Jester: I think unfortunate that I am, I gave it into the thief's hands. (He stands dejected.)
(Entering)
Brahmin lady: Radanikā! Call noble Maitreya.
Maidservant: Noble Maitreya! The young mistress is calling you.
Jester: Lady! Is it me?
Maidservant: Yes.
Jester: Here I come. (He approaches.)
Brahmin lady: Noble Maitreya! Accept this gift.
Jester: This display of giving is indeed unsuited to your circumstances. Whence comes its acquisition?
Brahmin lady: Well, I am observing the fast of the sixth day. A Brahmin must pronounce blessings through all the property of the estate, so that is its acquisition!
Jester: But today is indeed the eighth!
Brahmin lady: A mistake was made through negligence. Today the worship is performed.
Jester: Because of the donation's unsuitability, it looks like pity. (Aside) Radanikā! What shall I do?
Maidservant: (Aside) "What indeed will have to be given to that person?"—the young master is distressed on this account; thinking, "I will place this in your hands and make my noble husband free from debt," the young mistress acts thus. So take this.
Brahmin lady: Because it arose from water, and because of your rarity, the pearl necklace has made the customary courtesy forgotten. Take this. (She gives it.)
Jester: (Taking it) Let all that be. Your ladyship's eyes look as if they have been weeping.
Brahmin lady: They were made to weep by smoke from the temple.
Jester: You are cursed by his honour Cārudatta if you speak a lie!
Brahmin lady: Alas! (She exits.)
Jester: Having guarded her grief with words, she has gone, having betrayed it with tears. (Approaching) Sir! This.
Hero: What is this?
Jester: The fruit of taking a wife from an equal family.
Hero: Does the Brahmin lady take pity on me?
Jester: It looks that way.
Hero: Shame on myself! Today I am undone:
When I am ruined by loss of wealth, pitied through a woman's wealth,
in truth the man is a woman, and the woman, in truth, is a man! (17)
