A scoundrel blocked her way, Subhā said this to him.

For indeed, friend, it is not allowable for a man to touch one gone forth.

The state of purity, without blemish, why do you stand blocking my way?

With a mind liberated everywhere, why do you stand blocking my way?"

Put down the ochre robe, come, let us delight in the forest covered with flowers.

The first month of spring is a pleasant season, come, let us delight in the forest covered with flowers.

What delight will there be for you, if you enter the forest alone?

Without a companion you wish to go, to the deserted, terrifying great forest.

In fine Kāsi cloth, soft and lovely, you shine in beautiful garments, incomparable.

For indeed there is no being dearer to me than you, O round-eyed one like a kinnarī.

Dwelling in sheltered mansions, let women attend upon you.

I shall make for you abundant ornaments of gold, jewels and pearls, of various kinds.

Ascend this very precious couch, fragrant with the essence of sandalwood adorned;

So you, practitioner of the holy life, will go to old age with your hair and limbs untouched."

Perishable body, seeing which, displeased, you look up?"

Having seen your eyes, my amorous enjoyment grows more and more.

Having seen your eyes, my sensual pleasure grows more and more.

For indeed there are no eyes dearer to me than yours, O round-eyed one like a kinnarī."

You wish to jump over Meru, you who pursue a daughter of the Buddha.

Nor do I know what it is like, for it has been destroyed with its root by the path.

Nor do I see what it is like, for it has been destroyed with its root by the path.

You should entice such a one, but you vex yourself with this one who knows.

Knowing the conditioned as foul, my mind does not cling to anything at all.

With the dart removed, without mental corruptions, gone to an empty dwelling, I rejoice.

Bound with strings and pegs, dancing in various ways.

One would not find it when made into pieces, on what there should one fix the mind?

Without phenomena it does not exist, on what there should one fix the mind?

In that your vision is distorted, the perception of a human woman is meaningless.

You approach, blind one, what is void, like a silver figure in the midst of people.

And here a boil and abscess arises, various eye components are massed together."

"Come, take this eye of yours," she gave it to that man at that very moment.

"May there be well-being for you, practitioner of the holy life, such a thing will not happen again."

Like grasping a venomous snake, could there be well-being? Forgive us."

Having seen him possessing the signs of uttermost merits, her eye became as it was before.
