3.375

mā bhūc cintā taveyaṃ mayi sati kuśale duṣkaraḥ kiṃ prayogo
mānin jānāsi kiṃ tvaṃ kim api na viditā cāturī me tvayā kim |
āstāṃ sva-stotra-kanthā kṛtam iha kathaitair bhūta-pūrvaiḥ prasaṅgaiḥ
patnyāhaṃ vaśya-karmā sapadi naṭavidhāv eṣa sajjībhavāmi ||

“Let you not have this anxiety! While I am well, is a performance difficult?
O proud one, do you know anything? Was my skill not recognized at all by you?”
“Let be this patched garment of self-praise! Enough here of telling these stories of past events!
I, who have made my wife submissive, immediately make myself ready for the actor’s craft.”

atra naṭa-sūtradhārayoḥ paraspara-spardhayā sva-sva-prayoga-sāmarthya-prakāśanād adhibalam |

Here, because of the revelation of their respective competence in performance through mutual rivalry between the actor and the stage manager, it is mutual rivalry (adhibala).
