(Sri Datta narrates a story about Hemachuda (a prince) and Hemalekha (his wife) to Parasurama. After their marriage, the prince notices that his wife is not as amorous as himself. He then asks her why she is unresponsive and indifferent to the greatest pleasures in life.)
Hemachuda asks:
- Even when I am close to you, your mind seems to be elsewhere; when spoken to, you do not seem to listen.
- When I turn away from you, you remain with your eyes closed; and so you continue whenever I approach you.
- What does not please you cannot please me either. I am always looking to you, trying to please you like a lily looking up at the moon.
- Speak dear! Why are you like this? You are dearer to me than even life. I adjure you! Speak and so relieve my mind.
