अपसारय धनसारं कुरु हार दूर एव किं कमलैः ।
अलमलमालि मृणालेरिति वदति दिवानिश बाला ॥" or, the sentimont of Karuna is highly effective due to the words and short sontences used here in Bhavabhati's verge :

तामेव शान्तमथवा किमिहोत्तरेण ||20 In the same manner, the realisation of Randra, Vira and Adbhuta senti. ments cause blooming and burning 1.e. dipti'.
