we be so infatuated as forgetting our beauty to wander in the woods 

 and swing with our hands on the horns of deer ? And where is he 

 for whom all this is to be done ? And if he were to be found, how 

 will he know that this is Eani Ketaki, and that this is Madan-ban, 

 her wretched, scratched, torn, and wounded companion ? A curse 

 on this love, for abandoning the kingdom of your parents, and 

 pleasure, and sleep, and shame, we are called to wander on the banks 

 of streams ! It would be unseemly too. If he were in his own 

 form, there would be some little hope of finding him. But as it is, 

 I cannot undertake knowingly to render desolate the house of the 

 Eaja Jagat Prokas and the Eani Xamlata, and to deceive and lead 

 away their only darling daughter ; and to cause her to wander here 

 and there, and to make her subsist upon the leaves of the forest ; 

 and to reduce her to misery. This mad course did not occur to you 

 on that day when war was raging between your parents and his.
