On one occasion the king in company of his queen in his pleasure garden saw an ant attempting to please his better-half. Being overpowered with the arrows of Cupid, the ant crawled behind its help-mate and said. "Ah! my love! I have not seen a prettier and sweeter form than thine in any of the three regions. See how delicate thy waist is? Both thy thighs resemble the plantain trunk, thy swelling breasts, thy strut of an elephant, thy golden complexion, thy melodious voice resembling that of the cuckoo, thy enchanting smile, thy eyes like lotus, thy tongue that loves the taste of pure sugar, are indeed matchless. Thou art an ardent devotee of thy husband so much so that thou wilt never breakfast before me, thou wilt always bathe after me, thou art always gloomy during my absence, thou always shiverest when I am in an angry mood, what is the reason of thy turning your face away from me in anger to-day"? Hearing such a speech of the ant his wife said "Do not talk like that; you are false to me. I know all thy tricks, yesterday thou feasted another with the particles of sweet." 28-34.
