Having worn rings shining as fire on my ears and conch-bangles on my wrist, and dressing my hair in a bread on my head and taking the name of Brihannala I shall, O king, appear as one of the third sex, and please the king and others in the seraglio by reciting stories often and often as becomes a female.
पिनद्धकम्बुः पाणिभ्यां तृतीयां प्रकृतिं गतः। वेणीकृतशिरा राजन् नाम्ना चैव बृहन्नला।॥ पठन्नाख्यायिकाश्चैव स्त्रीभावेन पुनः पुनः। रमयिष्ये महीपालमन्यांश्चान्तःपुरे जनान्॥
