Scene 16 - Page 2

GRANDFATHER. I have known him now--I have known him through my
griefs and joys--he can make me weep no more now.

SUDARSHANA. Will he not let me know him also?

GRANDFATHER. Why, he will, of course. Nothing else will satisfy
him.

SUDARSHANA. Very well, I shall see how hard he can be! I shall
stay here near the window without saying a word; I shall not move
an inch; let me see if he will not come!

GRANDFATHER. You are young still--you can afford to wait for
him; but to me, an old man, a moment's loss is a week. I must
set out to seek him whether I succeed or not.[Exit.]

SUDARSHANA. I do not want him--I will not seek him! Surangama,
I have no need of your King! Why did he fight with the princes?
Was it for me at all? Did he want to show off his prowess and
strength? Go away from here--I cannot bear your sight. He has
humbled me to the dust, and is not satisfied still!
