THREE LOVERS
A prostitute named Magadhsena lived in Rajagruh. Persons named Arohak and Menth both loved her. Those three were latking on the groundfloor of the palace.
Magadhsena was telling to Arohak :
“You are my lover; so fulfill my wish. Bring for me an ornament named 'Champakmala.' If you don't I will hang myself to death."
Arohak : “I too love you deeply, but if I try to Fullfill your wish of this sort, I will have to die. Do you love the ornament more than me ?''
