([Indeed, sharp is the sword, dark as a peacock’s throat; I shall strike off your head or kill you. / Enough of provoking people like us! He who is dead indeed no longer lives! .. 15 ..]
Courtesan: Noble sir, I am a courtesan who lives on the satisfaction derived from the good character of high-born youths.
Viṭa: It is for that very reason that you are courted.
Courtesan: Noble sir, what is desired from this person—my body or my ornaments?
Viṭa: A creeper ought not to be stripped of its flowers. Away with the jewelry!
Courtesan: Then I would not distress myself now.
Śakāra: Vasantasenā! I, the master’s son, am to be loved!
Courtesan: Perish! [or: You are worn out.]
Śakāra: Listen, master, listen! This Vasantasenā tells me, “You are worn out!”
Viṭa: (To himself) The fool does not know he is being cursed! When she says “Perish,” he understands “You are tired.” Moreover,
He mimics words with all his limbs, he babbles whatever nonsense without regard to meaning; / with his improper gait and faltering speech, he is a new incarnation of a beast in the form of a man. .. 16 ..)
