Dharma said: O beautiful woman, you are Lakṣmī herself; you are charming, you are worthy of a king; you are in the very prime of youth; you will be ever young; you are a lovely sweet lady.

जरातुरस्य वृद्धस्य पिप्पलादस्य वै मुनेः ॥ सत्यं वदामि तन्वंगि समीपे नैव राजसे ॥ १२ ॥
I am telling you the truth, O slender-limbed lady. You lack lustre and colour in the presence of the sage Pippalāda who is old and weak.

विप्रं तपस्सु निरतं निर्घृणं मरणोन्मुखम् ॥ त्वक्त्वा मां पश्य राजेन्द्रं रतिशूरं स्मरातुरम् ॥ १३ ॥
Cast off that ruthless old brahmin always engaged in penances. Look up to me a great king, heroic in sexual dalliance and agitated by Kāma.

प्राप्नोति सुन्दरी पुण्यात्सौन्दर्य्यं पूर्वजन्मनः ॥ सफलं तद्भवेत्सर्वं रसिकालिंगनेन च ॥१४॥
A beautiful woman acquires beauty as a result of the merit of a previous birth. The beauty becomes completely fruitful only after embracing a man of aesthetic taste.

I am the lover of a thousand beautiful women. I am an expert in the erotic science and literature. Abandon that husband and make me your slave.
