274 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA मा मा मानद माति मामलमिति क्षामाक्षरोल्लापिनी सुप्ता किं नु मृता नु किं मनसि मे लीना विलीना नु किम् ॥३१०॥ क्वचिन्न गुणो न दोषः । यथा तिष्ठेत्कोपवशात्प्रभावपिहिता दीर्घं न सा कुप्यति स्वर्गायोत्पतिता भवेन्मयि पुनर्भावार्द्रमस्या मनः । तां हर्तुं विबुधद्विषोपि न च मे शक्ताः पुरोवर्तिनीं सा चात्यन्तमगोचरं नयनयोर्यातेति कोयं विधिः ॥३११॥ Mā mā mānada māti māmalamiti kṣāmākṣarollāpinī Suptā kim nu mṛtā nu kim manasi me līnā vilīnā nu kim’.

Might she have flown to the heavens ?—Her heart bore deep affection towards me. Even the demons could not wrench her away from before me.—And yet she has passed completely beyond the range of my vision. What a process of fate !’
