योषिद्रूपं समाश्रित्य तिष्ठतेऽत्राकुतोऽभया । इत्थं क्षणं तां निर्वर्ण्य स राजागात्तदंतिकम्
yoṣidrūpaṃ samāśritya tiṣṭhate'trākuto'bhayā | itthaṃ kṣaṇaṃ tāṃ nirvarṇya sa rājāgāttadaṃtikam
«Ayant pris la forme d’une femme, elle se tient ici : comment y aurait-il de la crainte ? Ainsi, l’ayant regardée un moment, le roi s’approcha d’elle.»

Type: kshetra
Scene: A king, momentarily arrested by wonder, sees a figure in a woman’s form standing fearlessly in a sacred setting; after a brief gaze he steps closer, the space charged with divine concealment.
Outer form can conceal deeper realities; discernment is needed even when circumstances appear harmless.
