\nAct Three <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/b> <\/p>\n

\n
\nSCENE I <\/font><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nHermitage of the Saint Bharat in Heaven.
\nGalava and Pelava.<\/i><\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tG<\/font>ALAVA <\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nPelava, thee the Sage admitted, happier
\nChosen, to that great audience in the house
\nOf highest Indra \u2014 I meanwhile must watch
\nThe sacred flame; inform my absence. Was
\nThe divine session with the acting pleased ?<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tP<\/font>ELAVA <\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nOf pleased I know not; this I well could see<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nThey sat all lost in that poetic piece<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nOf Saraswatie, "Luxmie’s Choice" \u2014 breathlessly<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nIdentified themselves with every mood.<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nBut\u2014<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tG<\/font>ALAVA <\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nAh, that but! It opens doors to censure.<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tP<\/font>ELLAVA<\/font><\/p>\n

\nYes, Urvasie was heedless, missed her word.<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tG<\/font>ALAVA<\/font><\/p>\n

\nHow? how?<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tP<\/font>ELAVA <\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nShe acted Luxmie; Menaka
\nWas Varunie; who asking, "Sister, see,
\nThe noble and the beautiful of Heaven,
\nAnd Vishnu and the guardians of the worlds.
\nTo whom does thy heart go mid all these glories?"<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage \u2013\u2013 951<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nUrvasie should have answered ‘Purushottam,’
\nBut from her lips ‘Pururavas’ leaped forth.<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tG<\/font>ALAVA
\n\t<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nOur organs are the slaves of fate and doom!
\nWas not the great Preceptor angry ?<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tP<\/font>ELAVA <\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nYes;<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nHe cursed her, but high Indra blessed.<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tG<\/font>ALAVA <\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nWhat blessing?<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tP<\/font>ELAVA
\n\t<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\n"Since thou hast wronged my teaching and my fame,
\nFor thee no place in Heaven" \u2014 so frowned the Sage.
\nHeaven’s monarch marked her when the piece was ended,
\nDrooping, her sweet face bowed with shame, and said,
\nWith gracious brows, "Since thou hast fixed thy heart
\nUpon my friend and strong ally in war,
\nI will do both a kindness. Go to him
\nAnd love and serve him as thy lord until
\nA child is got in thee and he behold
\nHis offspring’s face."<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tG<\/font>ALAVA
\n\t<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nO nobly this became
\nIndra; he knows to value mighty hearts.<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tP<\/font>ELAVA
\n\t<\/font>(looking at the Sun)<\/i><\/font>
\n\t<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nLook, in our talk if we have not transgressed
\nOur teacher’s hour for bathing. Galava,
\nWe should be at his side.<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tG<\/font>ALAVA
\n\t<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nLet us make haste.<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nThey go out.<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n
