Rasarnavasudhakara 3.494

3.494

atha bhayam-
smṛtaṃ bhayaṃ tu nagara-śodhakādi-kṛto daraḥ ||

Now, fear (bhaya):
Fear is regarded as the dread produced by city-inspectors and the like.

3.494.p1

281a

3.494.p2

yathā tatraiva prahasane (ānanda-kośa-nāmani) jainaḥ-aho arājako' yaṃ viṣayaḥ yat nagara-parisarāśrita-tapasvināṃ dhanaṃ coryate (ity udvāhur ākrośati) |

As in that very same farce (named Ānandakośa):
The Jain—"Oh! This region is lawless, since the wealth of ascetics residing on the outskirts of the city is stolen!" (Raising his arms, he shouts.)

3.494.p3

nagara-rakṣakāḥ-aye kim apahṛtaṃ dhanam | kiyat (iti taṃ paritaḥ praviśya parisarpanti |)

City guards—"Hey, what wealth was stolen? How much?" (Entering and circling around him.)

3.494.p4

arūpāmbaraḥ-dhik kaṣṭam | nagara-śīghrakāḥ samāyānti | (ity ūrdhva-bāhur oṣṭha-spandanaṃ karoti | mithyā-tīrtho gaṇikām ākṣipya samādhiṃ nāṭayati | niṣkaccha-kīrtir eka-pādenāvatiṣṭhamānaḥ karāṅgulīr gaṇayati) ity ādau jainādīnāṃ bhaya-kathanād bhayam |

Arūpāmbara—"Fie, what misery! The city constables are arriving!" (He raises his arms and his lips tremble. Mithyātīrtha pushes aside the courtesan and acts out profound meditation. Niṣkacchakīrti, standing on one foot, counts his fingers.) In this and other moments, fear (bhaya) arises from describing the fear of the Jain and the others.
