The next objective of the Vita is Shonadasi, the mistress of Chandradhara. She is seated on the threshold of the outer gate of the house. She has wrapped herself in a soiled garment and smeared red sandal on the forehead. Her hair is tied with a ribbon. She is strumming the *vina* and singing softly. The Vita has heard of her quarrel with her lover and of their estrangement. He advises her to seek reconciliation with her lover. He quotes an example. Does not the Ganga go out to meet the sea?
