Then, at the behest of the Kunchuki, she descended from the palace, having captivated the hearts of those kings with her playful glances. || 285 ||
Wherever her gaze fell, it was as if it were nailed there, and those kings, unable to look at her as she descended, were filled with sorrow. || 286 ||
Then, she mounted a chariot adorned with golden tassels and driven by horses, its sound a symphony of tinkling bells, a chariot that seemed to be constantly engaged in the annihilation of the ugly and the summoning of the beautiful, with its banners fluttering up and down like arms. || 287-288 ||
Once again, she embraced the knowledge of Kamadeva, dear to the heart, like a creeper of lightning in the midst of the brilliance of pearl ornaments, fanned by the pure chamaras that rivaled the moon and constantly dispelled the flaws in the eyes of the people. || 289-290 ||

Like a demon, he immediately entered all her limbs, and at will, he manifested the distortions that arose in her eyebrows, eyes, and mouth. || 292 ||
"If I had a body, could I achieve unity with this Sulochana? Could I enter her body?" Thus, Kamadeva, as if he were pleased with his bodiless state, thought to himself. || 293 ||
She, the embodiment of all pleasures, was enjoyed by Kamadeva in a distorted form. Having rejected the bodies of those who had been conquered, he would achieve victory. || 294 ||
