The Mistress of Pushpavatika secretly approved, yet her beautiful face remained as calm as ever. Taking a casual step forward, she recited the second riddle. So said the Mistress of Pushpavatika: "O wise Princess, you have answered my first riddle." "But from the stars to the abyss, many inexplicable secrets still exist in the world."

"One may only bow down and worship Vaana of the heavenly spirits — no arrogation, deception, or trickery is permitted." "If one dares to imitate the forbidden arts, only calamity awaits at the edge of divine knowledge." |
