आरण्यिके म्वं कुपितेति—Here Vāsa.'s jealousy is well brought
out. In this scene she is represented as ईर्ष्यारूषायिता. Bhāsa does

to be jealous at every step. See Intro. p. 9. आरण्यिका—
णाहं &c.—This was true; see supra note on सदोषमिव p. 40.

treated See Act III p. 79. भवति भय कोदृशी &c.—This

of the Queen, has some point in it from Vidû 's own stand
point. He means—This being the time of the Kaumudī
festival some liberty of action may be allowed to men. And so
my friend acted that way just to see how you would take it
and thus to enjoy the fun Hence the king finds in this a crutch
on which to lean. See śl 14, last line
P. 44. दुर्नयं—ill advised course of conduct, mischievous or
wrong policy, misbehaviour. She says दुण्र्णयं because she

moon of the 8th day of the bright half of a month; cf अष्टमीचन्द्र-
शकलाकार ललाटदेशमुद्वहन्तं Kâd. p. 19, 26. बन्धूजीवसमतां—The बन्धु०
flower is bright red and hence the lip is compared to it; see
supra p. 13, note on बन्धूक. मष्या स्थियते—suffers pain, is oppressed
