प्रियदर्शिका नाटिका (सम्राट हर्षवर्धन - चतुरङ्क शास्त्रीय नाटिका सान्वय सटीक)

Act III. ] 30 pp 42-43
VIDÛ —Just think yourself—where is Âranyikâ and
where Vasantaka !
VÂSAVA —Manoramâ, having well-secured him just
come after me The acting he has arranged I will see
now.
MANÔRAMA—( To herself) Now life is put in me
(Binds Vidu by the hand and then aloud) Miscreant,
now reap the fruit of your evil policy
VÂSAVA —(Approaching in a hurry) My lord, may this
evil be averted ! (Removing with these words the garland
of blue lotuses from his feet, ironically—) My Lord should
forgive me that I, thinking that it was Manoramâ,
caused you to be bound with a garland of blue lotuses
(ARANYIKA stands, having moved away in fear)
KING —(Rising suddenly and seeing MANORAMA , and
VIDUSHAKA, to himself) How am I discovered by the
Queen ?
( Acts being abashed)
SÂMKRITYÂYANI—(Seeing all, with a smile) How has
the representation turned out to be quite a different
thing ? This is not the proper place for persons of my
sort (Exit)
KING—( To himself) Unusual is this way of showing
anger I see that reconciliation is difficult to be brought
about in this case (Musing) I will do this (Aloud)
My Queen, let anger be set aside.
VÂSAVADATTA —Husband, who is angry here ?
KING—How, are you not angry ?
Although your glance is affectionate, still the lustre
of your eyes is red, this your choked voice, though
there is sweetness in it, falters at every word, your
hard breathings, though suppressed, are well observed
from the heaving of your full bosom so this your
anger, though restrained with evident effort, is clearly
seen. (13)
(Falling at her feet) Be pleased, my dear, be pleased.
