(He violently drags the maidservant.)
Maidservant—What are your honours attempting?
Śakāra—Master! I can tell by the tone of voice that this is not Vasantasenā.
Viṭa—She must not be let go. This is Vasantasenā herself.
She is skilled, through her appearances on stage and her training in the arts,
at speaking with a different voice; therefore let her not be released. 24
