lower lip not much quivering you heave sighs without
cessation; you do not give a reply, but remain with
your face hung down in deep meditation: your
suppressed anger greatly pains me like a hidden stroke
(i. e. wound caused by it). (3)
My beloved, be pleased.
VA'SA.—You are surely very happy. Why do you now
torment an afflicted person? Rise, who is angry here?
SA'MKR.—Get up, sire; what is the use of this?
Quite different is the cause of her affliction.
KING.—(In haste.) Revered lady, what is that other
cause?
(SA'MKRITYA'YANI whispers it in the ear.)
KING.—(Laughing.) If so, away with sorrow. I too
knew it. But I did not say (anything about it) thinking
that I should greet the Queen after the purpose had
been accomplished. Otherwise how could I remain un-
concerned in this Dhriḍhavarma matter? So several
days have elapsed since tidings about it reached (here).
This is the state of things there.
With his outward territory overrun by our forces
led by Vijayasena, and his power destroyed, the
accursed Kalinga, rendered helpless, has been forced
to seek protection from the rampart after having at
once entered his fortress. (4)
And him, Kalinga, thus situated—, rendered powerless
by our attack as described above, with the activities of
his warriors and servants decreasing day by day, and
having his entire army routed as his elephants, horses
and men are falling so as to be destroyed—, you will hear
before long, O revered lady, as being either captured
or slain in the battle, when in a day or two his fortress
is levelled down from all sides by our forces. (5)
SA'MKRIT.—Princess, I told your ladyship, at the
earliest, that Vatsarāja would not remain without
making a counter move.
VA'SAVA.—If so, that is gratifying to me.
