Mallika-Makaranda
The general statement anfaati FTT' at once reminds one of Bhāravi's statement : fafater: 3 Patay:' (Kirāta 1.37-commencing with SATA as a arqet fag).
af FSTETTrafg ugat fa=TTIFIT:-- "If it be the peculiar or proper duty of a family or caste (start=a duty or custom peculiar to a family or caste) then we have nothing to say.” (gffa: fazlaart:' this idiom reminds one of 'वाचस्ततो मुद्रिताः' in the stanza opening with "अत्युच्चाः परितः Entfa forzy:" and cited in Kuvalayānanda. P.62 A Peal's words "fega...sfazi u 7 IT!” remind us of the words of सागरिका:-हिअअ समस्सस समस्सस । मणोरहो वि दे एत्ति भूमि ण गदो । (रत्नावली II immediately following the verse fa qfaat etc.)
The context demands that the play-wright should have given the stage direction ( आत्मगतम् ) before the words “हियय' etc.
The reading referaqa' does not seem to be very happy. Probably the original reading might have been lag . This conjecture finds support in the play "Kaumudi” (of our own author) 3tanaga 1979 gait SAI (p. 36). In the Uttararämacarita (II. 24.a) we have a reference to as's in 375:-'aca: geare 4387 nyerya:'.
37 and 37 both mean the same thing: A respectful offering or oblation to a god or venerable person. The ingredients of this offering are :
आपः क्षीरं कुशाग्रं च दधि सर्पिः सतण्डुलम् ।
यवः सिद्धार्थका चैव अष्टाङ्गोऽर्घः प्रकीर्तितः ।। This eightfold ‘argha', however, does not include 'phala' (fruits). P.63 gourg quia--( 3784 for 376 ) A happy or auspicious day.
HOT ata qe -this convention would explain the repetition.
The data fara' in the iwo plays 'Kaumudi" and "Mallika' has many items in common and the language too is remarkably identical at a number of piaces. P.64 V.:6 [verybody already comes to develop the states of mind leading to things that are to happen in future. Knowing this (truth) the high-souled ones do not get angry with the evil-doers.
V.17 Just as there is an illusion that the lake is dried up because of whirl-winds (storms) or (its use by) the whole community or the rays of the hot-rayed sun even so in summer too there is such an illusion.
