Why did you make these words? I advanced earlier like one pressing forward in the house of dawn. I, Pururavas, again come to the other side; a hard-to-reach wind am I.
(Ūrvaśī. What can we accomplish through such discourse? I have passed away from you like thefirst of the dawns. Return Purūravā, to your dwelling; I am as hard to catch as the wind.
What am I now to do with this thy saying? I have gone from thee like the first of Mornings. Pururavas, return thou to thy dwelling: I, like the wind, am difficult to capture.
