usual. There can be no question about the order and regularity,
and the festive rejoicing too is plain enough: there is no
difficulty so far. But where is the King? Have you seen him?
Just tell us that.

JANARDAN. What I want to say is this: you know from your
experience that there can be chaos and anarchy even if a King be
present: but what do we see here?

KAUNDILYA. You are always coming back to your quibbling. Why
can you not give a straight answer to Bhavadatta's question--Have
you, or have you not, seen the King? Yes or no? [Exeunt.]

[Enter a band of MEN, singing]

SONG.

/*
My beloved is ever in my heart
That is why I see him everywhere,
He is in the pupils of my eyes
That is why I see him everywhere.
I went far away to hear his own words,
But, ah, it was vain!
When I came back I heard them
In my own songs.
Who are you who seek him like a beggar
from door to door!
Come to my heart and see his face in the
tears of my eyes!
