Accept thy lover, nor refuse

The giant king who fondly woos.

O listen, nor reject in scorn

A heart by Káma's arrows torn.

If thou refuse to hear my prayer,

Of grief and coming woe beware;

For the sad fate will fall on thee

Which came on hapless Urvaśí,

When with her foot she chanced to touch

Purúravas, and sorrowed much.[502]
