"शौरे कस्माद् विधत्सै दशनपदमिदं चारुकेश्याहितं ते" चारुत्वं कीदृगस्य श्रित-पशु-वपुषा केशिना निर्मितस्य ?" । "**rece nalfa aparazzi" "araha aa -” त्थेवं गोप्याऽवताद् वः क्ष(कं ?)पट-धरण-प्रीणितः कैटभारिः ॥
(ŚP. p. 602) 'o Sauri, why do you display this tooth-mark impressed on you (i.e. on your lip) by Cārukeši (Cārukesi-āhitam)' ?
How can it be beautiful (cāru), produced as it is by Kesin (kesi), who had assumed the bodily form of a beast ?”
'You brazenly unfaithful! I don't mean that. I am talking of the milkmaid (vraja.yuvatim)'.
*Very well, here I am wooing (vrajāmi) a young girl.
May the enemy of Kaitabha, thus resorting to chicanery, and delighted by the milkmaid (?) protect you'.
The Gopi of this dialogue is possibly Rādhā, who creates a scene with Kțşņa, who has just returned after spending a night with Cārukesi. Kțsņa tries to save himself by resorting to Sleșa on the words Cārukeśyāhitam and vrajayuvatim used by Rādhā. We can campare with this the Kršņakarņāmstaa verse (rādhā-mohanmandirād etc.) referred to above.
A closely similar repestee between Krsna and one of his sweethearts is instanced by the verse vāsaḥ samprati keśava kvabhavato etc. cited on p. 607 cf ŚP.).

Footnotes I have slightly emended Velankar's text orthographically, and my translation differs from his in several points.
See V. Raghavan, Bhojas Songāraprakāśa, (1963), pp. 567, 887-891, where the references and citations are noted and their implications are fully brought out. G. R. Josyer's edition of the Srngāraprakasa silently omits the Prakrit passage given by Raghavan.
