vivastraṃ snānasaktānāṃ divāmaithunagāminām | yatpāpaṃ tena lipye'haṃ nāgacchāmi punaryadi
“Apa jua dosa bagi mereka yang mandi tanpa pakaian dengan ketagihan, dan apa jua dosa bagi mereka yang melakukan persetubuhan pada siang hari—biarlah aku ternoda oleh dosa itu, jika aku tidak kembali lagi.”
Nandinī
Listener: Vyāghra (tiger)
Scene: Nandinī continues her oath, naming specific conduct-faults (improper naked bathing; daytime intercourse) as the sin she would incur if she fails to return; the scene remains a still moral courtroom in the forest.
