ādiṣṭo 'si purā brahman keśavena ca dhīmatā
kasmādīśena saṃyogaṃ prāpya veśyātvamāgatāḥ //

“Sage! We have all been forcibly defiled by these robbers. Now we have lost our Dharma and place ourselves at your mercy. O, Seer! Pray explain, why we have been degraded to the status of concubines, we, who have been united with God. You have been ordained by the wise Kṛiṣṇa to be our guide. Pray explain to us the duties of concubines.” Thus questioned, the sage will say.—17-19.
