O great king! observing this state of things, Ookha immediately shut all the doors, and came in great fright into the house, and, putting her arms most affectionately round her husband’s neck, laid down upon the bed; then having concealed him, and hid him from the sight of her female friends and companions, she began to attend upon him in secret; after some time her friends and companions found out that Unroodrù had come there, and that she passed the day and night in amorous enjoyment with her lord. One day Ookha’s mother came to look after her daughter; and without being observed saw her seated very happily, and playing at _choupur_ in a house with a very handsome young man. On perceiving this, she returned home, without saying a word, on tiptoe, and in profound silence; highly delighted and uttering benedictions. Some days afterwards Ookha seeing her husband asleep, came forth blushing from the house, and thinking to herself, “I hope that no one from not seeing me will imagine, that I remain in the house for my husband’s sake.” O great king! Ookha leaving her husband alone, went off; but could not stay away from him, she returned again to the house, and shutting the doors, engaged in amorous diversion. On observing this act, the door-keepers said to each other, “Brother! what is the reason of the Raja’s daughter having to-day come out of the house after remaining there so long, and returning again immediately?” One of them remarked, “Brother! for some days past I have observed the doors of Ookha’s house shut day and night, and there is some man inside, who sometimes laughs and talks with her, and sometimes plays at _choupur_.” Another said, “If this be true, let us go and mention the matter to Banasoor; why should we, knowing these circumstances, remain sitting quietly here?” One of them said, “Let us not mention the matter, remain all of you at some distance from the house, let what will happen; no one can control the future, speak not a word about what the young lady may do, but remain silent spectators of all that happens.”
