Bali's Son and Tilakottamä Are Cursed by a Brähmana

Chapter 23: Verse 91-100

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 91.There never was, nor will there ever be any lover like Kämadeva. When I remember him my heart at once melts with love. 92.Thus I have told you everything about myself and about women in general. O great king, give your permission, and I will go at once to Candra. 93.O king of demons, when I leave Candra I will at once come and satisfy you. Of this there is no doubt. 94.Hearing this, Bali's son burst out laughing. He laughed again and again. Tortured with lust, she gazed at him with crooked eyes, and also laughed. 95.On a pretext she showed him her firm, full, high, gracefully round breasts fair like campaka flowers. 96.Then she showed him her very firm thighs so beautiful they rebuke the trunks of banana trees. She gazed at him and smiled. The hairs of her body stood erect. She placed her cheek before him. 97.Her heart devastated by lust, she took him to a secluded place. The hairs of her body stood erect. With her eyes she drank his face. 98.Again and agan she gazed and gazed at his form and garments. Out of love she covered her face with her fine sari. 99.Seeing the beautiful girl tortured by lust, Bali's intelligent and passionate son, eager to know what was in her heart, asked a question. 100.Sähasika said: What shall I do? O lotus-eyed one, please tell me the truth. I must soon leave for other duties. I cannot stay here long.
