“MADHUKARIKA: With reverence and care, I made an altar for the golden ashoka and now I must inform the queen that her command is done. (Moving around) Oh, I hope fate takes pity on Malavika. For though the queen was upset with her, hopefully she’ll be kind and forgiving now that the ashoka is blooming. Now where’s the queen? (Looking around) Ah, here’s the hunchback Sarasaka, one of the queen’s closest attendants. He’s leaving the courtyard holding a cloth-covered box stamped with a red lac seal.... I’ll ask him.
Enter Sarasaka as described.
MADHUKARIKA (approaching): Sarasaka! Where are you going?
SARASAKA: Madhukarika, I’m going to give the brahmins versed in the Vedas their daily alms. I’ll hand this over to the royal priest.
MADHUKARIKA: What for?
SARASAKA: Ever since she heard that the army general had appointed young Prince Vasumitra to guard the sacrificial horse, the queen has been making an offering of eighteen gold pieces to worthy brahmins to ensure his good health.MoreLess
