4.34.3.5

She too, upon the mention of her favorite deity and the sight of that scroll, / as if receiving a sprinkling of nectar, quickly arose, casting off her faint,
like medicinal herbs withered by drought revived by downpours of rain, / and gazed again upon the Jñānavāpikā, the bestower of knowledge.
Touching that well, even though it was on the painting, Kalāvatī / obtained knowledge of another birth, as it had been in her previous life.
Again she reflected upon the supreme greatness of the well: / 'Ah! Even though situated in a painting, this Jñānavāpikā, being touched,
has produced in me the knowledge arising from another birth!' / Then, delighted, the beautiful lady related before them
her own past-life story, which had arisen from the power of the Jñānavāpī.
Kalāvatī said: / 'Before this birth, I was the daughter of a brahmin.
I used to sport with joy at the Jñānavāpī near Viśveśvara in Kāśī.
My father was Harisvāmin, and my mother Priyaṃvadā;
my name was Suśīlā. A vidyādhara carried me away.
Then, along the path in the middle of the night, near the Malaya mountain, / a hero, struck by a rākṣasa, slew that rākṣasa.
The rākṣasa too, freed from his curse, attained a divine body.
He was born as a gandharva from Malayaketu; / and I became Kalāvatī, the daughter of the Karṇāṭa king.
This knowledge arose in me instantly from the sight of the Jñānavāpī.' / Hearing her words, Buddhiśarīriṇī
and those attendants of hers became joyful of face; / bowing down to the virtuous Kalāvatī, they said:
'Ah! How indeed can that [well] be attained, whose power is such? / Cursed is the birth of those in this mortal world by whom the Jñānavāpikā has not been seen!
O Kalāvatī, homage to you! Fulfill our desire! / Make our birth fruitful! Praying to the king, take us there!
And this is our vow, beginning today, O Kalāvatī:
