[287] She of lovely skin, gleaming against the dark trees,
drew near like lightning upon a great cloud.
For her [he made ready] a seat (koccha), its head-piece well bound,
made of kusa grass, clean, fragrant, overlaid with antelope hide;
and he said this to Hirī:
"Sit down, fair lady; be at ease upon this seat."
Then, when she had taken her place upon the seat,
to her, as she desired, Kosiya the great sage,
bearer of matted locks and radiance, in haste
himself brought the sudhā (the ambrosial food), together with water, upon fresh leaves.
Receiving it with both hands, delighted at heart,
she said this to the wearer of matted locks:
"Well then, holy one: honored now by you,
I may go victorious to heaven (tidiva)."
Given leave by Kosiya the radiant, sent on her way,
drunk with the pride of her beauty,
she went into the presence of the Thousand-eyed One:
"Here is the sudhā, Vāsava — grant me the victory!"
Then Sakka too paid honor to her —
the gods together with Inda [honored] that supreme maiden of the gods —
when, with palms joined, honored by gods and humans,
she sat down upon the new seat.
