Thus all mimic entering the fire.
Then enters Sāgarikā, bound in fetters.
(4.137) Sāgarikā: Alas, alas! Ah, blazing all around, the fire will today bring an end to my sorrow!
(4.138) King: Ah! Here is Sāgarikā close to the fire! Therefore I shall quickly attend to her.
(4.139) Sāgarikā (seeing the King, to herself): What, the noble lord? Seeing him, my hope of life is restored once more! (Aloud) Rescue me, rescue me, my lord!
(4.140) King: Timid one, have no fear!

(4.142) King: ...here is Bābhravya...
(4.143) Bābhravya: Lord, now I have been brought back to life!
(4.144) King: ...this is Vasubhūti...
(4.145) Vasubhūti: May the Great King be victorious!
(4.146) King: ...my friend...
(4.147) Vidūṣaka: Victory, victory to your honor!
(4.148) King (reflecting, conjecturing):
