lution, when I have not been burnt to death by the fire of
separation from my sweet-heart ? 16.
Vásava—Alas ! My lord has launched in this at the words
of mine, an unfortunate creature. Then, let me also follow him.
Jester—(Going round and approaching) I shall lead the way
of Your Ladyship.
Vasubhuti—What ! Then the King of Vatsa has precipi-
tated himself into the fire ! After having witnessed the cruel
fate of the Princess, it is fit for me to offer my body also
to the fire here.
Bábhravya—( With tearful eyes ) O King, why have you
thus imperilled needlessly the race of Bharata ? ( lit :—
why have you caused the dynasty of Bharata to tremble in the
balance ? ) Or what is the use of lamenting ? Let me show the
proof of my fidelity.
King—(Gesticulating as if his right arm was throbbing)
How can I expect the result of this (throbbing) under the
present circumstances ? (Looking forward with joy and
anxiety) Ah ! Here is Ságariká standing beside the fire. Then
I shall just console her.
(Enter Ságariká in chains)
Ságariká—(Looking around) Alas ! Alas ! The blaze
encompasses me on all sides ! Today the god of fire will
put an end to all my sorrows.
King—(Approaching hastily) Oh, my dear ! Why are you
still indifferent ?
सागरिका—( राजानं दृष्ट्वात्मगतम् ) कहं अज्जउत्तो ! ता एदं
पेक्खिअ पुणोबि मे जीविदासा संवुत्ता । ( प्रकाशम् ) भट्टा !
परित्ताहि । (क)
(क) कथमार्थपुत्रः ! तदेतं प्रेक्ष्य पुनरपि जीविताशा संवृत्ता । भर्तः, परित्रायस्व ।
