ENGLISH TRANSLATION
101.Beloved, a religious man will not force himself on a woman. A wise man will not do that. No man in my family will do that. 102.I am a great warrior in the pastimes of amorous battle. Come to me. Enjoy sex with me. Ah, perhaps no one can control a promiscuous girl. 103.When she heard the demon king's words, her throat, palace and lips became dry. Her pride killed by Kämadeva's weapons, she rebuked herself and spoke. 104.Tilottamä said: Beloved, why do you speak like that? You are more dear than life to me. Why are you angry. Please do whatever you wish. 105.If I turn from you and go to Candra, then you will curse me and I will be in great trouble. 106.Play with me. Lord Hari will make your life auspicious. A man who honors women is happy at every step. 107.A man who dishonors women is a fool. He is the lowest of men. Chaste Päravti ensures that he suffers at every step. 108.Hearing Tilottamä's words, Bali's son laughed. Intelligent and learned in the Käma-çästras, he understood her heart. 109.Learned in the Käma-çästras, and now clearly knowing her heart, he took her hand, embraced her, and kissed her lotus mouth. 110.He took her to a cave in Mount Gandhamädana. Entering the cave, he saw that it was deserted.
