The Thirty-ninth Chapter
Priyasundari, having somehow caught sight of him, became enamored of him. Though she was attached to him, she became detached like water [i.e., lost her appetite] (14). Calling her confidante Bandhumati aside, she asked her, "You are the beloved of my husband. What is his skill and expertise?" (15) Bandhumati, in her innocence, described to her the clever behavior of that innocent one [i.e., Vasudeva], how she had fallen into infatuation with him, experiencing great happiness (16). Priyasundari, putting aside her pride, went to the doorkeeper and said, "Either let him come to me or I will kill myself" (17). The Yadavas, considering this improper and unethical, skillfully devised a pretext to pass the time (18). The girl, Shouri's daughter, in whom he had placed his trust, thinking her desire would be fulfilled that night on the bed, (19) embraced the sleeping Bandhumati and the Vrishni hero [i.e., Vasudeva], and a divine Nagakanya [serpent maiden] awakened them in the night (20). Awakened, he saw the woman with the serpent mark all over her body, and wondered, "Who is this woman here?" (21) And being called by the skilled in amorous conversation, he was led by the modest one to the Ashoka grove, where she said, "Listen, O steadfast one! I shall tell you the reason for my coming, by which your ears will be satisfied as if with nectar" (22-23). There was a king named Amoghdarshana, of unimpeded prowess, who had conquered the circle of his enemies, in the Chandana forest (24). His beloved was Charumati, and their son, endowed with political wisdom and heroism, was the beautiful Charuchandra, adorned with fresh youth (25). And in that city was a courtesan named Rangasena, endowed with the qualities of the arts, the daughter of Kamapatakas, as it were the flag of Kama [the god of love] (26).
