Rajimati
: I am no article for sale
to be done, My love remains for only one. No, no, no that is impossibleI belong to him alone. To whom my mind and mortal frame Have been already lain. His way is the way of mine[Since) life and youth are both
changeful so. Permit me, I shall renounce the worldly life And to Raivatacal shall go.
Rathanemi
: 0 thou beauteous slim,
So young you are, How you will carry The burden of your youth ? Accept me I shall give you protection.
Mother of Rajimati
: Rightly spoken
O thou son of the Vrsnis.
Female companions : Aye, aye, aye !
Rajimati
: Fie, fie, fie ! Can any body take back the food
once disgorged ? Without substance the world is, True is love, I am his, I am his, I am hisI am no trader for pleasure
of men.
Krsna
: Praised be ye, praised be ye,
O maiden !
