to vices like stealing, gambling, visiting whorehouses and womanizing. Once he visited courtesan Kamadhvaja and got infatuated with her. He started passing his time enjoying all human comforts and carnal pleasures.
Once queen ShriDevi, consort of king Vijayamitra of that city, got some vaginal ailment. As a result she became unfit for enjoying conjugal pleasures with king. At some point of time king Vijayamitra got young Ujjhitak expelled from the house of Kamadhvaja courtesan and started enjoying all human comforts and carnal pleasures with courtesan. On getting expelled from the house of Kamadhvaja courtesan, that young Ujjhitak being madly attached (murchhit) with Kamadhvaja courtesan, infatuated (gruddha) with her, entrapped in her love (grathit), and lost in her thoughts (adyupapanna), could not think of loving any other person or thing and deriving mental peace. Always thinking about her, making efforts to possess her, devoting his mind speech and body to her, driven by his desire for her, he got himself involved in seeking an opportunity when the king did not come to courtesan Kamadhvaja's house, when no other royal person was there and when even an ordinary person was also not there.
At some point of time as soon as that young Ujjhitak got such an opportunity he stealthily entered the house of Kamadhvaja courtesan and started enjoying all human comforts and camal pleasures with her.

Meaning- Then one day king Vijayamitra, after taking his bath, applying auspicious mark on his forehead, embellished fully with ornaments, and accompanied by a throng of people, went to the house of Kamadhvaja courtesan. There he came across young Ujjhitak enjoying all human comforts and carnal pleasures with Kamadhvaja courtesan. As soon as he saw this he turned red with anger and became violent. Raising his eyebrows he got young Ujjhitak caught by his guards. After that he gave Ujjhitak a thorough beating by hammering and tossing his body with blows of stick, fist, knee, and elbow. Having done that the king got him tied in the avakotak bond (bending the neck and tying it with hands already tied at the back) and sentenced him to death.
