(4.165) Vāsavadattā | Embracing Ratnāvalī | Sister, take heart, take heart!
(4.166) The King | What! She is the daughter of Vikramabāhu, ruler of Siṃhala, born of a noble race!
(4.167) The Jester | Looking at Ratnāvalī, to himself | I said it from the very first: common folk certainly do not possess such distinction.
(4.168) Vāsavadattā | Stretching out her arms in tears | Oh, come! Now, my dear sister, show your sisterly love!
(4.169) Vasubhūti | Long-lived lady, take heart, take heart! Indeed, your elder sister is in sorrow; embrace her!
(4.170) Ratnāvalī | Reviving, glancing sideways at the King, to herself | Truly, I have offended the queen; so I cannot show my face. | She remains with her head lowered.
(4.171) Vāsavadattā | Aside | Noble lord, I feel ashamed of this cruelty of mine; remove her bonds.
(4.172) The King | With joy | As the queen says. | He releases Sāgarikā.
(4.173) Vāsavadattā | Noble lord, minister Yaugandharāyaṇa has made a villain of me for all this time, since, though he knew, he did not tell me.
Then enters Yaugandharāyaṇa.
(4.174) Yaugandharāyaṇa
Just as, at my word, the queen endured separation from her husband,
so by me was she brought into sorrow through providing the lord with a wife;
this attainment of the sovereignty of the world by the master will bring her joy,
yet in truth I am unable from shame to show my face. || 83 || (4.20)
Or rather, what else can be done? Such is the vow of devotion to one's master, acting without regard even toward those who are most worthy of respect. | Looking around | Here is the lord; I will approach him. | Approaching | Victory, victory to the lord! Lord, forgive what was done by me without informing you.
