Alas, alas!

I have indeed discovered news of our lord! So let me go and inform the queen. \[She walks about.\] > (2.3) Susaṃgatā. Friend Nipuṇikā, where are you going now with your heart distracted by wonder, passing by without noticing me standing right here? > (2.4) Nipuṇikā. What, Susaṃgatā? Friend Susaṃgatā, you have perceived it rightly! This indeed is the cause of my wonder: Today, having learned the art of producing out-of-season blossoming from a holy man named Śrīkhaṇḍadāsa who arrived from Śrīparvata, our lord will make his favorite navamālikā jasmine splendid with an abundance of flowers; and I have been sent to report this news to the queen. But where have you set out for? > (2.5) Susaṃgatā. To look for my dear friend Sāgarikā. > (2.6) Nipuṇikā. I saw Sāgarikā entering the plantain bower, holding a casket, a picture board, and a paintbrush. So go to your dear friend; I too will go to the queen. > \[Both exit.\] > Thus ends the introductory scene. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.udayana.ratnavali.18) - [Next: 20.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.udayana.ratnavali.20.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.udayana.ratnavali~en-mt.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.udayana.ratnavali.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.udayana.ratnavali.19) · Pramāṇa
