Bhavadeva:
Immediately after our wedding I have left her and went away.
Female-votary: Because of the favourable results of your past good
deeds, you did very well to accept asceticism.
Bhavadeva:
Does N gil lead an ideal life of a female-votary by being virtuous and pious?
Female-votary: N gil not only follows the idealistic female-votary
life but also encourages many other women to do the same.
Bhavadeva:
Iconstantly think of her; does she do the same?
Female-votary: In spite of being a monk, you have forgotten your
responsibilities; however, unlike you Female-votary N gil is sincerely following the path of Spiritualexertion, which enhances her spiritual progress. She constantly & Strictly adheres to the high values of a female-votary and performs severe austerities, drinking the nectar of preaching of great ‘Monks and Female monks', she carries out ritualized confession (Pratikrama a), accepting not to repeat flaws in future (Praty khy na) etc., in order to uproot the chronic disease of birth and death and to attain liberation.
r vike!
I would like to see my N gil once with my own eyes.
Female-votary: Oh Great Monk! What purpose would it serve from
this impure thought? What is there in the physical appearance? You have already seen me. There is no difference between me and her. I am N gil and N gil is me.
Bhavadeva:
Then tell me the truth O pious Female-votary! Are you N gil ?
