तृतीयोऽङ्कः 275
কাঞ্চনমালা—দেবী ব্যতীত অন্য কে এইরূপ বলিতে জানে? বরং মহারাজই দুৰ্জ্জন
হউন, কিন্তু তথাপি দেবী যেন না হন। এখন দেখি, আসুন।
( উভয়ের পরিক্রমণ )
Eng. Trans.—Ság. (Looking at the King) Ah! It is the
King himself ! (Joyfully) It is indeed true that seeing him,
desire for life occurs in me again (His sight inspires me anew
with a desire for life). Or that, at least my wish being
fulfilled by a sight of him, I shall happily hang myself to death.
(Aloud) Let me go, my lord ! Dependent as I am, I shall
not get an opportunity like this again to die. You, too,
please do not offend the Queen. ( Again wants to put the
noose around her neck)
King—(Looking with joy) Ah, how now ! It is my
beloved Ságariká ! (Snatches away the noose from her neck)
No more of this sort of excessive daring on your part.
Quickly give up this noose of creeper; and to arrest my
fleeting life twine round my neck for an instant, the noose of
thine arms, oh my beloved ! 17.
(Puts her hands entwined round his neck and feeling the
joy of her touch, —to the Jester) My friend, it rains without
cloud !
Jester—Very true !-- if, however, the Queen Vásavadattá
does not return like a sudden squall !
(Enter Vásavadattá and Kánchanamálá)
Vásava—Oh Kánchanamálá, I have acted very cruelly by
coming away disregarding my husband thus fallen at my feet.
Now I must go personally and entreat him.
Kánchana—Who else but your ladyship can speak in this
strain ? However, rather the King be a knave, but not your
ladyship. So, madam, come.
(Both go round)
