ìMan-eating demons roams about in the woods and assume all sorts of
deceptive forms. The water of the hills is exceedingly unwholesome; the hardships of
the forest are beyond all description. There are terrible serpents and fierce wild birds
and multitudes of demons who steal both man and woman. The boldest shudder at the
very thought of the forest; while you, O fawn-eyed lady, are timid by nature. You are
not fit for the woods, O fair lady; the world will revile me when they hear that I am
taking you to the forest. Can a female cygnet who has been brought up in the
nectarean water of the Månasa lake live in the salt water of the ocean? Can a cuckoo
that has made merry in a young mango grove have its appropriate place in a thicket
of Kar∂la bushes? Pondering this in your heart stay at home, O moon-faced lady; the
hardships of the forest are great.î (1ó4)

ìHe who does not reverently follow the advice of a disinterested friend, preceptor
and master has to repent fully at heart and surely harms himself.î (63)

When S∂tå heard these soft and winning words of Her beloved lord, Her lovely
eyes filled with tears. His soothing advice proved as scorching to Her as a moon-lit
autumnal night to a female Cakravåka bird. Videhaís Daughter could make no answer.
She was filled with agony to think that Her pious and loving lord would leave Her behind.
Perforce restraining Her tears Earthís Daughter took courage and throwing Herself at
Her mother-in-lawís feet spoke to her with Her two palms joined together, ìForgive,
O venerable lady, my great impudence. The lord of my life has tendered me only such
advice as is conducive to my best interests. I have, however, pondered within myself
and realized that there is no calamity in this world as great as being torn away from oneís
beloved lord.î (1ó4)
