pp.-19-20. 14 [ Act II.
with her upper garment, in alarm) Friend—Indīvarikā,
save me, save me. These horrid bees will, indeed, as-
sail me.
VIDU.—Oh friend, your wishes are fulfilled. Before
that daughter of a born slave comes, you too, being
silent, approach her. She, on her part, knowing
Indīvarikā to be coming from the movement of feet
indicated by the sound of water, will just cling to you.
KING.—Bravo, friend, bravo! Your advice is oppor-
tune. (He approaches ARAṆYIKĀ).
A'RANY.—(Gesticulating the hearing of the sound of foot-
steps) Indīvarikā, come to me quickly, come to me
quickly. I am harassed by these wicked bees. (Clings
to the KING).
(The KING clasps her at the neck. ĀRAṆYIKĀ, removing
her upper garment from her face and without seeing
the KING acts looking at the bees.)
KING.—(Keeping off the bees with his upper garment).
O you, give up this dispiritedness (depression of
spirits); O timid one, these bees, drawn by their liking
for perfume light on the lotus of your face; if again
with your long eyes agitated through fear you will still
diffuse the beauty of a bed of blue lotuses, how will
they leave you?
ARANY.—(Exhibiting flurry on seeing the KING). How
now! this is not Indīvarikā! (Leaving the KING and
moving aside in alarm). Indīvarikā, come quickly, come
quickly; protect me.
VIDU.—Lady, when you are protected by Vatsarāja,
able to protect the whole world, you call out for the
maid-servant, Indīvarikā?
(The KING repeats—O you, give up &c.).
A'RANY.—(Looking at the KING with longing and
bashfulness, to herself). This is the great king to whom
I was given (betrothed) by my father. In the right
place was my father's preference, indeed!
