ŚAKĀRA: Oh, this is the maidservant of that poor caravan-leader's son, that fellow Cārudatta; it is not Vasantasenā! Well done, Vasantasenā, well done! Making use of the darkness, Master was tricked along the way, and I too was tricked by that deceitful, cunning woman! A terrible thing has indeed been done!
VIDŪṢAKA: Stop right there! This is not proper!
VIṬA: O great Brahmin, this folded-hands gesture is the entirety of my apology!
VIDŪṢAKA: Let it be, let it be. You are not at fault. Having been appeased, it is I who am at fault here.
ŚAKĀRA: Master, you are truly terrified of that poor caravan-leader's son, that fellow Cārudatta!
VIṬA: Truly, I am afraid.
ŚAKĀRA: Why, Master? Why?
VIṬA: Because of his virtues! Behold, sir:
He has been emaciated by the entreaties of people like me; there was no one who was not adorned by his riches.
Like a great lake dried up by the summer heat, he has dried up only after removing the thirst of men. (26)
