care of, is gone. You were my mother and you loved me till the end. After you left, the person whom I looked upon as a mother, respected as a mother, abandoned me. She hit me, robbed me of my hair and locked me in a dark room.”
Thinking of her mother, she again recalls the scene in the forest. She remembers her mother lying in her lap and the stunned face of the charioteer Subhat. He is shocked to see Dharini's face. He thinks, “What is this...? I wanted to make her mine but she left everything and has gone to heaven.” He is in shock, he is horrified...!
A terrified person forgets everything and loses all strength. Fear causes forgetfulness.
He feels he has lost everything. In order to make Dharini his own, he left behind all the wealth and jewels at the palace. Now, he has lost her and is left with nothing either.
This is another truth of life - the person for whom you aspire to do a lot, just leaves you and goes away.
Sitting in the dark room, Vasumati is thinking about her miserable life, comparing her past and her present. In between the thoughts of these two periods, she once again remembers those two unforgettable eyes. In spite of being in immense pain, her lips break into a smile, love overflows from her shattered heart and her heart starts throbbing. Why did this happen?
This is because something very strange happened to her during the period when she was about to enter her youth; during the beautiful spring of her life, she had seen a face, a person with a rare and unique personality, that left a lasting impression on her mind. When she saw the person moving closer, she experienced some unusual feelings, which were very new to her. The strings of her heart started tingling. 'It was as if those two attractive eyes had captivated her through eternity'. There was not a drop of passion in those eyes, instead there was cascade of affection. There was an ocean of pure love in those eyes.
