Neither Hira nor Kunda slept: Kunda was kept awake by her sorrow; Hira by the mingled happiness and trouble of her thoughts.

But whatever her thoughts were she did not give them words--they remained hidden.
Oh, Hira! Hira! you have not an evil countenance, you too are young; why this vice in your heart?
Why did the Creator betray her?
Because the Creator betrayed her, does she therefore wish to betray others?
If Hira were in Surja Mukhi's place, would she be so deceitful?
Hira says "No!" But sitting in Hira's place she speaks as Hira.

People say all evil that occurs is brought about by the wicked.

Wicked people say, "I should have been virtuous, but through the faults of others have become evil." Some say, "Why has not five become seven ?" Five says, "I would have been seven, but two and five make seven.

If the Creator or the Creator's creatures had given me two more, I should have been seven." So thought Hira.
Hira said to herself: "Now what shall I do?
Since the Creator has given me the opportunity, why should I lose it through my own fault?
On the one side, if I take Kunda home to the Dattas, Kamal will give me the necklace, and the _Grihini_ also will give me something.
