Princess asks her beloved to help drive the creature away.
Mauktika said, “It comes here every day at this time and troubles me. Please do something to make it go away.”
The foolish creature overhears and misunderstands their words.
Hearing this, the foolish creature thought, “Oh! So, there is another being like me who also comes here every night to take the princess away.
