O daughter of the King of Kekaya, hear my words
O the beautiful form that heavenly women revere
O the queen among smart women, I am Sairandhri,
the maid of Yajnaseni, the queen of Indraprastha
O dark-haired, my name now is Malini
the vagaries of time duly brought me here
I am an expert in the arts and letters
can I stay with you here?
