সম্ভাবিনি (অনুরূপ আশঙ্কাকারিণি) ! তোমার এরূপ আলাপের প্রয়োজন কি ? সকল
বৃত্তান্ত খুলিয়া বল।
( Enter Susangatá )
Eng. Trans. Susangatá. This is that plantain-bower. Let
me enter it. ( Entering and looking—with surprise ) Ha, here is
my dear friend Ságariká ! But apparently she is so intent upon
painting something, with her mind transported by some great
attachment that she does not notice even my approach. How-
ever, I will keep out of her sight and see what she is painting.
( Approaches gently her back and looking with delight ) How
now, she is drawing the king's (picture) ! Well done, Ságariká,
well done ! Or, the royal female swan leaves not the lotus-
crowded lake to sport elsewhere.
Ságariká. ( With tears ) I have finished drawing his por-
trait ) ; but since my tears are running down incessantly my
sight cannot have a look at him ( in the picture ). ( Raises
her head and while checking the tears sees Susangatá, hides
the picture with her upper garment, with a smile ) How now
Susangatá, my friend, please sit down here.
Susangatá. ( Sitting and taking the picture-board by force )
My friend, who is this person whom you have drawn in the
picture-board ?
Ságariká. The deity Ananga in the festival of Cupid
just commenced.
Susangatá. ( With a smile ) Ah, your cleverness ! but the
picture appears to be incomplete ( wanting in something).
So I shall paint and make ( the god ) accompanied by Rati.
( Takes the brush and gesticulates the drawing of Ságariká
under the pretext of painting the figure of Rati ).
Ságariká. ( Seeing—angrily ) Oh Susangatá, why you have
sketched my likeness here ?
