Skandham-5. Chapter-2. Slokam-11 :




Agnidhra then praised Purvacitti's raised breasts. He said: My dear
brahmana your waist is very thin, yet with great difficulty you are carefully
carrying two horns, to which my eyes have become attracted. What is filling
those two beautiful horns? You seem to have spread fragrant red powder upon
them, powder that is like the rising morning sun. O most fortunate one, I beg to
inquire where you have gotten this fragrant powder that is perfuming my
asrama, my place of residence.


Agnidhra appreciated Purvacitti's raised breasts. After seeing the girl's
breasts, he became almost mad. Nevertheless, he could not recognize whether
Purvacitti was a boy or a girl, for as a result of his austerity, he saw no
distinction between the two. He therefore addressed her with the word dvija,
"O brahmana." Yet why should a dvija, a brahmana boy, have horns on his
chest? Because the boy's waist was thin, Agnidhra thought, he was carrying the
horns with great difficulty. and therefore they must be filled with something
very valuable. Otherwise why would he carry them? When a woman's waist is
thin and her breasts are full, she looks very attractive. Agnidhra, his eyes
attracted, contemplated the heavy breasts on the girl's thin body and imagined
how her back must sustain them. Agnidhra imagined that her raised breasts
were two horns she had covered with cloth so that others would not see the
valuables within them. Agnidhra, however, was very anxious to see them.
Therefore he requested, "Please uncover them so that I can see what you are
carrying. Rest assured that I shall not take it away. If you feel an
inconvenience in removing the covering, I can help you; I myself can uncover
them to see what valuable things those raised horns contain." He was also
surprised to see the red dust of perfumed kunkuma spread over her breasts.
