atha khaṇḍa-cūlikā-
raṅga-nepatha-saṃsthāyi-pātra-saṃlāpa-vistaraiḥ | 191
ādau kevalam aṅkasya kalpitā khaṇḍa-cūlikā |
praveśa-nirgamāprāpter iyam aṅkād bahir-gatā ||

Now, the partial curtain-speech (khaṇḍacūlikā):
Constructed solely at the beginning of an act through extended dialogue | 191
between characters stationed on stage and characters behind the curtain, it is khaṇḍacūlikā; / because it involves no entrance and exit [of both sets of characters], this stands outside the act.
