And when all this had been done, that gentle lady Sudeshna, as previously counselled by Kichaka, desired her Sairindhri to repair to Kichaka's abode, saying, 'Get up, O Sairindhri and repair to Kichaka's abode to bring wine, for, O beauteous lady, I am afflicted with thirst. Thereupon the Sairindhri replied, 'O princess, I shall not be able to repair to Kichaka's apartments.

The time has now arrived, when thou must fight the battle which each must fight single-handed with his mind.
