acceptance of Anangamala who was one of his important courtesans, matured by the insult he had during the marriage of Gandharvadattā...[ordered the men around him to bring Jivandhara to him].)
Kc.
sangad anangamālāyā vi jayac ca vanaukasām viņāvi jayataś casya kopāgnih sthäpito hrdi //
(The union of Jivaka with Anangamala, his victory over hunters and his victory in the viņā (lute) competition, made the inflamed anger in [Kāşthangara's] mind.) 16. Jivandhara's thought when Kasthāngāra ordered his men to kill him.
Cc.
inn uyir avanai unnum ellainál vantatillai ennaiy ik kirumi kont en rölanai ninai ppal enrana
("The time has not come to drink the sweet life of his. What can be gained by killing these worms? 3 I shall think of my friend." Thus he said.) Gc.
...kim ebhir niş phalam nihataiḥ. nāsidati guru janādistaḥ kāşthángäravadhasamayaḥ iti sähasāya samnahyamānam ātmānam nivarya sudarśananāmno devasya sa smara.
('What is gained by killing there people? The suitable hour advised by my teacher to kill Kāşthāngara has not come.' Saying tbus, he controlled himself who was prepared for a rash deed and thought of the celestial Sudarsana.) 17. The description of the state of mind of Jīvāndhara when he was rescued by Sudarsana from the hands of the servants of kāşthangara who wanted to kill him.

(Civakan with lofty and stone-like muscular shoulders, full of golden jewels, was neither distressed when he was imprisoned by Kattiyankāran who wore jewels casting flickering rays, nor happy when released by Cutancañan who wore beautiful dangling garlands. He, with his heart unaffected, considered them as the fruits of deeds in previous births.) Kc.
svāmino na vişādo vã prasado va tada' bhavat / kim tú pūrvakytam karma bhoktavyam iti mānasam 1/6
(The lord was neither happy nor distressed, but he thought that the fruits of deeds done before should be experienced.)
