________________ 172 Prakrit Verses in Sanskrit Works on Poetics Chapter VIII : Kåvya-Prakāśa. 1. You said, O, mother, that there are, indeed, no household provisions at home today. Say then what should be done. The day is not going to stand still (and before long it will be dark). 2. "While winning over the beloved (or fortunate) one every moment, you felt, dear friend, troubled for my sake. You have exactly done what is worthy and fit to be done out of good feeling and affection for me." 3. Look, the female white crane standing motionless and still on the lotus-leaf looks beautiful like a vessel carved out of an oyster shell on a salver of spotless emerald. 4. For translation vide SP S. No. (110.63) supra. 5. O, friend, with a very big jug of water, I have come here on foot in haste; exhausted as I am on account of perspiration and breathlessness due to exertion, I shall rest (here) awhile. 6. Sleeplessness, weakness, anxiety and lassitude accompanied by breathlessness (all this) alas ! affects you also, O, friend, for the sake of me, who am unlucky. 7. At that time you would not look anywhere else—fixing your glance on my cheeks. Now, I am very much the same, and my cheeks are very much the same, but the glance of yours is not the same. 8. My hard-hearted mother-in-law thrusts on me all the household work; it is only in the evening that I find respite for a moment, if at all. 9. It is reported that your husband would arrive today just within three hours. Why are you sitting just like this then ? O, friend, make ready whatever is to be made ready! 10. O, dear, you who are bound to respect the wishes of your elders, what shall I say to you, unlucky that I am ! You are going on a journey today, you may go. 11. For translation vide ŚP S. No. (*14.342) supra.
