Act III. ] 30 pp 42-43 VIDÛ —Just think yourself—where is Âranyikâ and where Vasantaka ! VÂSAVA —Manoramâ, having well-secured him just come after me The acting he has arranged I will see now. MANÔRAMA—( To herself) Now life is put in me (Binds Vidu by the hand and then aloud) Miscreant, now reap the fruit of your evil policy VÂSAVA —(Approaching in a hurry) My lord, may this evil be averted ! (Removing with these words the garland of blue lotuses from his feet, ironically—) My Lord should forgive me that I, thinking that it was Manoramâ, caused you to be bound with a garland of blue lotuses (ARANYIKA stands, having moved away in fear) KING —(Rising suddenly and seeing MANORAMA , and VIDUSHAKA, to himself) How am I discovered by the Queen ? ( Acts being abashed) SÂMKRITYÂYANI—(Seeing all, with a smile) How has the representation turned out to be quite a different thing ? This is not the proper place for persons of my sort (Exit) KING—( To himself) Unusual is this way of showing anger I see that reconciliation is difficult to be brought about in this case (Musing) I will do this (Aloud) My Queen, let anger be set aside. VÂSAVADATTA —Husband, who is angry here ? KING—How, are you not angry ? Although your glance is affectionate, still the lustre of your eyes is red, this your choked voice, though there is sweetness in it, falters at every word, your hard breathings, though suppressed, are well observed from the heaving of your full bosom so this your anger, though restrained with evident effort, is clearly seen. (13) (Falling at her feet) Be pleased, my dear, be pleased.
