Kirthidhar, The Saintly King
43
"Is all this true ?" And there appeared on the face of Sukoshal simultaneously sorrow, anger, agitation and eagerness.
"But why did she do so ?”
“Do you want to know why she has done such a thing ?"
"She has acted in this manner out of the fear that if you see him you too would become a Sanyasi and go away with him." And she began to weep bitterly.
King Sukoshal thought for a while; and then went out of the palace hurriedly. His horse was ready at the gate. Without a moment's delay, he mounted the horse and set off.
