their ornaments all thrown aside, disconsolate and sad, cheerless in face,
594. Raised their bodies, without any grace, even as the feeble (little) morning star (or stars of morning); their garments torn and knotted, soiled like the appearance of a robber,

21. With their dress hanging down, and their linen garments soiled, their faces untouched by collyrium and with eyes dimmed by tears; dark and discoloured and destitute of all painting, like the stars in the sky, pale-red with the ending of night;

22. With their feet unstained by red, and undecked by anklets,--their faces without earrings, and their ears in their native simplicity,--their loins with only nature’s fulness, and uncircled by any girdle,--and their bosoms bare of strings of pearls as if they had been robbed.

595. Seeing Kandaka and the royal horse shedding tears instead of the hoped-for return, they all, assembled thus, uttered their cry, even as those who weep for one beloved just dead;
596. Confused and wildly they rushed about, as a herd of oxen that have lost their way.

23. But when they saw Chandaka standing helpless, his eyes filled with tears, and the horse, the noble women wept with pale faces, like cows abandoned by the bull in the midst of the forest.

Mahâpragâpati Gôtamî, hearing that the prince had not returned,
597. Fell fainting on the ground, her limbs entirely deprived of strength,
even as some mad tornado wind crushes the golden-colour’d plantain tree;
598. And again, hearing that her son had become a recluse, deeply sighing and with increased sadness she thought,
’Alas! those glossy locks turning to the right, each hair produced from each orifice,
599. ’Dark and pure, gracefully shining, sweeping the earth when loose, or when so determined, bound together in a heavenly crown, and now shorn and lying in the grass!
600. ’Those rounded shoulders and that lion step! Those eyes broad as the ox-king’s, that body shining bright as yellow gold; that square breast and Brahma voice;
601. ’That you! possessing all these excellent qualities, should have entered on the sorrow-giving forest; what fortune now remains for the world, losing thus the holy king of earth?
602. ’That those delicate and pliant feet, pure as the lily and of the same colour, should now be torn by stones and thorns; O how can such feet tread on such ground!
603. ’Born and nourished in the guarded palace, clad with garments of the finest texture, washed in richly-scented water, anointed with the choicest perfumes,
604. ’And now exposed to chilling blasts and dews of night, O! where during the heat or the chilly morn can rest be found!
Thou flower of all thy race! Confessed by all the most renowned!
605. ’Thy virtuous qualities everywhere talked of and exalted, ever reverenced, without self-seeking! why hast thou unexpectedly brought thyself upon some morn to beg thy food for life!
606. ’Thou who wert wont to repose upon a soft and kingly couch, and indulge in every pleasure during thy waking hours, how canst thou now endure the mountain and the forest wilds, on the bare grass to make thyself a resting-place!’
607. Thus thinking of her son--her heart was full of sorrow, disconsolate she lay upon the earth. The waiting women raised her up, and dried the tears from off her face,

24. Then the king’s principal queen Gautamî, like a fond cow that has lost her calf, fell bursting into tears on the ground with outstretched arms, like a golden plantain-tree with trembling leaves.

608. Whilst all the other courtly ladies, overpowered with grief, their limbs relaxed, their minds bound fast with woe, unmoved they sat like pictured-folk.

25. Some of the other women, bereft of their brightness and with arms and souls lifeless, and seeming to have lost their senses in their despondency, raised no cry, shed no tear, and breathed not, standing senseless as if painted.

26. Others as having lost all self-control, fainting in their sorrow for their lord, their faces pouring tears from their eyes, watered their bosoms from which all sandal-wood was banished, like a mountain the rocks with its streams.

27. Then that royal palace was illumined with their faces pelted by the tears from their eyes, as a lake in the time of the first rains with its dripping lotuses pelted by the rain from the clouds.

28. The noble women beat their breasts with their lotus-like hands, falling incessantly, whose fingers were round and plump, which had their arteries hidden and bore no ornaments,--as creepers tossed by the wind strike themselves with their shoots.

29. And again how those women shine forth, as their bosoms rose up together after the blow from the hand, and trembled with the shock, like the streams, when their pairs of ruddy geese shake, as the lotuses on which they sit wave about with the wind from the wood.

30. As they pressed their breasts with their hands, so too they pressed their hands with their breasts,--dull to all feelings of pity, they made their hands and bosoms inflict mutual pains on each other.

609. And now Yasodharâ deeply chiding, spoke thus to Kandaka: ’Where now dwells he, who ever dwells within my mind?
610. ’You two went forth, the horse a third, but now two only have returned!

31. Then thus spoke Yasodharâ, shedding tears with deep sorrow, her bosom heaving with her sighs, her eyes discoloured with aneer, and her voice choking with emotion through the influence of despondency:

My heart is utterly o’er-borne with grief, filled with anxious thoughts, it cannot rest.
611. ’And you deceitful man! Untrustworthy and false associate!

32. ‘Leaving me helplessly asleep in the night, whither, O Chandaka, is he, the desire of my heart, gone? and when thou and Kanthaka are alone come back, while three went away together, my mind trembles.

evil contriver! plainly revealed a traitor, a smile lurks underneath thy tears!
612. ’Escorting him in going; returning now with wails!

33. ‘Why dost thou weep to-day, O cruel one, having done a dishonourable, pitiless, and unfriendly deed to me? Cease thy tears and be content in thy heart,--tears and that deed of thine ill agree.

Not one at heart--but in league against him--openly constituted a friend and well-wisher, concealing underneath a treacherous purpose;
613. ’So thou hast caused the sacred prince to go forth once and not return again!

34. ‘Through thee, his dear obedient faithful loyal companion, always doing what was right, the son of my lord is gone never to return,--rejoice,--all hail! thy pains have gained their end.

No questioning the joy you feel! Having done ill you now enjoy the fruit;
614. ’Better far to dwell with an enemy of wisdom, than work with one who, while a fool, professes friendship.

35. ‘Better for a man a wise enemy rather than a foolish friend unskilled in emergencies; by thee, the unwise self-styled friend, a great calamity has been brought upon this family.

Openly professing sweetness and light, inwardly a scheming and destructive enemy.
615. ’And now this royal and kingly house, in one short morn is crushed and ruined!
All these fair and queen-like women, with grief o’erwhelmed, their beauty marred,
616. ’Their breathing choked with tears and sobs, their faces soiled with crossing tracks of grief!
Even the queen (Mâyâ) when in life, resting herself on him, as the great snowy mountains
617. ’Repose upon the widening earth, through grief in thought of What would happen, died.

36. ‘These women are sorely to be pitied who have put away their ornaments, having their eyes red and dimmed with continuous tears, who are as it were desolate widows, though their lord still stands as unshaken as the earth or Mount Himavat.

How sad the lot of these--within these open lattices--these weeping ones, these deeply wailing!
618. ’Born in another state than hers in heaven, how can their grief be borne!’

37. ‘And these lines of palaces seem to weep aloud, flinging up their dovecots for arms, with the long unbroken moan of their doves,--separated verily, with him, from all who could restrain them.

Then speaking to the horse she said, ’Thou unjust! what dullness this--to carry off a man,
619. ’As in the darkness some wicked thief bears off a precious gem.

38. ‘Even that horse Kanthaka without doubt desired my utter ruin; for he bore away from hence my treasure when all were sound asleep in the night,--like one who steals jewels.

When riding thee in time of battle, swords, and javelins and arrows,
620. ’None of these alarmed or frighted thee! But now what fitfulness of temper this,
to carry off by violence, to rob my soul of one, the choicest jewel of his tribe.
621. ’O! thou art but a vicious reptile, to do such wickedness as this!

39. ‘When he was able to bear even the onsets of arrows, and still more the strokes of whips,--how then for fear of the fall of a whip, could he go carrying with him my prosperity and my heart together?

to-day thy woeful lamentation sounds everywhere within these palace walls,
622. ’But when you stole away my cherished one, why wert thou dumb and silent then!

40. ‘The base creature now neighs loudly, filling the king’s palace with the sound; but when he carried away my beloved, then this vilest of horses was dumb.
