Excerpt from Vikramorvas¯i: An Indian Drama; Translated Into English Prose From the Sanskrit of Kalidasa
Ha! Why is heard this sudden cry of distress from the beings who ride in their aerial chariots through the sky? (having thought a moment.) Ah! I have it! It is the heavenly nymph, who was born from the thigh of the Muni, the friend of Nara who, returning from visiting the Lord of Kailasa, has been seized in mid-journey by the demon-foes of the gods, and therefore does yonder tr00p of nymphs shriek for succour.
