Language: English

4.p2

Chamberlain.
I, who issue commands for the seraglio, who watch for trippings at every step, now, weak through old age, make my resemblance to a king perfect by handling a "danda."

4.p2.n1

We have here a pun, as the word danda-níti means both "punishment and policy" and "the handling of a staff."
