the marriageable age and hence he is always in search
of a suitable match for his daughter. He sends for his
queen and after her arrival opens the subject of the
marriage, stating that marriages are to be entered into
after considering the question from all its aspects. Some
noise is heard behind the curtain and the queen feels
anxious about her daughter, who had gone to the public park.
Kau帽j膩yana, the minister, enters the stage dilating on the
worries and dangers of his high office, and approaches

investigations to be made in connection with the young
man and resumes the question of Kurangi's marriage,
He seeks the advice of the ministers as to what steps he
should take in regard to the messenger from K膩艣ir膩ja,
and Bh奴tika advises to act as it best suits the time and
occasion. Kau帽j膩yana, however, mentions that out of
the numerous suiters, K膩艣ir膩ja and Sauv墨rar膩ja only were
related to the royal family, being the brothers-in-law of
the king himself; so in the choice between the two, the
