364 रत्नावलो Vásava—My lord, what you say is right indeed ! But how can I expect this much of good fortune ! King—(Aside) Bábhravya, I cannot understand at all how these things happened. Bábhravya—Listen, my lord !— (A great uproar behind the scenes) The fire, assuming the beauty of the golden tops of palaces with its flames and indicating its extreme heat by the scorching of the tops of the closely set trees within the garden, has broken out all on a sudden in the inner apartments where the females are in fright due to scorching, and with its columns of smoke is rendering the pleasure-mountain as black as the clouds laden with water. 14. (All look around in fright) King—How is it ! Fire in the inner apartments ! Alas ! (Rising up hurriedly) The Queen Vásavadattá is then burnt to death ! Alas ! This fire, has broken out here, to make, as it were, the false report of the burning of the Queen which in the past was circulated at Lávánaka, a ( pitiable ) truth ! 15. Vásava—My lord, help, help. King—Oh, how strange ! I have not noticed the Queen, though seated by my side due to extreme haste ! ( Catching hold of her hand and embracing) Be composed, my love, be composed. वासवदत्ता—अज्जउत्त ! मए अत्तणो किदे ण भणिदं ! किं उण एसा क्खु मए णिग्घिणाए इध णिगडे संजमिदा सागरिआ बिबज्जदि । ता परित्ताअदु अज्जउत्तो । (क) (क) आर्यपुत्र, मया आत्मनः कृते न भणितम् । किं पुनः एषा खलु मया निर्घृणया इह निगडे संयमिता सागरिका विपद्यते । तत् परित्रायतामार्यपुत्रः ।
