Courtesan—Having offended by the trespass of entering this unpermitted ground, I appease the noble sir with my head.
Hero—If so, then I too, having offended by treating you like a servant through a mistaken assumption, appease you, my lady.
Jester—O! Like two undisciplined bullocks struggling over a cart, they torment each other! Whom shall I appease now? Well, I shall appease Radanikā. Radanikā! Be appeased, my lady, be appeased!
Hero—My lady! I am at your command. What does your affection require?
Courtesan—(To herself) One ought to ask for something pleasant. It would surely be uncivil to stay here on a first meeting after coming by chance. So I will do this. (Aloud) If the noble sir is pleased with me, let this ornament of mine remain right here. Wicked men pursue me for the sake of the ornament. Protected by the noble sir, I also wish to go home.
Hero—She speaks appropriately. Maitreya! Take it.
Jester—I have no desire to.
Hero—Fool! Take it.
Jester—As you command. Bring it, my lady.
(The courtesan takes off the ornament and gives it to him.)
Jester—(Taking it) Radanikā! You take this gold ornament. Wear it on the sixth and seventh days; on the eighth, a day of no study, I shall wear it.
Maidservant—(Laughing) Then the young master will have leisure as he expounds the scripture! Let the noble sir hand it over. (Taking it, she exits.)
Hero—Who is there? A torch, at least.
Jester—O! Like a courtesan, the torch has run out of oil.
Hero—No need for a torch. (Looking) The blessed moon, the lamp common to all people, has risen. For indeed,
the moon rises, pale as a moist date,
a friend to young maidens, a lamp for the king's highway;
its pale white beams, amid the mass of darkness,
fall like streams of milk upon waterless mud. (29)
