Salutations to Kharapata! Salutations to the gods who roam the night! (He acts accordingly.) Ah, the work is finished. Let me enter then. (Entering) Ah! A lamp is burning. I will retreat for now. Shame! I am indeed Sajjalaka!
A cat in leaping, a wolf in retreating, a hawk in surveying the house,
sleep in gauging the strength of sleeping men, a serpent in slithering,
illusion in altering complexion and body, speech in different regional tongues,
a lamp in the night, darkness in tight spots, the wind on land, a ship upon the water! .. 11 ..
