I looked towards the garden to see the original of the reflection. Then he (Rāma) was looking down into the waters of the glass pond. He also saw my face reflected in the water and suddenly he looked at me. Our eyes met and in all shyness I hurried to and hid myself in the ladies' quarters. - [Previous: c9.177](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.177) - [Next: c9.179](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.179) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.178](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.178) · Pramāṇa
