THE BAITAL PACHCHISI. 81 " In short, the king one day sent that Rajput on some business to the sea-side. When he reached the sea-shore, he beheld a temple (dedicated) to Devi. He entered it, and worshipped Devi. But, on the instant of his coming out thence, a beautiful damsel came up to him from behind, and began questioning him, saying, 'Oman! why hast thou come... here?' He replied, ' I have come in quest of pleasure, and at the sight of thy beauty I am fascinated.' She said, ' If thou hast any design on me, first go and bathe in this pool; after that I will listen to whatever thou shalt say to me.' " " On the instant of hearing this, he took off his clothes, entered the pool and dipped, and came out, and lo ! he was standing in his own city ! On beholding this marvel, he was filled with fear, and returning home in his helplessness, clothed himself, and went and related the whole story to the king.
