Snigdha then somehow concealed her fear and, smiling a bit dryly, said, "Oh, come on, you you! Yes, I will address you as 'tumi' from now on go, Boudi! But how will you display your miraculous power over me like that using your magical strength, let me hear? Leave it, leave it, I do not want to get into all those fights and dirty words at all go! So, listen attentively now to the actual useful work for which I walked all this way with so much trouble!"
Snigdha quickly opened that massive bundle in her hands and held it open before the prison light. The light of the torches fell upon the expensive silk clothes and shimmered brightly. Flattering her deeply, Snigdha said, "Look at this, Boudi! Choosing carefully from my cupboard, I have brought so many thoroughly beautiful, jewel-encrusted, shiny, and expensive royal clothes only for you go! Without being angry with me anymore, why don't you take all these beautiful garments into your own hands one by one! How many more days will you spend inside the dirty cell of this jail wearing a single dirty, tattered, colorful skirt, tell me? Take all of these; you will wear a new expensive dress one by one every day inside this jail and display your beauty! And once these become old, I will bring new royal clothes from the royal palace again and completely fill up this cell of yours go, Boudi! You take these!"
Witnessing this act of flattery and the temptation of expensive clothes from Snigdha's mouth, the Tantrik roared out in a massive shout in a single moment! Slamming both her hands violently upon the iron bars, she uttered in an extremely fierce voice, "O you devilish and conspiring girl Snigdha! What you have come to do in front of my cell this early morning with a bundle of expensive clothes in your own hands—I, being this Tantrik, have discovered it completely clear in a single second through my miraculous mind-reading magic, re! What had you thought in your own mind, re, wicked girl—that if you sat far away from me in the inner sanctum of the royal palace, I would not be able to read the conspiracy of that crooked mind of yours even a little bit through my magic, huh? O foolish girl, wherever you may stay, I can read every single dirty move of your mind exactly to the letter through my magic! I have already completely read all the plots of your mind!"
Contorting her face a bit crookedly, the Tantrik pulled the bundle of clothes from Snigdha's hand into her cell with a sudden jerk. Looking at the clothes, she smiled very mysteriously and said, "Be that as it may, re, Snigdha girl—since you have brought such highly expensive and thoroughly beautiful clothes for me with so much effort, this greedy Tantrik Boudi will never reject this gift of yours! Give them, give all the clothes to me! Since you have given me these expensive gifts—I will certainly make a massive arrangement to fulfill those cherished desires of your mind through my miraculous magic! But engrave one massive truth very well inside that devilish head of yours, re, Snigdha girl—by showing the temptation of all these expensive clothes, you will never be able to bring this miraculously empowered Tantrik Boudi into the palm of your hand! I will never become a puppet of your hands and dance at your beck and call, re, wicked girl, keep this in mind!"
Seeing all the conspiracies of her mind hatched from a distance get leaked exactly like that from the Tantrik's mouth—Snigdha became thoroughly frightened in a single moment, and the skin of her back turned completely ice-cold with fear! But the very next moment, when she heard that the Tantrik had accepted her clothes and promised to fulfill the desires of her mind—Snigdha's crooked heart floated away once again in a massive flood of joy! Folding both her hands, she pleaded in a thoroughly fake, imploring manner and said, "Oh, Boudi! You truly possess massive miraculous powers go! A thoroughly massive mistake was made by me that I harbored such a dirty thought in my mind to bring you into the palm of my hand! I will never try to bring you into the palm of my hand ever again go, please forgive me out of your greatness! I was just having a little fun in my mind go, Boudi! Anyway, you now keep these beautiful clothes with yourself with great care. And in return, since you said from your own mouth that you will fulfill my desires—then please grant me three massive boons right now through your magic let me see! That is, so that the three biggest desires of my life get fulfilled in a single moment, give me those boons! I will now speak of those three desires one by one before you, you just say yes!"
