The Dextrous Divinity
Scene Sixteen : Song 16 : Verse 40
Translation“O sakhi, my heart feels the pleasing company of my friends to be like the association of enemies. The cool and gentle breeze seems like a sacrificial fire and the moonshine gives me pain as if it were poison. Nevertheless, my heart is forcibly attached to him against my will. It is true that käma is always com plete ly unbridled in dealing with impassioned young women who are as beautiful as the night-blooming water lily.” |
