> *Maid Vaisali- The First Encounter (The Temptation)*
>
> The king sent his most skilled courtesans and maids (led by a clever woman
> frequently named Vaishali in sub-texts) to execute the plan. They waited
> until they knew Sage Vibhandaka had left the ashram to gather roots and
> firewood.
>
> The women stepped off the boat into the woods, dressed in exquisite robes,
> singing sweet melodies, and playing games.
>
> When Rishyasringa saw them, he was utterly fascinated. Because of his
> absolute innocence, he mistook them for a rare, beautiful species of male
> ascetics/sages from another forest.*He invited them back to his ashram
> and offered them simple forest fruits.*
>
>  The Unfamiliar Delicacies-The courtesans realized they had to work
> quickly before the father returned. They politely declined his simple
> food and instead offered him highly exotic sweets, intoxicating drinks,
> and rich delicacies that they had brought from the palace.
>
> They embraced him affectionately, put garlands around him, and played with
> him, overwhelming his senses with perfumes and touches he had never
> experienced.
>
> *Fearing Vibhandaka's sudden arrival, the women suddenly retreated back to
> their floating vessel, pretending they had to go perform their own
> religious vows*.
>
>  The Lovesick Sage and the Final Lure
>
> The departure of these "strange, beautiful sages" threw Rishyasringa into
> deep emotional distress. For the first time in his life, his mind was
> restless, and he completely ignored his evening prayers and meditation
> rituals.
>
> *The very next day, as soon as Vibhandaka left the ashram again,
> Rishyasringa eagerly ran back to the riverbank looking for them.*
>
> The maids were waiting. They smiled and warmly invited him, saying, "*O
> holy one, please step into our nearby hermitage, where we can give you even
> better fruits and hospitality*
>
> ."Driven by curiosity and longing, the innocent young sage stepped
> directly onto the cleverly camouflaged boat. The moment his feet boarded
> the deck, the oarsmen immediately rowed the boat out into the deep currents
> and *travelled down the river toward the capital of Anga. *
>
> The plan worked perfectly:
>
> the absolute moment Rishyasringa's feet touched the dry, parched soil of
> the Anga kingdom, the heavens broke open, and torrential rain poured down,
> ending the years of famine.
>
> Sage Rishyasringa left the ashram completely without informing his father,
> Vibhandaka. He did not get his father's blessings before leaving.
>
> Because Rishyasringa was incredibly innocent and had never seen another
> human being besides his father, he did not realize he was being lured
> away or tricked. He genuinely believed the royal courtesans were a rare,
> beautiful species of "male hermits" from a neighbouring forest.
>
> *I will continue in the next posting. **Interesting discussion about
> Malayalam film Vaisali will also be part of the posting.*
