95 After hearing K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a’s challenge, Vi\u015b\u0101kh\u0101 pulls Lalit\u0101 back, and stands before K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a to gently offer a suggestion:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
96 “Hey K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a! If someone loses a dear object, it is best that they approach someone whose job it is to find lost things, like a detective. Then surely, you’ll succeed. But you won’t achieve your objective by acting in this ugly and aggressive manner.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u1e6c\u012bk\u0101: Just when the situation is about to get out of hand, clever Vi\u015b\u0101kh\u0101 ushers in a new rasa-tara\u1e45ga – wave of flavor. Acting as a mediator, she pulls Lalit\u0101 back and keeps K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a at bay. Everything is done with cool equipoise. “Look, K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, you’re not one to act heedlessly; you’re the talented and highly qualified Vraja yuvar\u0101ja. What advice could I possibly give to you? But, as a friendly well-wisher, just consider my suggestion: Try to remember for a moment where you dropped your Va\u1e41\u015b\u012b. Perhaps, with a detective’s help your objective could be reached.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
97 Campakalat\u0101 comments: “Oh Vi\u015b\u0101khe! Who would stoop to become K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a’s detective? Certainly, they’d be greedy for heavy remuneration. But why would K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a spend so much to recover a worthless piece of bamboo?”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
98 Tungavidya replies, “Oh Campakalate! You don’t know what’s at stake. Listen to my verdict: This Va\u1e41\u015b\u012b is K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a’s all-in-all (sarvasva-dhana). So, what would K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a not offer in return for it? He’d give a fortune!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
99 However, try to understand what will happen. When the thief is caught by the detective’s good council- first K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a will reclaim his flute- but the detective’s reward will be plundered from the thief’s personal property. This is the usual policy!”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
100 Vi\u015b\u0101kh\u0101 says, “Oh K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47aji! Being the flute’s owner, please tell us how you’ll punish the thief and reward the detective? I’m asking for your own welfare.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
101 K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a answers, “Vi\u015b\u0101khe! Whoever recovers my flute will receive the flower and jeweled garlands on my body, a piece of karamarda fruit, plus a magnet and many other amenities.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u1e6c\u012bk\u0101: These words all have a double meaning. Here our vidagdha Madhava is saying that he will embrace, kiss, mar the breasts and give all types of other conjugal pleasure (surata-sukha) to the damsel who supplies information leading to the arrest of the culprit! The jewel and flower garlands will be given with an embrace. The words kara-marda mean “rubbing with the hands,” and a magnet is called cumbaka-ma\u1e47i, meaning “a kissing jewel.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
102 “Next I’ll punish the offender by tying her in the ropes of my embrace and escorting her to the niku\u00f1ja-jail house. And once we arrive, I’ll plunder the jewel of her youth from her two jugs after confiscating all her clothes and ornaments!”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
103 Vi\u015b\u0101kh\u0101 answers, “Oh Gopendra-nandana! Your reward and sentence are most befitting. So, as you’re not the least bit miserly, surely you’ll get your flute back.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
104 But only Kundavall\u012b knows where your flute is. This is the information that I’ve gathered. Thus, you can reward Kundalat\u0101!”\u1e6c\u012bk\u0101: To sidestep K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a’s amusing charity, and the scorn of her co-sakh\u012bs, Vi\u015b\u0101kh\u0101 Sundari transfers the reward to Kundalat\u0101.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
105 Then she playfully teases Kundavall\u012b, “Oh sakhi! Your fortune is awaiting! Just tell your cousin where the flute is and collect your reward!”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
106 After thus joking, Vi\u015b\u0101kh\u0101 whispers something in Kundalat\u0101’s ear, but R\u0101dh\u0101 understands her intent and slips the flute back to Tulas\u012b.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
