After repeated requests from Keechaka, Sudeshna one day decided to send Panchali (Malini) to her brother to fetch some liquor, and sweetly spoke to her.
 
O jewel among girls, Malini, come here,
with a face to rival the moon, O friend, hear my words.

Since you reside at my home every day and night,
days seem like moments, and most joyful to me.

Today I am going to tell you one wish 

do not, you sweet-voiced, feel distressed
 
To my brother's home, most beautiful, you must go
to fetch rice and liquor, and happily return soon.
