"There was once a famous King by name PURANJANA.  He had a friend whose name was AVIGNYATA.  This friend had earned that name because no one knew what he did and how he acted.  His presecnce was unkown to everyone and unless one thought of him and asked him to be with him, he would not make his appearance.  Puranjana and he were very great friends.  In fact they were considered by everyone as "the inseperables".  They would ever be together, and so it was for a long while.

As Time went on Puranjana became restless. Avignyata was not. Though he was warned by his friend, Puranjana left his Home and the company of His Friend and went in search of a new Home, a new dwelling place. He wanted a City fit enough to be ruled by Him and He searched all the World over for it. For a long Time He wandered in search of a City for Himself. He travelled far and wide and yet, He could not find what He was looking for. He was very unhappy since many of the places He found and even tried, were not Good enough for Him to stay in.. And so He kept on travelling.

Once on the southern slopes of the Himalaya he found a City. It was a beautiful City. Nine Gateways adorned it. There were many turrets and there was a great wall around it. Lovely Gardens were to be found everywhere and all around the City was dug a moat. The Houses in the City were well designed. They were built out of Gold, Silver and Iron and inlaid with Precious Stones, Sapphires, Crystal, Amethyst, Pearl, Emeralds and Rubies. There was a mansion with seven floors. The streets were wide and large. There was a Market Place, there were Bazaars and there were Gambling Places in plenty. Pillars adorned with Corals and Silks were to be found everywhere. The City was called Bhogavati.

Adjoining the City was a Heavenly Garden. All the Trees of Heaven were found there. The birds and the bees vied with each other in making sweet music. There was a lake and across the lake blew a pleasant cool breeze. The breeze was laden with the perfume of innumerable flowers. The trees on the edge of the lake made the place delightfully shady and inviting. The Cuckoos were making sweet music in the Mango grove and the King, Puranjana wandered around drinking in the beauty of the place.

All on a sudden, there came within his sight a beautiful Woman. He thought that She was a Heavenly Damsel. Her form was captivating. Her Eyes, Her Face, Her Lips, Her Hips, and Her lovely Breasts were intoxicatingly lovely. She might have been about sixteen. Her Eyes looked here and there and Her Eyelids fluttered like the Wings of a Butterfly. She looked at Him and away from Him. The Golden Earrings which She wore in Her small Ears seemed to whisper secrets into Her Ear making Her blush. She was dark and Her form was swaying captivatingly as She moved.

Puranjana stood rooted to the spot gazing at Her. He came to His senses for a moment and he saw that She was strangely attended. There seemed to be ten main attendants and these ten had each a hundred Women as companions. An immense Cobra with five Heads was walking ahead of Her as though keeping close watch on Her:  guarding Her.

Puranjana pulled his Eyes away from the others and looked at Her once again. The language of Her Eyes; the sighs which made Her Breasts heave; the way She tried in vain to cover them with the silk which She had draped on Her shoulder; the way She stood tracing patterns on the ground with her toe-nail: all these made him realise that she did not resent his presence: that She was also interested in Him. A smile hovered on Her lips and he went near Her. He had to speak to Her or else he would die or so he thought.

He asked Her: “Tell me who you are. You are so beautiful. Your Eyes, timid like those of a deer are making me mad. They are like the petals of a lotus. Whose daughter are you? Where have you come from? Where do you  belong? Are you a Woman of the Heavens come down to the Earth to see its beauty? Are you Hree, the Wife of Dharma? Bhavani, the consort of MAHADEVA?  Are you Sarasvati, looking for Brahma? Perhaps you are Lakshmi, the Wife of Lord NARAYANA. Beauty like yours just cannot be Earthly. What are you thinking about? In you preoccupation the Lotus which was in your Hand has fallen down unnoticed.  You are not Heavenly since your Feet are touching the ground. You are Earthly. You have made me your slave by your beauty and by your captivating ways. Your dark Eyes have made me your slave. Will you become mine? I have fallen in Love with you. Please make me happy by becoming my Wife. Tell me who these attendants are: these Ten Men and these Hundreds of Women. How is it possible for you to have this dreadful snake with you all the Time? I am sorely puzzled. Please lift up your Eyes and look at me.”

With a smile and with halting words she spoke to Him. She said: “I do not know who I am nor do I know who created Me. All I know is that I belong to this City and that I live here. I do not know who built this City either.

“These Men, My Lord, are my companions and these Women who are the attendants are also my Friends. This five-Headed snake guards this city when I am asleep and it is ever with me.  It is my good fortune that you have come to me. You have come in search of pleasure and I can, with the help of these friends of mine, gratify all your desires. You can be the Lord of this City. I will be by your side. You can drink the cup of joy to the fill for a hundred years. You are the ideal Man to become my Husband. I would never have been happy with a Man who is a scorner of the pleasures of the senses: who is ever thinking of death which is imminent: who is always thinking of tomorrow and worries about it. Such a Man is not dear to me. But you are different. Your thoughts are only of pleasure. You have no thought of tomorrow nor are you scared at the thought of death. You will be satisfied with the happiness that you can get in the present. There is nothing so wonderful as the Love between Man and Woman. Nothing else can equal that Happiness. You desire Me and I am very much in Love with you.  Come with me to the City called Bhogavati and we will live happily without a single thought for anything else.”
