Tapati said: "Rise, rise, good fortune to you; it is not fitting for you, O tiger-king renowned upon the earth, to fall into confusion, O tamer of foes." Thus addressed in a sweet voice, the king then saw her, full-hipped, standing right before him, and spoke to that dark-eyed maiden, his soul engulfed by the fire of Manmatha, in speech with faltering syllables.

Here the maiden, even while loving him, calls the king to dignity. It is telling that her first word is not an encouragement of passion but a summons to rise: "it is not fitting for you, glorious one, to fall into confusion" — she cares for his honor more than he does himself. In this is a nobility that, even in love, does not flatter weakness but lifts up the beloved. Telling too is the king's condition — "speech with faltering syllables": passion robs him even of mastery over his own words. So the verse shows that true affection calls one to dignity, while unchecked passion strips it away.
