3.p2

Parasite.
These are the only two gods for me—the one who is always drinking, and the one who brings lovers together—Baladeva and Káma-deva. (Reels about.) Assuredly the life of me, Śekharaka, is very prosperous, since in my bosom is a loved lady, in my mouth lotus-scented wine, and on my head a garland, like a perpetual minister to my wants. (Stumbles.) Halloa! Who is pushing against me now? (With joy.) Assuredly Navamáliká makes game of me.

3.p2.n1

Baladeva, the elder brother of Krishna, celebrated for his drinking exploits; a sort of Bacchus.
