Description:

Rashya Srunga. Like the first shots of Sunrise, appears before the eyes of the youthful Sage Rishyasringa the enchanting girl dancer of the court of king Lomapada with all her beauty and splendour Momentarily the young hermit with holds his offer of "arghya" to the Sun-God. The first sight of a charming face and her alluring movements make his innocent heart forget worship, his body reflects curves and bends in sympathy with the sonorous modulations of music and dance of the dansense until he forgets his morning prayers, his oferings to deities and follows the girl as if in a trance uninitiated, he tries to imitate the clever steps of the dancer and his simple and austere heart cannot realise the effects of a passion never felt before, now raging within his heart which led him uncontrolled and nunchecked to be locked in an embrace with the fallen woman.
