Sexual Life in Ancient India: A Study in the Comparative History of Indian Culture v2.c11.55

- **Language:** English

### [v2.c11.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v2.c11.55)

She might have gone into that forest  
of blooming, close-set trees of many kinds,  
and filled with flocks of birds.—But that too cannot be.  
Left thus alone, the timid one is too afraid.  
What here is done, what not, O sun, knowest it,  
witness to the works of truth and falsehood.  
Whither then went my darling? Did a robber take her?  
Tell me of all, who am the mark of sorrow.  
Nothing, nothing is in the universe to find,  
whereof, O wind, thou shouldst no knowledge have.  
Tell of her that is the treasure of her house:  
is she dead? carried off? still on the way?"
