Ságariká. So my affection still more overpowers me (Re-
presents the state of love-sickness).
Susangatá. (Catching hold of Ságariká's hand) My friend,
be consoled. I shall collect some lotus-leaves and lotus-stalks
from yonder lake and come back presently. (Exit and brings
some lotus leaves and lotus-stalks, forms a bed with the former
and makes bangles with the latter and then throws some leaves
upon Ságariká's bosom.)
Ságariká. (Enough, enough) my friend, take away these
lotus-leaves and stalks; there is no use of these. Why are you
taking trouble for nothing ?—
(My) attachment is towards a person attainable with diffi-
culty; (my) bashfulness (nervousness)is very great; my self is
under the control of another; my love is very painful (or un-
equal). O my dear friend, ( under the circumstances ) death
alone is my best refuge. 1 ( Faints )
