CANTO XXXII. 
Raghava’s journey to Delhi. 
Raghava starts for Delhi. He reaches the door of the Emperor’s 
court. Can get no admission, and is in danger of being trampled to 
death by the crowds of horses (485). The Emperor knew all that was 
going on. He hears that a Brahman beggar is standing at his gate 
with a bracelet in his hand (486). He sends for Raghava. He has 
pity on foreigners. He also has been one (497). Raghava appears. 
The Emperor asks, ‘ Why dost thou beg when possessed of such a brace- 
let?’ He replies that Ratna Sena has a lovely Padmin! of Simhala- 
dvlpa, for his wife, in Citaur. ‘ She is beauteous as the moon. She 
appeared at the lattice, gave me this bracelet for a reward, and took away 
my life ’ (498). The Emperor laughs and does not believe him. ‘ Thou 
art praising up a piece of glass. Where is this matchless lady ? I have 
sixteen hundred, and, if there is a perfectly beautiful lady anywhere, she 
is in my palace’ (499). Raghava replies, — 1 Thou ai’t an emperor, and 
I a beggar. I have travelled East and West, North and South, but there 
are four things that thou hast not got, the Padmini, Amrita, Harp9a, and 
the lion’s cub. 1 I have travelled far and wide and if I am ordered, I 
will describe the four kinds of women, the Hastinl, the SimhinI, the 
CitrinI, and the Padmini (500) . 
CANTO XXXIII. 
The tale of Pair Women. 
Description of the Hastinl (501), the SimhinI (502), the CitrinI 
(503). General account of the Padmini (504). Further particulars 
(505). Such is the Padmini who has come to Citaur (506). The 
dangers of her beauty (507). The lightning of her smile (503). Her 
raven locks (509). The parting of her hair (510). Her brow (511). 
her eyebrows (512), her eyes (513), her nose (514), her lips (515), her 
teeth (516), her voice (517), her ear (518), her cheek (519), her neck 
(520), her arms (521), her bosom (522), her gait (523), her delicate 
grace (524). 
The Emperor is struck senseless by this description of Padmavatl’s 
beauty. He becomes enamoured of her, and asks Raghava once more 
to tell him about Citaur and the Padmini (525). Raghava says that 
beside her there are five other jewels in Citaur, 2 and describes them 
(526). The Emperor richly rewards Raghava, giving him not only 
elephants and horses, but a pair to the bracelet, in which were fixed
