Ä€gnÄ«dhra appreciated PÅ«rvacitti’s raised breasts. After seeing the girl’s breasts, he became almost mad. Nevertheless, he could not recognize whether PÅ«rvacitti was a boy or a girl, for as a result of his austerity he saw no distinction between the two. He therefore addressed her with the word dvija, “O brÄhmaṇa.†Yet why should a dvija, a brÄhmaṇa boy, have horns on his chest? Because the boy’s waist was thin, Ä€gnÄ«dhra thought, he was carrying the horns with great difficulty, and therefore they must be filled with something very valuable. Otherwise why would he carry them? When a woman’s waist is thin and her breasts are full, she looks very attractive. Ä€gnÄ«dhra, his eyes attracted, contemplated the heavy breasts on the girl’s thin body and imagined how her back must sustain them. Ä€gnÄ«dhra imagined that her raised breasts were two horns she had covered with cloth so that others would not see the valuables within them. Ä€gnÄ«dhra, however, was very anxious to see them. Therefore he requested, “Please uncover them so that I can see what you are carrying. Rest assured that I shall not take it away. If you feel an inconvenience in removing the covering, I can help you; I myself can uncover them to see what valuable things those raised horns contain.†He was also surprised to see the red dust of perfumed kuá¹…kuma spread over her breasts. Nevertheless, still considering PÅ«rvacitti a boy, Ä€gnÄ«dhra addressed her as subhaga, most fortunate muni. The boy must have been fortunate; otherwise how simply by standing there could he perfume Ä€gnÄ«dhra’s entire ÄÅ›rama?
