c10.7

The servant is a low-born character. He seeks to tempt her, describing his master as a royal protege, who can provide her "with good flesh and fish to eat". (Ryder, I. 26). The Vita draws a picture of Vasantasena fleeing from them, her girdle drooping low upon her hip, and the red realgar dripping from her cheeks and lips. (Ryder, I, 27).
