The parrot addresses Khujasta at the beginning of the forty-second night, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot)

As the sun sets on the forty-second night Khujasta reproaches Tuti, accusing him of keeping her away from her lover. Tuti responds by telling Khujasta a story about a merchant’s son who similarly received wise advice from a talking parrot. By the time the story ends, it is too late for Khujasta to visit her lover.
