King | Joyfully: As the lady says. [Taking Sāgarikā by the hand, he acts the sensation of touch.]
Vidūṣaka | Ah! You have attained an unprecedented Śrī!
King | Friend, it is true:
She is Śrī, and her hand is a sprout of the pārijāta tree; / whence otherwise does this nectar-fluid fall in the guise of sweat? // 41
Ah, be gracious! Indeed it is not proper to prolong such anger toward your friends.
Susaṃgatā | Friend, you are now being obstinate, who, being thus supported by the hand by the master, still do not let go of your anger!
Vidūṣaka | Here indeed is a second queen, Vāsavadattā!
The King startled, releases Sāgarikā.
Sāgarikā | Susaṃgatā, what shall I do here now?
Susaṃgatā | Friend, let us depart concealed by this row of tamāla trees. [Both exit.]
King | Looking around in surprise: Friend, where is queen Vāsavadattā?
Vidūṣaka | What I meant was this: "She has become indeed a second queen Vāsavadattā by her excessive anger!"
King | Fie, fool!
Just obtained somehow by fate, with evident passion, / she, like a garland of gems [Ratnāvalī], beloved, not yet brought to my neck, has been dropped from my hand by you! // 42
Then enters Vāsavadattā and Kāñcanamālā.
Vāsavadattā | Hey, Kāñcanamālā, how far now is that navamālikā jasmine embraced by my noble lord?
Kāñcanamālā | Mistress, it is seen just beyond this plantain bower. So let the mistress come.
They walk around.
King | Friend, where is my dearest now to be seen?
