_Vardhamānaka._ [_Hears him coming._] Ah, the tinkling of ankle-rings! The lady is here. Mistress, the nose-rope makes the bullocks skittish. You had better climb in behind. [_Aryaka does so._] The ankle-rings tinkle only when the feet are moving, and the sound has ceased. Besides, the cart has grown heavy. I am sure the lady must have climbed in by this time. I'll go ahead. Get up, bullocks, get up! [_He drives about. Enter Vīraka._] _Vīraka._ Come, come! Jaya, Jayamāna, Chandanaka, Mangala, Phullabhadra, and the rest of you! So calm, when the herdsman, slipping his tether, Breaks jail and the heart of the king together? 5 Here! You stand at the east gate of the main street, you at the west, you at the south, you at the north. I'll climb up the broken wall here with Chandanaka and take a look. Come on, Chandanaka, come on! This way! [_Enter Chandanaka, in excitement._] P. 166.5] _Chandanaka._ Come, come! Vīraka, Vishalya, Bhīmāngada, Dandakāla, Dandashūra, and the rest of you! Come quick, my reliables! Work! Now begin! Lest the old king go out, and a new king come in. 6 Search gardens, and dives, and the town, and the street, The market, the hamlet, wherever you meet 7 With what looks suspicious. Now, Vīraka, say, Who saved the young herdsman that just broke away? 8 Who was born when the sun in his eighth mansion stood, Or the moon in her fourth, or when Jupiter could Be seen in his sixth, or when Saturn was resting In his ninth, in her sixth house when Venus was nesting, Or Mars in his fifth?[69] Who will dare to be giving The herdsman protection, while I am still living? 9, 10 _Vīraka._ Chandanaka, you mercenary! I swear on your heart, he's been long out of prison, For the herdsman escaped ere the sun was half risen. 11 _Vardhamānaka._ Get up, bullocks, get up! _Chandanaka._ [_Discovers him._] Look, man, look! A covered cart is moving in the middle of the road; Investigate it, whose it is, and where it takes its load! 12 _Vīraka._ [_Discovers him._] Here, driver, stop your cart! Whose cart is this? who is in it? where is it going? _Vardhamānaka._ This is Chārudatta's cart. Mistress Vasantasenā is in it. I am taking her to the old garden Pushpakaranda to meet Chārudatta. _Vīraka._ [_Approaches Chandanaka._] The driver says it is Chārudatta's cart; that Vasantasenā is in it; that he is taking her to the old garden Pushpakaranda. _Chandanaka._ Then let it pass. _Vīraka._ Without inspection? [101.3. S. _Chandanaka._ Certainly. _Vīraka._ On whose authority? _Chandanaka._ On Chārudatta's. _Vīraka._ Who is Chārudatta, or who is Vasantasenā, that the cart should pass without inspection? _Chandanaka._ Don't you know Chārudatta, man? nor Vasantasenā? If you don't know Chārudatta, nor Vasantasenā, then you don't know the moon in heaven, nor the moonlight.
