She became pregnant. One day she told the king about her desire to dip in a pond of blood. The king got a pond ready, filled with the juice of Lākṣā (a kind of wax, the boiled water of which will look like blood) and such other things. Mṛgāvatī began to dip and splash in the pond of blood. When she was dipping under the juice, taking her to be a large piece of flesh, an eagle took her from the pond and flew away. The king was overwhelmed with grief and fell down. Then the charioteer came down from heaven and informed the king of the curse of Tilottamā, and then he returned. - [Previous: c9.3408](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3408) - [Next: c9.3410](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3410) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3409](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3409) · Pramāṇa
