In the Harivamsha Purana,
Kalingsena had previously signaled to the courtesan. Therefore, she welcomed and honored both of us with offerings of seats and other courtesies. || 54 ||
Then, Kalingsena and Rudradutta began to gamble. Kalingsena won Rudradutta's upper garment in the gamble. Then, I was eager to play with Kalingsena, removing Rudradutta from the game. || 55 ||
Seeing me eager, Vasantasena could not bear it. Therefore, she, being clever, separated her mother and began to gamble with me. || 56 ||
I was engrossed in gambling for a long time. Meanwhile, I became very thirsty. She gave me cool water, fragrant with a mind-enchanting yoga. || 57 ||
Due to excessive trust, my love for her grew. Her mother made me hold her hand. || 58 ||
I lived there for twelve years, forgetting my parents and my beloved wife, Mitravati. What to speak of other matters? || 59 ||
The virtues that had grown in me through the service of elders were covered by the vices that arose from the service of a young woman, just as virtuous people are covered by wicked people. || 60 ||
Our father was a wealthy man with sixteen crore dinars. When all the wealth gradually went to Kalingsena's house, and finally Mitravati's ornaments began to arrive, seeing this, Kalingsena, skilled in mantras, spoke to Vasantasena one day in private, saying, "Daughter! I speak for your benefit, so listen to my words." || 61-62 ||
The person who always practices the mantra, the nectar of the words of the guru, is always far away from the planet of misfortune, it never comes near him. || 63 ||
You know our despicable profession, that a wealthy man is our beloved. A man whose wealth has been extracted is like the husk of sugarcane, fit to be discarded. || 64 ||
Today, Charudatta's wife sent her body ornament. Seeing it, I returned it out of compassion. || 65 ||
Therefore, now abandon this worthless (poor) Charudatta and enjoy another wealthy man, like a new sugarcane. || 66 ||
1. Rudradutta's upper garment is called Rudradutta.
2. Our profession is despicable, a wealthy man is our beloved.
3. Send it back.
