kaccittapo vardhate tāpasānāṃ pitā ca te kaccidahīnatejāḥ |
kaccittvayā prīyate caiva vipra kaccitsvādhyāyaḥ kriyate ṛśyaśṛṅga || 8 ||

"The courtesan said, 'I hope, O saint! that is all well with the religious devotees. And I hope that thou hast a plentiful store of fruits and roots and that thou takest delight in this hermitage. Verily I come here now to pay thee a visit. I hope the practice of austerities among the saints is on the increase. I hope that thy father's spirit hath not slackened and that he is well pleased with thee. O Rishyasringa of the priestly caste! I hope thou prosecutest the studies proper for thee.'"
