Vīraka. I will.[Exit.

Chandanaka. [Looks about him.] Go on, driver, go on! If anybody asks you, just say "The cart has been inspected by Chandanaka and Vīraka." Mistress Vasantasenā, let me give you a passport. [He hands Aryaka a sword.]

[105.11. S.

Aryaka. [Takes it. Joyfully to himself.]

A sword, a sword! My right eye twitches fast.[70]
Now all is well, and I am safe at last.24

Chandanaka. Madam,

As I have given you a passage free,
So may I live within your memory.
To utter this, no selfish thoughts could move;
Ah no, I speak in plenitude of love.25

Aryaka.

Chandanaka is rich in virtues pure;
My friend is he—Fate willed it—true and tried.
I 'll not forget Chandanaka, be sure,
What time the oracle is justified.26

Chand.
