kaṇṭhe kṛttāvaśeṣaṃ kanaka-mayam adhaḥ śṛṅkhalā-dāma karṣan krāntvā dvārāṇi helācala-caraṇa-raṇat-kiṅkaṇī-cakravālaḥ |
dattātaṅko' ṅganānām anusṛta-saraṇiḥ sambhramād aśva-pālaiḥ prabhraṣṭo' yaṃ plavaṅgaḥ praviśati nṛpater mandiraṃ mandurāyāḥ ||

Dragging the gold chain below, broken remnants of which remain on his neck, crossing the gateways with the circle of bells chiming on his playfully moving feet, / striking terror into the women, pursued in haste by the horse-grooms, this monkey, escaped from the stable, enters the king's palace!

3.398.p2

atra nepathya-gataiḥ pātraiḥ prayogānucitasya vānara-viplavādy-arthasya sūcanād iyaṃ madhya-cūlikā |

Here, since an event unsuitable for stage representation—such as the rampaging of a monkey—is indicated by characters behind the curtain, this is an intermediate curtain-speech (madhyacūlikā).
