·PREFACE The Pratijñā-Yaugandharāyaṇa is a play which dramatises the incident of Udayana's elopement with Vasavadattā, referred to by Kalidāsa in Meghadūta and already famous in legendary literature. This edition of the play is based upon all previously published editions and in translating and annotating, I have drawn upon them. Ganapatiśāstri's commentary, Woolner and Sarup's translation, and Dr. Sukthankar's articles on the Bhāsa problem have been liberally laid under contribution, and I here make my grateful acknowledgments to these. I take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude to Dr. N. G. Sardesai, who has undertaken to bring out this publication and lastly my thanks are due to Mr. S. R. Sardesai, B. A., LL. B., the manager of the Samarth Bharat Press, for the very nice printing and get-up of the work. Prabhākara Niketana. Deccan Gymkhana, Poona. } C.R. DEVADHAR, ·INTRODUCTION The Pratijñā-Yaugandharāyaṇa, as the name itself indicates, narrates how the minister Yaugandharāyana enabled his king to escape from captivity and elope with Vāsavadattā, the daughter of his enemy, Mahāsena, the King of Ujjayini. The play very probably derives its plot from the original Bịhatkathā of Guņādhya in Paisāci of which three versions exist; of these, the Kāśmirian version, the Kathasaritsāgara is claimed by its author as faithfully preserving the original. The story is found in the Fryes?, IIIIV Tarangas. The ruse with the famous artificial elephant is there, the scheming and plotting of the two ministers Yaugand barāyaṇa and Vasantaka in the disguises of a madman and a jesting beggar, and the escape on the she-elephant Bhadravati. Yet the differences are many and essential details too. Of minor differences may be mentioned the fact that only two ministers went to Ujjayini, while Rumaņvat stayed behind to look after the kingdom whereas in the drama all three ministers go to Ujjayini. In the play, Dvaipāyana appears in the Rājakula, and after pronouncing blessings on the royal family, vanishes mysteriouly, leaving behind his garb of & madman from which Yaugand harāyana takes his cue; in the Kathā, however, Yaagandharāyaṇa, after going to Pulindaka, the king of foresters and an ally of Vatsarāja, camps a vast army under him, and then proceeding to the cemetery.ground of Ujjayinī, meets a friendly Brahmaraksasa, Yogesvara by name, who teaches him the magic art of changing his form as he liked. There is no reference in the story to the intrigue of Yaugandharāyaṇa of his fight and captivity and of his ultimate release by Mabā.

·(iv) sena, as in the play. The scheme is simple; the rider भाषाढक of the she-elephant भगवती was to be bribed ; the chief of the Mabuts was to be plied with wine ; and then at night, the king who was in the palace giving music-lessons to Vāsavadattā, was to escape with her on Bhadravati and make for the camp of his army in the forest, where Yaugand harāyaṇa would be awaiting his arrival. It is believed that the scene of the aritifici elephant was criticised by Bhāmaha as incredible. But it is not clear if this scene was the subject of the criticism and there is at any rate nothing to prevent the conjecture that the criticism may have been directed against the Bębatkathā and its versions. The passage in question runs thus:- विजिगीषुमुपन्यस्य वस्सेशं वृद्धदर्शनम् । तस्यैव कृतिनः पश्चादभ्यदाचारशून्यताम् ॥ अन्तर्योधशताकीण शालङ्कायननेतृकम् । तथाविधं गजच्छद्म नाज्ञासीत् स स्वभृगतम् ।। यदि वोपेक्षितं तस्य सचिवैः स्वार्थसिद्धये । महो नु मन्दिमा तेषां भक्तिर्वा नास्ति भर्तरि ॥ शरा दृढधनुर्मुक्ता मन्युमद्भिररातिभिः । मर्माणि परिहृत्यास्य पतिष्यन्तीति कानुमा । हतोऽनेन मम भ्राता मम पुत्रः पिता मम । मातुलो भागिनेयश्च रुषा संरब्धचेतसः॥ मस्यन्तो विविधान्याजावायुधान्यपराधिनम् । एकाकिनमरण्यान्यां न हन्युर्बहवः कथम् ॥ नमोस्तु तेभ्यो विद्वद्भयो येऽभिप्रायं कवेरिमम् । शास्त्रलोकावपास्यैव नयन्ति नयवेदिनः ॥ सचेतसो वनेभस्य चमणा निर्मितस्य च । विशेष वेद बालोऽपि कष्टं किं नु कथं नु तत् ॥

·(v) .. There is no doubt that the sera passage AUTOT AA HIET हदो, अणेण मम पिदा, भणेण मम सुदो has its echo in हतोऽनेन मम भ्राता मम पुत्रः पिता मम ॥ but that is not enough : for if this is & quotation by TAE from Pratijñā as Ganapatiśāstri asserts, then the second line, too, viz. HICOT faen etc. ought to be regarded as & quotation—which however is not found in the Pratijñā. Other objections against the view that Bhāmaba had the Pratijñā in his mind are (i) Bhāmaba states that the king was alone, unacco. mpanied by spies तस्यैवाभ्यदात् चारशून्यताम्-this is however not so in Pratijña where the king is accompanied by twenty soldiers विंशतिमात्रैः पदातिभिः सह प्रयातो स्वामी । (ii) It is not true that the ministers. for some reason of their own, did not inform the king of the enemy's deviceatau tesh......of ata arrafa: Fath. As a matter of fact, Yaugand harāyaṇa who had learnt of the trick, was on the point of sending Sālaka to warn the king of the danger, when Hamsaka arrives with the news of the king's capture. (iii) There is no description of warriors shooting arrows शराः दृढधनुर्मुक्ता मन्युमगिरदातिभिः।). So that it is clear that Bhāmaba has some other work in hind rather than our play. It is interesting to note that Vatsarāja and Vāsavadattā, the hero and the heroine, never appear at all on the stage: But this is not surprising, as the vows of Yaugandharāyaṇa form the subject matter of the play, so that Yaugandharāyana and his strategy naturally come to the fore, wbile the lovers stand in the background, although we seem to know them intimately enough through report by others. With regard to the meeting of the lovers, the version given by the dramatist differs from the well-known version. In Act II the conversa ·(vi) .. tion of the king and the queen about their daughter seems to lead up to the traditional incident of the music. lesson, in which Udayana, seated behind a curtain as a music-teacher, scolds his fair pupil, and when taunted by her, lifts the curtain and sees her in all her ravi. shing charms for the first time. When the queen requests that a teacher may be engaged for giving music-lessons to Vāsavadattā, the king replies : " What does she want a teacher for, now when she is about to be married ? Her husband will teach her." The audience naturally think of Vatsarāja as the teacher and the husband. Later when the lute Ghoşavati was brought, the king sent it to Vāsavadattā. The king's attitude towards Vatsarāja changes : his heart softens towards him and he orders that the captive is to be treated with every consideration. We, however, find in Act III that Vatsarāja is in prison-not in the palace as in Act II--his chains clank as he bows before the gods. The princess Vasavadattā goes in an open palanquin to worship at a shrine opposite the prisongate ; and as the palanquin halts for the men to change shoulders, Udayana sees the princess, and the prison-house turns into & garden of delight. The question, therefore, is when were the music lessons arranged ? They can hardly be placed before Act III for in that case they would have been known by Vasantaka and Yaugand harāyaṇa. We must suppose, therefore, that these were arranged between Act III and IV. In fact there is a very big hiatus in the story between these two Acts, and we have to understand the following incidents to have taken place between those two Acts. (i) Yaugand harāyaṇa must have acted upon his plan of ·(vii) releasing the king from captivity by infuriating the elephant Nalāgiri by spells, and herbs and smoke. (ii) Mahāseda, out of gratitude to Udayana who pacifies the elephant, removes him from the prison to his palace (TTTHEUTE fara garante Falaft!). (iii) There the music-lessons are arranged (afteTTEN HETÀ TEA greae fateni afavent Gauge Fach 1). (iv) Udayana and Vāsavadattā must have been secretly married by the Gāndharva rites. (v) And the plan of running away on the sheelephant Bhadravati, while Yaugand harāyaṇa and his secret agents and warriors prevented pursuit by storm. ing the city.gates, must have been fixed up with the concurrence and knowledge of Yaugandharāyaṇa. Surely enough this is too big a gap ; but then only thus can the story be made to appear as coherent. The music-lesson is referred to in स्वप्नवासवदत्तम् ( बहुशोऽप्युपदेशेषु यया मामीक्षमा- 079T I Eat a Franta Albalatlari). So also the marriage of the two in a picture as it could not take place in reality owing to the elopement is mentioned in that play. As for the inconsistency regarding the king's treatment, who is very sympathetically looked after in Act II, but seems to have been clapped into prison and cba. ined and fettered, the reversal may be explained as being due to the influence of Bharatarohaka who does not like that the captive should enjoy the privilege of living in the palace, free and unfettered. With regard to the stanza tá Tå etc. it is either a quotation from Kautilya's Arthaśāstra, or both Kautilya and the dramatist may have taken it from a third source. The verse in question belongs to the floating mass of literature from the past, for which on definite location can be fixed.

·PRATIJÑAYAUGANDHARAYAŅAM (Yougandharāyaṇa's Vows ) A SANSKRT DRAMA IN FOUR ACTS ENGLISH TRANSLATION Act 1 INDUCTION ( At the end of the Benediction, enter the stage-manager. ) May the very mighty Mabāsena, the son of Yugan. dbara (Śiva) preserve (you)-he that was the infant King in name only, but armed with his Sakti, brought victory to heaven's Lord. 1. (Walking about and looking towards the curtain ) Come here, good lady. (Entering) ACTRESS--Here I am, my noble lord. STAGE-MANAGER-Good lady, please to sing some song, so that when the audience will have been pleased with your song, we too, might begin (the perfor. mance of ) the play. What ! my dear lady, what are you thinking of? Won't you sing? ACTRESS-To-day, I saw in my dream that there was some illness in my father's family. I, therefore, desire that my noble lord should send some one to bring word of their well-being. STAGE-MANAGER-All right. I will send some intelligent man, who would do the right thing. ( Behind the scenes ) Are you ready, Salaka ? STAGE-MANAGER-Like this Yaugandharāyana, who is sending a messenger, 2.

·2 YAUGANDHARAYANA'S VOWS (i. 3- a ted, (Exit) End of the Induction (Enter Yaugandharāyaṇa and Salaka) YAUGANDHARAYANA--Are you ready, Salaka ? SALAKA--Yes, your honour. YAUGANDHARĀYAŅA--You have a long distance to go. SALAKA---That is an opportunity for me to serve your honour with greater devotion. YAUGANDHARĀYAŅA--Surely, a strong man, who is devo. will go. For A difficult task should be entrusted to devoted agents, or to such as appreciate the wholesome consequences (of the task.). Whosoever the person entrusted with the task, success or failure depends upon the dictates of fate. 3 Now our lord, who will be going to morrow to Nāgavana which is three woods further off, should be seen by you before he departs. ŚALAKA–Well, your honour, it is your letter, giving the nature of the task, that detains me, YAUGANDHARAYANA-Vijayā ! ( Entering ) VIJAYA-Here I am, your honour. YAUGANDHARAYAŅA-Vijayā, quickly bring the letter and the amulet. VIJAYA-Very well, your honour. (Exit) YAUGANDHARAYANA-Have you travelled on the road ever before ? SALAKA-No, but I have heard it described. YAUGANDHARĀYANA-This, too, is a sign of an intelligent person. Well, we have heard the news that Pradyota wants to deceipe our lord by setting up a blue eleph.

·-1.4) AOT I 3 ant, in the midst of wild elephants. May we hope that our lord will not be overreached? Ah, Pradyota is in mighty awe of our lord ! His vast army has manifestly not availed bim. For Though, it is clear, he has a vast army, yet it is not of one mind; it contains but a small number of bcave warriors; and it lacks devotion to its master. Therefore he seeks guile wbere there is occasion for battle. For the entire army is ( as feeble as ) a wife in the absence of devotion. 4. ( Entering ) VIJAYA--Here is the letter. The queen mother says that the amulets are quickly being gathered from the hands of all the wives. YAUGANDHARĀYAŅA--Vijayā, say to her grace: let there be amulets from the hands of all the wives or only one amulet. VIJAYA--Yes, your honour. ( Exit ) (Entering) NIRMUNDAKA-I hope your honour is well. YAUGANDHARAYANA --How ! It is Nirmundaka. NIRMUNDAKA-Your honour, here comes Hamsaka, who always attends the king, from the king himself. YAUGANDHARĀYANA--What! Hamsaka comes alone ? Salaka, rest a while. You will have to go in all haste or be at ease. SILAKA-As your honour says. (Exit) YAUGANDHARĂYAŅA--Nirmundaka, lead Hamsaka. NIRMUNDAKA--Yes, your honour. (Exit) YAUGANDHARAYANA--That Hamsaka, who never before was away from my master, now comes alone fills me with uneasiness. For ·4 YAUGANDH ARAYANA'S VOWS [i. 5- My mind is now filled with apprehensions like that of a man who returns home from a different country where eager kinsmen await him. So I shall now hear whether he brings good news or bad news. 5. ( Then enter Hamsaka and Nirmundaka ) NIRMUNDAKA-Come, come, sir. HAMBAKA-Where, where is his honour ? NIRMUNDAKA-Here he waits; advance towards him. (Exit) HAMBAKA- Advancing ) I hope you are well. YAUGANDHARAYANA-I hope our king has not proceeded to Nāgavana. HAMSAKA-Well, your honour, only yesterday, the king has gone. YAUGANDHARİYANA-Alas! It is no use, then, sending any one to him. We have been foiled. Now, is there hope, or shall we put an end to our life? HAMSAKA-Well, the master still lives. YAUGANDHARAYANA-To say that he lives is to state that the calamity is not severe. But is the master taken into captivity ? HAMBAKA-Your honour has guessed rightly. The king is in captivity. YAUGANDHARAYANA--What! The king in captivity! Pra. dyota's fortune has helped him to accomplish & mighty task. From now on is established the weakness and failure of Vatsa rāja's ministers. Where in. deed was Rumaņvat, whose wisdom only combats evils which do not exist ? Where was our cavalry? For ·--i. 6] AOT I 5 Such devoted men won over by (the master's ) regard, well-born, who were fit through exercise, and were retained on account of tbeir skill--could it be that they were bought over by the enemy, or lost in the impenetrable woods, or destroyed in battle by overwhelming might? 6. HAMSAKA---Had the master been surrounded by all his warriors, the calamity would not have befallen. YAUGANDHARAYANA--How do you mean? The master was not surrounded by all his warriors ? HAMSAKA--Listen, your honour. YAUGANDHARĀYANA--You are fatigued with the journey Pray, be seated. HAMSAKA-Yes, your honour. ( Sitting) Listen, your honour. When it was still dawn, and the time favou. rable for travelling, our master crossed the river Narmadā by the sandy ford, and having left the queen in Veņuvana proceeded to Nāgavana with but an umbrella for his paraphernalia, and with an army capable of fighting elephant herds, along & path that the deer loved to roam. YAUGANDHARĀYAŅA--Well, proceed. HAMBAKA-Then, when the sun had risen but an arrow's throw up in the sky, having gone just so many leagues, and then after about a league had been traversed-without however reaching the Madagandbīra mountain, we came into sight of a herd of elephants on the bank, all splashed with mud and rugged in appearance like some half-finished stone-work. YAUGANDHARAYANA-What next ?

·6 YAUGANDHARAYANA'S VOWS [i. 6- HAMSARA-Then while our army looked on, and the herd closed up through fear, a foot-soldier who was the cause of this mischief approached our king. YAUGANDHARAYANA--Stay : didn't he say that just a leagae's distance from there, he had seen an elephant, that was blue all over, except its nails and tusks, whose body was covered with Jasmine and Sāla. HAMBAKA-How, your honour knew about that! So the mischief occurred while ( your honour ) was awake. YAUGANDHARAYANA--Ah, Hamsaka, even though a man is awake, fate proves stronger. What next? HAMBAKA--Then having honoured the wicked one with a hundred gold pieces the king said : 'It must be that sovereign elephant named the Blue Lotus men. tioned in the treatise on elephants. So you must carefully watch this herd; I will go with my lute and fetch that tusker.' YAUGANDHARAYANA-But how did Rumaņvat neglect our master at the moment ? HAMSAKA--No, no. With all courtesy the minister said to the king : "It is quite possible that you might capture even the quarter-elephants Airāvana and others. But border districts, being difficult to protect, are subject to imminent peril. And the people living in these border lands are devoid of shame and good breeding. Let us, therefore, put this herd in charge of only our foot-soldiers, and let all the rest proceed. The king should not go all alone. YAUGANDHARAYAŅA--Did Rumaņvat say this to the king in the presence of the attendants ? Even thus I think his devotion to the king is without blame.

·-i. 6) ACT 1 99 HAMSAKA--Then the king dissuaded the minister with an oath touching his life, got down from the elephant "Blue Cloud" and mounting the horse 'Beautiful Red when the sun had traversed less than half his course, with but twenty soldiers, he started forth. YAUGANDHARAYANA-To victory! O, alack, in my admiration I lost sight of the previous incident. Well, go on. HAMBAKA--Then having gone some distance, which seemed double the actual distance, we sighted at a hundred bow-lengths that counterpart of the divine elephant, revealed by its bright pair of tusks sticking out from nothing as it were, as the dark hue of its form was lost in the shadow of the Sāla trees of the samo hue. YAUGANDHARĀYANA--Hamsaka, say rather it was misery (you sighted ). Well, proceed. HAMBAKA--Then the king dismounted from his horse, drew near, and bowing to the gods, took up his lute. Then there came behind us a huge lion that seemed to have one set purpose. YAUGANDHARAYANA--What, a lion ? Well, proceed. HAMSAKA--Then we turned round to find out the lion; and the artificial elephant controlled by warriors under the command of the elephant-driver advanced towards us. YAUGANDHARAYANA--Well, what next? HAMBAKA--Then calling his nobles by their names and the names of the families, the king cheered them. Surely this is Pradyota's trick; follow me. With my valour, I will rob the enemy's more of its un. 66 ·8 YAUGANDHARĀYANA'S Vows [i. 7- 39 fair advantage over us. With these words he entered the ranks of his enemy. YAOGANDHARAYANA--Entered the enemy's ranks? Oh, but that was proper. Mortified at his deception, the high-minded ( warrior ) relied on his courage; or what else would one do who is brave and driven to extremity ? 7. What next? HAMSAKA-Then as if playing with his horse" Lovely White " that obeyed his every whim, hitting with greater fury than he bad ever intended, and exerting himself greatly because the enemies were ever so numerous, all his followers deserting bim in des. pair, protected by me alone-no, no, protected by his own self, exhausted by fighting the livelong day, horse killed by innumerable strokes, he swooned a way towards the dread hour of the sinking sun. YAUGANDHARAYANA-How ! the king swooned away? And then ? HAMBAKA--Then they did outrage to the king's person, binding him like any ordinary fellow with rough creepers of unknown species which they had torn to the best of their power from the nearest thicket. YAUGANDHARAYANA--What, did they outrage the king ? Were handcuffs put in the place of bracelets on bis arms, with their fat shoulders, which with their sinews expanding through exercise, resemble an elephant's trunk-those two arms of his which with their hands make the bow twang by making the arrows fly afar off, fixing them in countless number, arms which do homage to Brahmins, and honour ·--i. 9] AOT I 9 his friends with their embraces, when these feel wearied ? 8. Well, what time did the king recover consciousness? HAMBAKA-Noble sir, when those wretches had gone after inflicting these indignities. YAUGANDHARAYAŅA-Fortunately they could outrage his person but not his spirit. Proceed. HAMBAKA--Then seeing the king revive, those wretches ran in all directions, describing variously the valour of the master by crying "He has slain my brother, he has slain my father, my son, my friend ". YAUGANDHARAYANA--What happened next ? HAMSAKA-And now another strange thing happened : after entreating one another, one resolved to do a dreadful thing : turning the king's face to the South, and rudely grasping bis hair, dishevelled in the heat of the battle, he grimly gripped his sword in his hands, and sprang up with a view to give force to his stroke.-- YAUGANDHARAYANAP-Hold a moment, Hamsaka, the while I get my breath. HAMBAKA-And by his own speed, the brute slipped on the ground which was slimy with pools of blood, and fell down helpless, thwarted in his attempt. YAUGANDHARAYANA--The wretch fell down. Ha, When the Earth is not overrun by foemen, and is free from confusion of castes, then herself protected, she protects her lord in distress. 9. HAMBAKA--Then there appeared on the scene Salankā. yana, & minister of Pradyotu, who at the very outset was stunned with a blow of his spear by our king, and he cried out “Do nothing rash."

·10 YAUGANDHARAYANA'S VOWS (i. 104 YAUGANDHARAYANA--Well? HAMBAKA--Then he made a salute to the king--a behavioar somewhat rare at such a time--and removed all bounds that restrained his body. YAUGANDHARAYAŅA-So my master was released ! Well done, Salankāyana, well done. Surely distress turns even an enemy into a friend! Hamsaka, I feel a bit relieved from misery. Well, what did this good man do next? HAMSAKA--He soothed the king with many courteous words of comfort, and finding that he was too badly wounded to ride, this gentleman had him put in a palanquin and taken to Ujjayini. YAUGANDHARAYANA-So my master was taken away! This was the calamity, This is our disgrace, this is more than was expected even by his enemy. Pradyota's pride puts our king in misery. 10. Now, How shall the king look at him whom erstwhile he ignored ? How shall he, whose every word was law, now listen to words addressed to ordinary men ? How shall be restrain his wrath made impotent by the absence of an object on which to vent it? A prisoner, whether honoured or disgraced, has nevertheless to be humble. 11.

PORTRE 8-What am I to say to the queen-mother? YAUGANDHARAYAŅA--Vijayā, it is thus. PORTRESS--What is that? YAUGANDHARAYANA--This. PORTRESS--Speak, sir, do speak out. YAUGANDHARAYANA--Or rather, it is impossible to sup. press it. Well I shall inform her majesty. Vijayā, compose yourself. (In her ear) It is like this. PORTRESS-Ah! YAUGANDHARAYANA-Remember you are Vijayā. PORTRESS-So I will go, luckless that I am. YAUGANDHARĀYANA--Vijayā do not tell her majesty all at once that our lord is taken captive. One must have regard for a mother's heart, so tender with love. PORTRESS-How, then, may I tell her ? YAUGANDHARĀYAŅA-- Listen, First, one should talk of the evils of war, that will give rise to misgivings (in the mind); when the meaning is dimly perceived, death apprehended and grief grips the heart, then one should reveal the actual facts. 13. PORTRESS-- I have it. (Exit) YAUGANDHARAYAŅA-Hamsaka, why did you not go with the king? HAMBAKA-Sir, I did think of doing me that honour, but Sālaikāyada ordered me to go to Kaušāmbi and report the matter.

YAUGANDHARAYAŅA-He (thus) betrays himself by his conceit, or rather everything looks well, when success crowns all one's undertakings. Well, did the king say nothing to me? HAMSAKA-Yes, sir. As I went round him in respectful farewell, the king, with eyes heavy with tears inside, as if he had many things to communicate, said to me : Go to Yau ... (When half through these words, he stops. ) YAUGANDHARAYAŅA-Speak freely, these are the king's words. HAMBAKA--" See Yaugand barāyaṇa. YAUGANDHARAYANA--Now, don't; did he pass over the entire circle of ministers, and say that only Yaugan. dbarāyaṇa was to be seen ? HAMSAKA-Yes, that is it. YAUGANDHARAYANA-If the king thinks that I should be seen, it is because I had not taken proper precautions, was not worth my master's salt, and made no recompense for the honours bestowed on me by my royal master. HAMBAKA-Ah! YAUGANDHARĂYAŅA--Well, my master will see me another man : whether in the capital of the hostile king, in prison, or in the forest, or in the next world, if death come upon bim, he shall find'me equally devoted; and when I shall have overreached the king who thinks ·-i. 15 ] AOT I 13 himself a victor, my master, regaining has kingdom, shall find me, worthy of praise, by his side. 14. ( Behind the scenes ) 0, alack, our lord ! YAUGANDHARAYANA-That bespeaks the way they soothe their grief as best they may; these females thus proclaim the impotence of ministers. 15. (Entering) PORTRESS--Sir, the queen-mother- YAUSANDHARAYANA-Yes ? PORTRESS-Says- YAUGANDHARAYANA-What? PORTRESS—"This is what has befallen the king of the Vatsa land, such a gallant king surrounded by his friends. What else is to be done but that he must be avenged. So we must honour his friends and deliberate. Now that one, who does not despair in dif. ficulties, nor yield to obstacles, nor despond when tricked, nor abandon his life when suffering reverses, the wise one, who first was a friend of my child, and then his minister, like another son to me, is requested to restore my son to me. YAUGANDHARAYANA-Ab! how brave these words of her majesty so befitting her royal house. I must do her honour for that esteem. Vijayā, water please. PORTRESS--Yes, your honour.( Going out and then entering) Here is water. YAUGANDHARAYANA-Bring it. (Sipping) Vijayā, what did her majesty say? PORTRESS--"My son, bring me my son. -YAUGANDHARAYANA Hamsaka, what did my lord say ?

(Exit) ( Entering ) NIRMUNDAKA--Sir, a strange thing happened. Seeing a number of Brāhmins present at a feast given for the good of the king, a certain Brāhmin dressed like a madman, laughed wildly and said " Eat freely, noble gentlemen, without any misgiving; for prosperity will attend this royal house". And scarcely bad he spoken these words when he vanished from sight. YAUGANDHARAYANA-Is this true ? ( Then enter a Brahmin ) BRAHMIN-Here are peculiar garments, put on by the noble one, and left behind for some purpose of his own. It was the revered Dvaipāyana who came disguised in these garments. YAUGANDHARÄYAŅA-So it was Dyaipāyana who had arrived. BRAHMIN-Yes. YAUGANDHARAYANA--Let us then see them. BRAHMIN-May your honour see them. YAUGANDHARAYANA--How, I am transformed ! Ah, to be sure, I am already by the king's side. It appears these were left behind for my instruction. This madman's dress. donned by the reverend Brābmin, will liberate the king and disguise me. 17.

YAUGANDHARAYAŅA---Well, Wood gives out fire when rubbed, and the Earth yields water when dug; there is nothing impossible for energetic persons; all endeavours in the right direction always bear fruit. 18.

So leave aside the usual treatment given to envoys, and see that he is comfortably lodged. Take care to give him the hospitality due to & guest." Ab, so from day to day are envoys sent by suitable royal families to sue for the hand of the princess; and yet none is either rejected or favoured by Mabāsena. What does it mean?

( Exit ) End of the interlude. ( Then enter king with his retinue ) KING--Kings who are my virtual slaves, bear upon their coronets the dust of the road raised by the hooves of my charger; and yet I am not content, while the king of the Vatsas, endowed with virtues, proud of his knowledge of elephants, does not pay me ho. mage. 3. Badarāyana ! (Entering) CHAMBERLAIN-Victory unto Mabasena ! KING--Is Jaivanti lodged ? CHAMBERLAIN--Yes, lodged and treated with due hospitality KING--You did well, you that ever love to advance the glory of persons of royal lineage. It is proper that all guests should be given an honourable reception. But every one I question about the marriage of my daughter depends upon another's opinion. ( Looking at the chamberlain ) Bādarāyana, I think you desire to speak.

·-ii. 6] AOT II 17 CHAMBERLAIN--It is nothing, indeed. An idea occurred to me concerning this marriage. KING--Do not keep it back, then. This business is every. body's concern. Speak out. CHAMBERLAIN-Mabāsena, this is what I want to say: thus indeed, from day to day are envoys sent by suitable royal families to sue for the hand of the princess, and yet none is either rejected or favoured by Mahāsena. What does it mean? KINI-Bādarāyaṇa, you are right. As I greatly covet the best virtues in a bridegroom, and am 80 fond of Vāsavadattā, I am not able to make up my mind. For, first of all, my mind is set on ( his coming from ) a worthy family; then he must be tenderhearted; for this quality, though soft is yet strong; next beauty of form, not because it is a virtue but for fear of woman ( lest its absence should make & woman hate her husband); and lastly he must possess noble strength : for women do require to be protected. 4. CHAMBERLAIN-With the exception of Mahāgena, it is impossible to find all these qualities in any one person. KING--That is why I am hesitating. To secure a good husband for his daughter gene. rally depends upon the efforts of the father. The rest depends on Fate; and nothing to the contrary has ever been in evidence. 6. Now since a daughter's marriage causes grief to the mother, do please call the queen here. CHAMBERLAINAs Mahasena commands. ( Exit) ·18 YAUGANDHARAYANA'S VOWS ( ii, 6-- KING-Oh! This embassy from the king of Kāśi reminds me of Sālankāyana who has gone out for the capture of the king of the Vatsas. How does it happen that that Brāhmin has not sent us word so far? Although it is true that his mind is set on that favourite sport of his, yet there are all those his ministers who have been greatly exerting them. selves. 6. ( Then enter the queen with her retinue.) QUEEN--Victory to Mabāsena! KING--Please to take a seat. QUEEN--As my lord commands. (Sits down) KING-Where is Väsa vadattā ? QUEEN--She had gone to Uttarā, the lady-musician, to learn to play the Nārada lute. KING--Whence this desire to learn music? QUEEN-On some occasion, she saw Kancanamala practising on & lute and wished to learn it herself. KING-How like a child ! QUEEN--1, too, desire to make a request to Mabāsena. KING-What is it? QUEEN--I desire to engage a teacher. KING--What is the good of a teacher, when she is about to be married ? Her husband himself will be her teacher. QUEEN-Ah! Is it really time for my little girl to go ? KING--Now, now, having always urged me to give her in marriage, how do you feel distressed now !

·-ii. 8) AOT II 19 QUEEN--I do wish to give her in marriage. Yet the thought of parting pains me. To whom is she bei trothed ? KING--I have not yet decided. QUEEN- Not even yet? KING--If a daughter remains unmarried, she causes shame; but when married brings grief to the heart; thus placed betwixt duty and love, mothers find themselves in a sorry state indeed. 7. Vāsavadattā is certainly of an age to wait upon her father-in-law. Here is this other-the noble Jaiyanti, chaplain to the king of Kāśi, arrived on an embassy, today; he tempts me by his character. ( To himself) Well, she says nothing ! Tearful already and agitated, how can she come to any decision? Well, I will tell her. ( Aloud ) Have you not heard that there are kings arrived to seek alliance with us? QUEEN--What need of details? Give her to sach a one that we may not repent it after. KING--How lightly you talk of this very difficult task now, but I will have to listen to your reproaches later. Hence let the queen make her choice. Listen. Our allies, the kings of Magadha, Kasi, Ange, Surā. stra, Mithilā, and Śūrasens-these for various reasons attract me by their virtues. Which of these appears to you to be most worthy? 8.

CHAMBERLAIN--The same. KING-The king of Kaušām bi ? CHAMBERLAIN-Yes, to be sure. KING-The expert wusician ? CHAMBERLAIN-That is what they say. KING-What, the king of the Vatsas ? CHAMBERLAIN--Surely, the king of the Vatsas. KING-What then, is Yaugand harāyaṇa dead ! CHAMBERLAIN-Not indeed, he is in Kaušāmbi. KỊNG-If so, Vatsarāja is not captured. CHAMBERLAIN-Believe me, Mabāsena. KING-I cannot believe your tale of Udayana's capture : one may as well believe the whirling of the Man. dara mountain with the palm of one's hand. For his ·ii, 10) AOT II 81 enemies speak of his heroism in battle, while the stratagems of Yaugandharāyana ring in our ears. 9. CHAMBERLAIN-Be gracious, Mabāsena. I am an old man, and & Brāhmin, too. I have never told a falsehood in Mabāsena's presence. KING-Yes, so it is. Now what favoured messenger is sent by Salaņkāyana ? CHAMBERLAIN-None. The minister has himself arrived with Vatsarāja before him, in the fastest chariot drawn by mules. KING-So he is arrived ! O joy ! To-day let my army rest in comfort, putting aside their armours. From now on, princes will have no need to send spies secretly, This in brief : to-day I am Mahāsena. QUEEN--Has the minister got him here? KING-Yes.

CHAMBERLAIN-He is lodged at the " Auspicious Gate." KING--Go, say to Bharatarohaka, "Let the minister be ushered in with the Vatsa king, after being received with the honour due to a prince. CHAMBERLAIN--As Mahasena commands. KING-Come, a moment. CHAMBERLAIN-Here I am. KING-None is to be prevented from seeing the Vatsa king.

KING-I, too, do not remember to have heard any that gave me such delight, as this capture of the Vatsa king. QUEEN-Is it really the king of the Vatsas? KING-Yes, of course. QUEEN-We have heard of many royal houses seeking alliance with us. But he has sent nobody. KING-Queen, he even disregards the title Mabāsena, what of seeking alliance with me! QUEEN-What ? he disregards! Is he & child or a fool? KING-A child but no fool. QUEEN-What makes him so conceited ? KING-It is the dynasty of Bharata, with its roll of illustrious names of royal sages, -a dynasty which finds mention in the letters of the holy writ, that makes him so conceited; and his hereditary knowledge of music, too, makes him proud. His youth and beauty make him vain. And his people's attachment-sprung from some unknown cause-makes bim confident. QUEEN-These are qualities eligible for & sonin-law. Whose wickedness has produced this disability ? KING-Queen, how do you feel admiration for an an. worthy objeet? Mark.

Ah, what joy it is to enjoy, as one likes, the treasares won in battle! My eldest son Gopālaka is a lover of the science of Government, while Pālaka, the younger, hates music and loves manly exercise. 13. So where would this be properly placed ? Queen, has Väsavadattă taken kindly to the late ? QUEEN-Yes. KING-Well, then, this may be given her. QUEEN-The present of a lute would again make her wild, KING-Let her enjoy herself.

KING-His every glance should be respectfully attended to. Know every pleasure of his from his gestures. Do not tell him stories relating to the battle that is past; while a blessing should be uttered when he sneezes or does anything like that.

·38 YAUGANDHARAYANA'S VOWS (iii. VIDUŞAKA--Because the Vatsa king has another business on band. YAOGANDHARAYANA-How do you mean? VIDUŞAKA-Listen, sirs. BOTEWe are all attention. VIDOŞAKA--On the eighth day of the dark fortnight that is past her ladyship the princess Vāsxvadattā with ber nurse went to offer worship at the temple of the holy Yakşiņi, which is opposite the prison-gate, in an open palanquin, because there is no harm in a young maiden being openly seen; they avoided the high road which was impassable owing to the flood of water from & choked up drain. YAUGANDHARAYANA-What next ? VIDUŞAKA--Then, that very day, with the consent of an officer inside the jail, Sibaka by name, the king was outside the prison gate. BOTE_And then ? VIDUŞAKA--Then while the palanquin was halted for the bearers to change shoulders, he saw the princess as 'fully as he liked. YAUGANDHARAYANA-What next? VIDUŞAKA--Why ask "what next?" Making the prisonhouse his pleasure.garden, he now started the game of love. YAUGANDHARIYANA-Surely the king cannot have fallen in love with her ? VIDUŞAKA--Troubles come in battalions, sir; that is exactly what has happened. YAUGANDHARAYANA--Friend Rumaņvat, com pose yourself. In this very disguise shall we have to pass our old age.

·--iii. 7) AOT III 88 VIDUŞAKA-Sir, and he said to me:"Tell Yadgandharā. yana-I do not like the plan as arranged. Departure being equally the end of our plans, I am thinking of a particular insult to Pradyota. Do not disdain mo as one bent on love. I am seeking to avenge my hu. miliation." YAUGANDHARAYAŅA--Ha, what words for the mockery of his enemies ! What impudent reasoning! How dis. tressing to his friends! The king seeks delights of love at the wrong place and time. For The bare earth, with a strawbed arranged by his own hands, is capable of intoxicating him! The jingle of the fetters in his feet has power to sustain his love ! What person would not be smitten with love, when hearing himself addressed directly as "King" by a limited number of attendants detailed to guard him ? 6. VIDUŞAKA--Sir, we have given evidence of our devotion; we bave exerted our utmost. Let us clean leave him to his fate and retire. YAUGANDHARĀYAŅA-Well, sir, is this Vasantaka speak. ing P O Vasantaka, do not say so. Shall we leave one who is stricken with woo and love, who depends upon his friends and knows not what is proper for the occasion ? 7. VIDUŞAKA--So we shall remain thus till old age. YAUGANDHARÄYAŅA--That will indeed be commendable. VIDOŞABA-It will be commendable indeed if people re. cognized it. YAUGANDHARAYANA-Well, we have nothing to do with the people. We do this for the good of our king.

VIDUŞAKA-Then you must take both of them out, the king from the prison and the princess from the inner palace. RUMAŅVAT--That is what you must consider. YAUGANDHARAYANA-Both of them, you say? Well, this is my second vow. If the king does not take her away, as Arjuna Subb&. drā, or an Elephant a lotas-plant, my name is not Yaugandharāyaṇa. 8. Moreover If I do not carry off that, and that, and that longeyed maid and the king, my name is not Yougandharāyaṇa. 9. ( Listening) Ab, some noise, it seems. See what it is.

Let us break up our meeting. YAUGANDHARAYANA-Nay, not our meeting; but let us break up the ranks of our foes. Let each one do his duty. BOTH-Very well. (Exeunt ambo) MADMAN--Hi ! hi!

Why have you been loafing round here, and why have you not got Bhadrapſthikā inside the palace ? PAGE-BOY-I wander hence, drink here, drink berewith. So don't make such a row. What is to be done ? SOLDIER-Out out that irrelevant prattle. Bring Bhadravatl at once. PAGE-BOY-Let Bhadravati onter, let her enter ! O curse it, I have pawned Bhadravati's goad.

We are the spies of the noble Yaugandharāyana, stationed each at his place of duty. So I will just give the signal to my friends. Here are my friends run. ning about like so many black snakes that have broken loose from restraint. Ho friends ! listen, dear sirs, listen. Let not a new vessel filled with water, consecrated and covered over with Darbha grass, be the portion of that man who fights not in return for his master's salt, but may he go to Hell ! 3. Where is the noble Yaugand harāyana ? Ha! Here comes his honour, the noble Yaugand barāyaṇa. Here is he who grasps & keen, bright sword, has cast away bis madman's guise: his left hand holds a gold embossed leather buckler; he has donned many gar. ments and wrapped his head in & white turban; he thus looks like a cloud with lightening, with the moon slightly showing. 4. Ab la fierce fight has begun. Slaying elephants and their drivers, and warriors together:with their chargers, he dashes awhile with great violence among the mighty host, and now his arm is broken by a blow from the postla-like task of ·miv. 5) AOT IV 39 a giant elephant, and his weapon has slipped away. Yet he does not retreat, but rashes on his foe. 5. O fie! the noble Yaugandharāyaṇa is taken. So I must now be by the side of the noble Yaugandharā. yana. (Exit) SOLDIER-Ab, what is this ? All Kaušāmbi is hero save for the wall and the gateway. Well, I will report the matter to the minister. (Exit) End of the interlude.

SECOND--O fie, nobody listens to me, yell as I may, in this excitement over the abduction of the princess Vasavadattā. Bless you, what say you ? What is the reason for clearing the way?" The noble Yaugandharāyana is taken." How taken ?" you ask. Listen, sirs: just with his sword in his hand, the noble Yaugand barāyaṇa checked the first oprush of the vast bost; but as he drove his sword between the tusks of the elephant Vijayasundars, it was broken. So through the fault of his sword was he taken, and not by any fault of his own. FIRST--Well, you had better be careful, for all Kausambi is here save for the wall and gateway. BOTH-Get down, sir, get down. (Enter Yaugandhardyana borne on a plank-stretcher with his arms bound) ·YAUGANDHARIYANA'S VOWS (iv. 8 YAUGANDHARAYANA-Well, I will get down. Having rescued the Vatsa king from the hands of his enemies, (though) myself caught in battle by the fault of my weapon, I have removed my master's troubles, and so I enter the palace with joy, feeling that I have won. 6. Well, it is easy for those who haven't wives to live in forests. Those who have achieved their heart's desire, find affliction more charming. Death does not breed remorse in those who have stored up merit. For I have not minded enmity, or fear or humiliation, and have accomplished my designs by strategy, selfcontrol and arrows; and having destroyed the glory of my foe and the disgrace of my friends, I have won victory, my king and great renown. 7. BOTH-Make way, Make way, sirs, make way. YAUGANDHARAYANA-Do not drive aside the people who desire to see me Let the brave servants of the king see me dying for my vow of devotion to the king. Let the ambi. tion of those that long for the title of minister, be either destroyed or strengthened. 8. BOTA-Make way, make way. Have you not seen the noble Yaugand harāyana before ? YAUGANDHARAYANA-Seen they have, but not thus. For disguied as & madman, and running about in the streets, my form is not pleasing, but now my work will be seen. 9. ( Entering) SOLDIER Sir, I give you good news; the Vatsa king is captured.

·iv. 12 ) AOT IV 41 YAUGANDHARAYANA-That is not true. Freed long since from imprisonment in the cap. tial of his enemy, and having reached the forests on Bhadravati, how can he be taken captive, when leagues over leagues pass in the twinkling of an eye as he goes ? 10. My good man, did you hear how he was taken ? SOLDIER-Pursued by Nalāgiri, they say, he was caught. YAUGANDHARAYANA-Yes, the elephant can do it, but he was badly handled. A rider can bring out the speed of an elephant by training. Who, now that Vatsarāja has left him, can drive him? 11. SOLDIER-Noble sir, the minister says-the, noble gentle. man should stay in the arsenal; for the place is guarded by men. YAUGANDHARĀYANA-Oh, how ridiculous the direction ! The ministers were sleeping at a time when they should have kept watch on all sides while they held captive that fire--the Vatsa king ; now when the jewel is lost what is the fun in locking the case ? 12. ( Walking round) SOLDIER-Here is the arsenal. Please to enter, noble sir. (Entering) SOLDIER-The minister says--remove the fetters. YAUGANDHARAYANA-Let me have some rest. Evidently Bharatarohaka desires to see me, and I too desire to see Bharatarohaka, His heart troubled by my words so maddened by anger, overmatched by the strategems which I ·42 YAUGANDHARAYANA'S VOWS [ iv. 18mm started, and devoid of any counter-designs ; ignorant of the sound counsels taugbt by the treatises, deceived by superior intelligence, his face downcast from shame like a wrestler knocked out by & counterstroke. 13. ( Then enter Bharatarohaka ) BHARATAROAAKA-Where, where is Yaugandharāyaṇa ? He has carried out his designs by cunning; it is painful to look at him ; how may I reproach him when he has ruined himself for his master's sake? For long he did his work lying low, yet his plans were well directed ; like a snake overpowered, yet resentful, he has raised his head. 14. SOLDIER-The noble Yaugandharāyana is in the arsenal waiting for your honour, BHARATAROHAKA-Well, well. Cunningly outwitted in his ministerial office by the blue elephant, he is now awaiting me to score off that hostile act. 15. SOLDIER-Noble sir, here comes the minister.

BHARATAROHAKA-Ah! What self-esteem of one whose device of an elephant succeeded through trickery! YAUGANDHARAYANA-Through trickery, you say ! But is that proper now? But what of that ruse with the elephant constructed under Mallikā and Sāla trees, and what of our king who was bound and lay on the ground with his arm for a pillow ? Is it then a fraud on the part of my king if through his skill he can subdue an elephant with his lute ? I am but following your lead; and there is no offence in that surely. 17. BHARATAROHAKA-Now, Yaugandharāyaṇa, to take the daughter of Mahāsena as pupil and to abduct her unplighted, without the fire as witness--was this robbery worthy of you ? YAUGANDHARAYANA-Nay, do not say so. My master has indeed married ( her ) thus. Born in the family of the Bharatas, the powerful ruler of the Vatsas, will be give instruction to & girl before giving her the title of wife ? 18. BHARATAROHAKA-Even now Mabāsena has favoured the king. of the Vatsas. Why then does he not consider that ? YAUGANDHARAYANA-Do not say so. For that Nalāgiri obeys his orders is because he obeys the words of the skilled; bence to save his own life, and to give life and glory to his friends was he ( Vatsarāja ) liberated. 19.

·YAUGANDHARAYANA'S VOWS [iv. 19- BHARATAROHAKA-If he was released for the capture of Nalagiri, why was he not bound again? YAUGANDHARİYAŅA-He judged that he was not to be bound for fear of people's reproaches. BHARATAROHAKA-Your honour, who is an adept in the laws of the State, speaks thas. What does the Šāstra say in regard to enemies defeated in battle ? YAUGANDHARAYANA-Death. BHARATAROHAKA-If the Vatsa king deserved death, why did we treat him so well ? YAUGANDHARAYANA-For this consideration that the per. son of ( your ) king was not carried off by him. BHARATAROHAKA–Did your master consider even that as possible ? YAUGANDHARAYANA-Why make any doubt about it? Your king was in his hands, yet our virtuous king spared him. Surely the banner cannot be pulled down without mounting the lord of elephants. 20. BHARATAROHAKA-Well, let that be. But after so many hostile acts against Mahāsena, how did you think of returning to Kaušāmbi ? YAUGANDHARİYANA-What & ridiculous question ! He has gone before your (very) eyes; why talk of the remaining business? Will there be any fatigue in cutting the branches, when one has torn a tree from its roots ap! 21.

The houses I have set alight are still smouldering and so also the hearts of the ministers; and yet I, who deserve punishment, am thus honoured. Death is honour meet for those that offend. 23. ( Lamentations are heard behind the scenes. ) BHARATAROHAKA-What is this noise coming suddenly from the palace-top, like the wail of ospreys attacked by a falcon ? 24. Just find out what that noise is. CHAMBERLAIN--As your honour commands. (Exit and re-enters) This is her majesty queen Angārvati who was about to fling herself down from the palace in the violence of her grief; but Mabāsena said to her this:--Your daughter is married by the law of the warrior caste as enjoined. Why do you grieve on this occasion of rejoicing ? So let us celebrate the marriage of Vatsarāja and Väsa vadattā painted on & picture-board ! Thereat the women are all of a sudden celebrating the nuptial rites, the proper segu. ence disordered by delight, spreading auspicious things, and shedding tears (the while). 25. YAUGANDHARÀYAŅA-So Mahāsena favours the alliance. In that case give me the chalice. CHAMBERLAIN-Please to accept it. (Hands him the chalice.)

These vows are given in I. 16 and III.8 and 9. So the play is named प्रतिज्ञायौगन्धरायणम्. The name may be explained thus:-प्रतिज्ञाभिः ख्यातः, प्रतीतो वा यौगन्धरायणः यस्मिन् ।. The play is also briefly named प्रतिज्ञा--as in प्रतिज्ञानाटिकावसिता of the colophon. I. 1. पातु etc. Such & slipshod doggerel, which weaves together the principal roles of the play-- वासवदत्ता, महासेन, वत्सराज and यौगन्धरायण-by what is technically known as the Mudrālamkāra is to be met with in the following plays of this group :-स्वम, प्रतिमा, and पञ्चरात्र.

This refers to Mahasena. or Kartikeya accepting the leadership of the heavenly hosts and leading them to victory over the demon Tārakāsura. वत्सराजः-- वत्सः बालश्चासौ राजा च।. Since Ganapati, his brother, is called ज्येष्ठराज: in गणानां त्वा गणपतिं हवामहे . ज्येष्ठराजं ब्रह्मणां ब्रह्मणस्पते etc., it is but proper that he is called वत्सराज."-Ganapatisastri. यौगन्धरायणः-- युगन्धरस्य मिथुनरूप- धारिणः शिवस्य अपत्यं पुमान् I.

We have many such aTFTFUTTES in the plays of this group. Cf. sfa A179 III.128-125 where विलासिनी and नलिनिका are talking about the princess' marriage. After the question of the former " Nalinike, when is the marriage to come off ?" somebody behind the stage says Today". Here we find that the word Today" serves as an answer to faconferit's question, though the speaker is quite innocent of it, and is simply stating to some royal officers that the servants of the minister were not in attendance that day at the palace of the princess, as their master, the minister, had set out. So in HTF V. 101-5. These are instances of " Verbal irony ", the dra. matist putting into the mouth of a character remarks which the audience with their fuller knowledge of the facts can interpret in two ways, while the speaker is quite unconscious of any secondary point in his words.

They are already in Ujjayini, have established contact with the king in captivity, and many of their spies and agents in various disguises have wormed themselves into the confidence of the people of Ujjayini and secured positions of advantage. The words used by the three are cryptic and bear two meanings : one which lies on the surface, and the other which is the inner meaning. An old commentary for the HF: only exists which greatly helps to bring out this inner meaning. P. 27. III20. देवउळपीठिकायां etc. Having entrusted my friend (मोदकमल्लकम् = प्रियश्रेष्ठम् ) to वासवदत्ता ( देवस्य महासे. नस्य कुलपीठिकायां वंशमालिकायां अर्थात् वासवदत्तायाम् ) and having borne in mind the messages of वत्सराज (दक्षिणामाषकान् गणयित्वा, वत्सराजदत्तानि प्रतिसंदेशवाक्यानि ज्ञात्वा), I have returned, but do not find यौगन्धरायण here (मोदकमल्लकं न प्रेक्षे-मोदकस्य वासवदत्ताहरणरूपस्य कार्यस्य मल्लकं निर्वहणसमर्थ यौगन्धरायणं मन्त्रार्थ कृतसमयं न प्रेक्षे).

Fortunately प्रद्योत who is satisfied with the capture of वत्सराज (एकमोदक ailea:) does not follow me; nor can the ministers of प्रद्योत who have the brains of dogs (अगतिः कुक्कुराणाम् ) capture tracraut whose intellect is towering like a wall (प्राकारतुल्यस्य अस्य उच्चतया प्रज्ञोलतत्वेन). III23. अक्षतभक्ततया etc. :-Here the पथिकs are the spies and agents of gata who, being satisfied with presents and gifts (अक्षतभक्ततया स्वामिदत्तधनादिसकलभोग्यसमृद्धि- शालितया) showered on them by the king on Vatsaraja's capture, are off their guard, and hence could not have help up यौगन्धरायण (मलोभनीयम् ).

The other and obvious sense of प्रतिहस्तीकृतम्-is स्वहस्तगतं कृतम् ।. . III.27 यद्यप्येष ब्रह्मचारी-अविनयं करोति- This refers to रुमण्वत् (ब्रह्मचारी ब्रह्म चरतीति, श्रमणकरूपः रुमण्वान् ). The sentence is to be understood as interrogative : Is it likely that this रुमण्वत् has betrayed us (अविनयं करोति ) ? The answer is it is most unlikely. III.28 मम मोदकमल्लकः शिवस्य पादमूले-The dear plan of taking वत्सराज and वासवदत्ता ( मोदकमल्लक:) rests with Yaugan. dharayana (शिवस्य पादमूले ). देहि...मोदकमलकम्-Grant, lord, that the plan (मोदकमल्लकः ) succeeds.

Our king ( इन्द्रः) has been captured by the feeble warriors (पादपाशिकैः) शालकायन and others, merely through accident. I will now surprise them with my warriors who lie concealed ( धारानिगलैः...कशाभिः शत्रुसेनाप्रतिरोधकैः विद्युन्मयीभिः विद्युद्भिरिव भतर्कितं आविर्भवन्तीभिः कशाभिः भस्माकं गूढभटैः ), and release my king from captivity ( मेघवन्धन भिद्यते-मेघवज्जगत्रियस्य स्वामिनः बन्धनं भेत्स्यते).
