pp. 37-39 , 27' [ Act III.
KING—( Hearing the song the very moment and suddenly
going forth) Commendable, princess, commendable !
How charming the singing, how charming the playing
(on the lute) ! For,
Distinctness has now been attained here (in this
performance) by the Vyañjana mode of playing (on the
lute) in all its ten parts; this laya (tempo) here,
distinguished by its three varieties of quick (allegro)
intermediate (moderato) and slow (adagio) has been
clearly marked in three ways; all the three pauses,
Gopuchcha' and the rest, have been accomplished in due
order: and the three modes of playing on instruments
have been properly exhibited. (10)
A'RANY.—(Clasping the lute rises from her seat and
longingly looking at the King) Preceptor, I bow to you.
KING—(With a smile) May you have that which I wish
for you !
KA'NCH.—(Pointing to A'RANYIKA's seat) The preceptor
should please sit just here.
KING—(Having sat down) Where should the
Princess sit now ?
KA'NCH.—(With a smile) The Princess has just now
been complimented by you with commendation of her
skill. So she deserves to share the seat of the
preceptor.
KING—Let her sit here; she deserves (to occupy)
half of the seat. Princess, sit down.
(A'RANYIKA' looks at KA'NCHANAMA'LA').
KA'NCH.—(Smilingly) Princess, sit there. What is
wrong in this ?
(A'RANYIKA' sits down bashfully).
VA'SAVA.—(Blushingly). The subject-matter has been
added to by your reverence. I did not, at all, sit on the
same seat with my husband at that time.
KING—Princess, I wish to hear again. Play on the
lute.
