325 Vidyadhar saw this beautiful lady from his sky-route. By the powers he had, he kidnapped the prostitute. There was din and bustle amids the girl-friends of the prostitute. They began to scream and cry.
I got the secret of this incident and shot an arrow. Vidyadhar was killed by it and the prostitute, freed from him, was flung afar in the midst of a big lake. I plunged into the lake and saved her from being drowned. The prostitute was yery much thankful to me and forced me to accept her invitation to visit her palace.
She then asked me the reason. I told 'her the wish of my faithful wife and our mutual love. She burst into laughter and said :
“How simpletion and innocent you are ! Your wife seems to be a bad character, she has befooled you by sending you here."
