Saṃvāhaka: Handsome, composed, unpretentious, charming without vanity in his charm, clever, sweet, skilled, ever courteous, cherished, he is pleased by what has been acquired. Having given, he does not boast. Even a small [kindness] he remembers, while even a great injury he forgets. Mistress, why say more? Even in the longest summer day it would not be possible to describe even a fourth part of the virtues of that high-born youth! Why say more? Through courtesy, he treats his own body as if it belonged to another.
Courtesan: (Aside) Handmaid, who can this be that imitates the virtues of the noble Cārudatta?
Maidservant: I too am eager to hear: who indeed adorns Ujjayinī with his virtues?
Courtesan: What next? What next?
Saṃvāhaka: Then, my body sold to his virtues, forgetting my wife, I became his dependent.
Courtesan: Is he poor?
Saṃvāhaka: Without being told, how does the noble lady know?
Courtesan: Virtue and wealth are rarely found together in one person. What next? What next?
