" The Rakshas, though appearing to be satis- fied with these stories, required me to relate that of Nitambavati, which I proceeded to do. " In a city called Madhura, there dwelt a man named Kalahakantaka, of great strength and vigour, ready at any time to take up the quarrel of a friend, famed for deeds of vio- lence, and devoted to pleasures and amuse- ments. " One day he saw a picture exhibited by a painter, a new-comer, and stopped to look at HINDOO TALES. 283 it. It was the portrait of a la...dy so beautiful that he fell in love with her at once. Desirous of finding out whom it represented, he praised the picture exceedingly, and having put the artist in good humour, got him to say who the lady was. * Her name/ said he, * is Nitam- bavati ; she is the wife of a merchant living at Avanti or Oujein, and I was so struck by her beauty that I sought and obtained permission to paint her portrait. 5 "On hearing this, Kalahakantaka, taking another name, went to Oujein ; and there, having disguised himself as a mendicant, got admission to the merchant's house, saw the lady, whose beauty exceeded even his expecta- tion, and was confirmed in his wicked purpose.
