atha dūtyam-
dūtyaṃ tu sahakāritvaṃ durghaṭe kārya-vastuni ||

Now, mediation:
Mediation is cooperation in an affair difficult to accomplish.

yathā mālavikāgnimitre [tṛtīyāṅke] vidūṣakaḥ-alaṃ bhavado dhīradaṃ ujjhia paridebideṇa | diṭṭhā kkhu mae tattahodīe mālabiāe piasahī baulābaliā | suṇābidāa maha jaṃ bhavadā saṃdiṭṭhaṃ | [alaṃ bhavato dhīratāṃ ujjhitvā paridevitena | dṛṣṭā khalu mayā tatra-bhavatyā mālavikāyāḥ priya-sakhī bakulāvalikā | śrāvitā ca mayā yad bhavatā sandiṣṭam] [3.1 padyād anantaram] rājā-tataḥ kim uktavatī |

As in the Mālavikāgnimitra [in the third act], Vidūṣaka: "Enough of lamenting, having cast away your steadfastness! Her ladyship Mālavikā's dear friend Bakulāvalikā was indeed seen by me, and what was commanded by your honor was made known to her." [After verse 3.1] King: "Then what did she say?"

3.214.p3

vidūṣakaḥ-vijñāpaya bhaṭṭārakamà tathāpi ghaṭayiṣyāmi iti | atra ca bakulāvalikayā mālavikāgnimitrayor ghaṭane sahakāritvam aṅgīkṛtam iti dūtyam |

Vidūṣaka: "'Inform the lord: "Nevertheless I will arrange it."'" And here, because cooperation was accepted by Bakulāvalikā in uniting Mālavikā and Agnimitra, this is mediation.
