(tataḥ praviśati gaṇikā sambhrāntā viṭena śakāreṇa cānugamyamānā .)
śakāraḥ---ciṭṭha ciṭṭha vaśañcaśeṇie! ciṭṭha
kiṃ yāśi dhāvaśi padhāvaśi pakkhalantī
śāhu ppaśīda ṇa malīasi ciṭṭha dāva.
kāmeṇa śampadi hi ujjhai me śalīlaṃ
aṅgālamajjhapaḍide via cammakhaṇḍe .. 8 ..

(Then enters the courtesan, agitated, pursued by the parasite and the Śakāra.)
Śakāra---Stop, stop, Vasantasenā! Stop!
Why do you go, running, rushing, stumbling?
Be kind, please, you will not be killed, stop a moment!
For right now my body is burnt up with desire,
like a piece of leather fallen into the middle of glowing coals! (8)
