Prince, Mitrávasu bows to you.

Welcome to Mitrávasu. Take a seat here.

O lady! your brother, Mitrávasu, has arrived.

I am well pleased to hear it.

O Mitrávasu! is Vísvávasu, the king of the Siddhas, well?

He is well. By the command of my father I am come into your presence.

What says his Highness?

I will just hear what salutation has been sent by my father.

My father says, "I have a daughter, by name Malayavatí, who is, so to speak, the very life of all this race of Siddha-rájas. She is presented by me to thee. Let her be accepted."
