā
nīceḥ śaṃsa hṛdi sthito nanu sa me prāṇeśvaraḥ śroṣyati ||67||(70)

'Innocent girl, why do you begin to pass all time only in innocence?
Assume amorous petulance, maintain firmness, put aside straightforwardness toward your lover!'
Advised thus by her female confidante, she spoke in reply with a frightened face:
'Speak softly! Surely that lord of my life, dwelling in my heart, will hear!' ||67||(70)
