Here her beauty is so complete that it captures every gaze. It is significant that the eye "clings" to her without release: perfect loveliness enthralls the eyes against the will. Here is shown the power of beauty, able to enslave the mind — and therefore dangerous for one not established in self-mastery. Thus scripture shows the charms of Tilottama; and her very beauty will become the instrument of fate for the asuras.
