Jester: You speak truly. Having found room as the moon vanishes, the darkness seems to descend from the palace.
Hero: (Walking around) This is our house. Vardhamānaka! Vardhamānaka!
Jester: Vardhamānaka! Vardhamānaka! Open the door.
(Entering)
Servant: Ah, noble Maitreya!
Hero: Vardhamānaka!
Servant: Ah, young master! Young master, I salute you.
Hero: Bring water for our feet.
Servant: (Walking around) Here is water for the feet. (He washes the hero's feet.)
Jester: Vardhamānaka, wash my feet too.
Servant: With well-washed feet you must roll on the ground. You are wasting water. Or else bring them; I will wash them. (He mimes washing the jester's feet.)
Jester: The son of a slave-girl has not only washed my feet; he has washed my face too.
Hero: Friend,
This sleep, clinging to my eyes, seems to creep over me from my forehead, / unseen and unsteady like old age, which grows as it overcomes human strength. (4)
