“ Indra was so captivated by her performance that he
seemed to devour her with his eyes. ‘Never before,’ he
exclaimed, ‘have I been so completely overcome by the
charms of a woman, nor have I ever heard such heart-thril-
ling sounds or eloquent language. With what feeling does
she pourtray the soft sentiment of love!’ Chitrangee was

Indra; ‘as he has so completely devoted himself to you,
he is worthy of my warmest regard and esteem. Let him
ask of me whatever he pleases, I will bestow it upon him
with great pleasure and satisfaction.’ Charoo, hearing all
