manage everything.

P. 183. घुणाक्षरम्—By accidental coincidence, in an unexpected
manner. घुण is a kind of insect that bores into the wood or
paper of its own accord. But sometimes while making such
borings, the hole comes to resemble a letter which the insect
did not actually mean to produce. The resemblance is a fortui-
tous one. Hence the घुणाक्षरन्याय ।
N. B. Kánchanamálá, pacifying Vásavadattá, says that
most prabably the King did not wilfully represent any parti-
cular lady in the picture ( said to be drawn by him ) ; but
while painting, such wonderful resemblance with Ságariká has
occurred through mere chance. So she requests the Queen
not to impute any motive in this matter.
Shloka 20. घटते is proper. N. B. When this is not
anger, the question of conciliation cannot reasonably arise.
अभ्युपगमः—Confession. N. B. The reply ‘I shall not do
this again’ implies the confession of some guilt done before.
The metre is शिखरिणी ।
