बहुधाप्यनुशिष्टेयं मया भूप यथा त्वया । मोहिन्या मोहरूपाया नान्यत्संरोचतेऽधुना ॥ २ ॥
bahudhāpyanuśiṣṭeyaṃ mayā bhūpa yathā tvayā | mohinyā moharūpāyā nānyatsaṃrocate'dhunā || 2 ||
O König, obgleich ich dich, wie du fragtest, vielfach unterwiesen habe, so gefällt dir doch nun, wegen Mohinī, der Verführerin, deren Gestalt selbst Täuschung ist, nichts anderes mehr.
