एष खलु गर्ता...दन्ततोरणफलम्बो निठति । p. 62. It is written with a short
इ ( as in तां कस्यांचिद्भवनवलभौ Meg. I. 41) or long ई ( as in दृष्ट्वा दृष्ट्वा
भवनवलभीतुङ्गवातायनस्था। Māl. Madh I. 15) where Jagaddhara says—
सौधोपरिकुटरी वलभी विदुः । ) अत्याहितं—अतिशयेन आधीयते तन्निवारणार्थं मनो
यस्मिन् a great calamity; or a rash deed endangering life अत्याहितं
महाभीतिः कर्म जीवानपेति च । Amara. भवेत्—This gives a
hint which prepares the audience for A'ra.'s swallowing poison
further on in the Act;. see p. 54.
P. 47. नेदृशः—not such i. e. indifferent. The scene opens
while Sām. and Vāsa are conversing. This is a reply to
Vāsavadattā who in her previous speech must have charged her
husband with being indifferent to the calamity that had overtaken
her aunt's husband. विज्ञाय—not only ज्ञात्वा, when he knows very
well. तादृशी न—i. e the sole object of his love. तव पुन &c.—She
means—you have seen how the King has transferred his love
entirely to A'raṇyikā.
यत एव मे प्रत्यक्षं—Sāmkr. means—Because I witnessed it myself
I know what it all really was. Vatsarāja wanted to enjoy a joke
by playing his part himself and telling you in the end how
you could not discover who the real actor was and thus to make
you laugh Had there been a love intrigue he would have taken
care to keep Vasantaka and Manoramā out of the way. Of course
this does not convince the Queen.
हासितास्मि—The Queen puns upon the word हासिता which means
'made to laugh' and 'caused to be laughed at', using it in the
latter sense. लज्जया—Because the King manifested his love for
Araṇyikā so openly. Even her maid-servants knew that she
was no longer loved as before by the King. एतावतीं भूमिं &c.—is
ironical. She means—I have been reduced to such a sad plight.
वासव० says—these are your sweet fancies; what does the King care
for me now ? This she says as प्रणयकुपिता. Similarly Dushyanta
says to Vidu. in the Śāk. मनोरथा नाम तटप्रपाता (V. 10 ).
P. 48. संघट्ट—Collision, close or hard fight. समुदितः—
possessed of ; or rendered more powerful ( lit. elevated, lofty ).
समुदितं कृत्वा &c.—This suggestion of the Vidū. which is ridicu-
lous on the very face is meant to stir laughter. कुब्जवामन &c —
These with the Kirātas (see Rat. p. 36.) formed the usual male at-
tendants of the harems of ancient kings. For their bravery cf.
Rat. II. 3. मासोपवासं—मासमुपवास मासो० Acc Tat. देवी चण्डी—
There is a pun on the word चण्डी which means wrathful and is also
