Actress— Noble sir, it is indeed so (that is, what you have said is correct). Now please give instructions regarding the next duty to be performed. Stage Manager— What else is there to do except to delight the ears (hearing) of the members (of this assembly)? Therefore, sing about this summer season (itself), which has now begun and become fit to be enjoyed (through bathing and similar pleasures). For at this time, pleasant (agreeable) indeed is bathing in water; pleasant are the forest breezes made fragrant by contact with roses (patala flowers); pleasant is the easy sleep that comes in dense (thick) shade; and thus the evenings of these (summer) days become delightful (charming).
