pp. 37-39 , 27' [ Act III. KING—( Hearing the song the very moment and suddenly going forth) Commendable, princess, commendable ! How charming the singing, how charming the playing (on the lute) ! For, Distinctness has now been attained here (in this performance) by the Vyañjana mode of playing (on the lute) in all its ten parts; this laya (tempo) here, distinguished by its three varieties of quick (allegro) intermediate (moderato) and slow (adagio) has been clearly marked in three ways; all the three pauses, Gopuchcha' and the rest, have been accomplished in due order: and the three modes of playing on instruments have been properly exhibited. (10) A'RANY.—(Clasping the lute rises from her seat and longingly looking at the King) Preceptor, I bow to you. KING—(With a smile) May you have that which I wish for you ! KA'NCH.—(Pointing to A'RANYIKA's seat) The preceptor should please sit just here. KING—(Having sat down) Where should the Princess sit now ? KA'NCH.—(With a smile) The Princess has just now been complimented by you with commendation of her skill. So she deserves to share the seat of the preceptor. KING—Let her sit here; she deserves (to occupy) half of the seat. Princess, sit down. (A'RANYIKA' looks at KA'NCHANAMA'LA'). KA'NCH.—(Smilingly) Princess, sit there. What is wrong in this ? (A'RANYIKA' sits down bashfully). VA'SAVA.—(Blushingly). The subject-matter has been added to by your reverence. I did not, at all, sit on the same seat with my husband at that time. KING—Princess, I wish to hear again. Play on the lute.
