There is a city named Ćūdāpura, ruled by a king named Ćūdāmani. The Royal Priest was one Harisvāmi, son of Devasvāmi. In looks the Royal Priest was as handsome as Love, the dolphin-bannered god; in learning he was another Brhaspati, Preceptor of the Gods; in wealth he was Vaiśravana, the Lord of Riches himself. He wedded the daughter of a certain Brāhmana. She was as beautiful as one of the daughters of the gods and her name was Lāvanyavatī, the maiden with the loveliness of lustrous pearls. They loved each other deeply.
Once, the couple were sleeping on the terrace of their mansion on a summer night. Seeing Lāvanyavatī sleeping naked, some Vidyādhara or other flying in the sky became enamoured of her beauty and swooping down, he picked her up in his arms and took her to his own palace in his aerial chariot.
When Harisvāmi awakened from sleep and sat up, he could not find his beloved wife. ‘Where is she? Who has taken her away?’ With such thoughts seething in his mind, Harisvāmi went searching in the entire city, but there was no trace of his wife. He returned to his mansion. He gazed on the empty bed, grieving and lamenting. ‘O, my darling! O, faithful wife! My heart’s beloved, dear as life to me! Abandoning me, where have you fled? Speak to me! Reply me!’ Lamenting in this manner he fell down.
‘Go, go, gentle breeze
where my beloved is,
caress her, then come, caress me.
breathing that air, I shall live
until I see her again.’
