Eng. Trans. Ságariká. Oh Susangatá, why have you
left the picture-board ? Somebody may by chance come
across it.
Susangatá. Oh thou safely situated now ! What would
you do now with the picture-board ? This wicked monkey, fond
of rice mixed with curd, has broken open the cage and has
escaped. This clever bird (Medhávini—Sáriká) too is now on
her wings and is going elsewhere. So let us follow her in
a hurry ; or she will repeat in the presence of somebody the
conversation which she has learnt by rote.
Ságariká. Friend, let us do so.
(Both walk round)
(Behind) Hullow ! what wonder ! what wonder !
Ságariká. (Looking) Oh Susangatá, I think that wicked
monkey is coming this way again.
Susangatá—(Looking—with a smile) Oh timid girl, do not
fear. It is our worthy Vasantaka who is the companion of our
lord, the King.
(Enter Vasantaka)
Vasantaka. Hullow ! Very strange indeed ! Bravo, O pious
Shrikhandadása, well done !
Ságariká. (Looks wistfully) Friend Susangatá, this person
is really worth seeing !
