5.15.6
sa ca vyādhaḥ striyau dṛṣṭvā smaradūtī jagāda tām
devi māmattumāyāti kare gṛhṇātu māṃ sakhī 20
vṛṃdā tayoktaṃ śrutvainaṃ vikṛtāsyaṃ vyalokayat
vīkṣyataṃ bhayavātena nirdhūtā siṃdhujapriyā 21
dudrāva vikalaṃ śubhraṃ smaradūtyā samaṃ vane
vidravaṃtī samaṃ sakhyā tāpasāśramamāgatā 22
sā tāpasavane tasmindadarśātyaṃtamadbhutam
pakṣiṇaḥ kāṃcanīyāṃgānnānāśabdasamākulān 23
And seeing the two women, that hunter—Smaradūtī spoke to her: / “O queen, he is coming to devour me! Let my friend take me by the hand!” / Hearing what she said, Vṛndā looked at that man of deformed face; / beholding him, shaken by the wind of fear, the beloved of the Ocean’s son / ran away in distress, the fair lady, together with Smaradūtī in the forest; / fleeing along with her friend, she reached the ascetic's hermitage. / In that ascetic forest she beheld something exceedingly wondrous: / birds with golden bodies, chirping with diverse songs.
