(cintāṃ nāṭayati)
vidūṣakaḥ---kiṃ bhavaṃ atthavibhavaṃ cintedi. (kiṃ bhavānarthavibhavaṃ cintayati.)
nāyakaḥ---
satyaṃ na me dhanavināśagatā vicintā
bhāgyakrameṇa hi dhanāni punarbhavanti .
etattu māṃ dahati naṣṭadhanaśriyo me
yat sauhṛdāni sujane śithilībhavanti .. 5 ..

(Acts being lost in thought) / Jester: Are you, sir, thinking about the wealth of goods? / Hero: / Truly, I have no grief over the destruction of wealth; / for riches come again in the course of fate. / But this burns me, when the splendor of my wealth is lost: / that friendships grow cold even among virtuous folk.
