Rasarnavasudhakara 3.24

English (machine translation) 3.24

Language: English

3.24

"For your thighs—the edge of whose garments is stirred by the breeze, / which captivate your gaze, and which are kinsmen to my eyes—to rest upon for long, / the pair of thighs of mine, whose garments are tossed, / is indeed sufficient, O woman with thighs like an elephant's trunk!"

3.24.p1

(Entering agitatedly) Chamberlain: "Your Majesty, broken! Your Majesty, broken!"

3.24.p2

King: "By whom?"

3.24.p3

Chamberlain: "Your Majesty, by Bhīma (or: terribly)!"

3.24.p4

King: "Ah! What are you babbling?"

3.24.p5

Here, by the chamberlain's statement which forms an ambiguous reply, there is an indication of the future breaking of Duryodhana's thighs; hence this is the third dramatic indicator, named ambiguous reply (śliṣṭottara).
