Serpents :
Unto the Path they have shown, I seek refuge.
Meghamali :
(After recovery) We have new life,
Troubles and travails are over.
The quality of mercy is not straining,
It dropeth as the gentle rain from heaven.
(Music from four Corners)
Stop the old game, Reconstruct the world again. The deaf, the dumb and the weak Seek salvation here and there.
Brighten the corner,
Fill new hopes and new desires. Blith and joy
Replace wretched melancholy.
Scene 3
(Years rolled by. Kamatha was reborn as Meghamali, a spirit of lower order. The two serpents were reborn as king-cobra Dharanendra and his consort Padmavati. Parsva joined the order. His mission was to remove the fear complex in people and to show them the path of love)
(A lonely forest. Parsva in deep meditation)

(Inside) Ha! Ha! Ha! (On the stage)
Kamatha has not forgotten the old insult. He has yet to settle accounts with you. None will save you in this lonely forest. Think of the mischief you played with me. Think of the insults you showered on me.
(Meghamali dances in wild orgy to invoke the winds)
(Sings)
Blow ye wind, blow I say, Blow this man away, Tear him to pieces, Scatter his limbs away.
