रंभोवाच । स मुनिर्न विजानाति कामधर्मं सुरेश्वर । अरसज्ञं कथं देव करिष्यामि स्मरान्वितम्
raṃbhovāca | sa munirna vijānāti kāmadharmaṃ sureśvara | arasajñaṃ kathaṃ deva kariṣyāmi smarānvitam
Rambhā thưa: «Ôi Chúa tể chư thiên, vị hiền sĩ ấy chẳng hiểu đạo lý của ái dục. Ôi thần linh, con sẽ làm sao khiến kẻ không biết vị đời trở nên rung động bởi tình yêu?»
Rambhā
Listener: Indra (Sureśvara)
Scene: In Indra’s court, Rambhā speaks with concern: the sage is ‘arasajña’ (unacquainted with desire’s ways), asking how to kindle love in him; the atmosphere is celestial, strategic, and sensuous yet tense.
Deep detachment makes temptation ineffective; purity of mind can render desire’s usual tactics powerless.
Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra remains the implied setting, as Rambhā is being sent to Jābāli there.
None; it is a dialogue emphasizing the sage’s renunciation and the difficulty of provoking desire.
