This play has been translated from the original Sanskrit and Prakrits by Arthur Ryder. \"ACT I., entitled The Gems are left Behind. Evening of the first day.--After the prologue, Charudatta, who is within his house, converses with his friend Maitreya, and deplores his poverty. While they are speaking, Vasantasena appears in the street outside. She is pursued by the courtier and Sansthanaka; the latter makes her degrading offers of his love, which she indignantly rejects. Charudatta sends Maitreya from the house to offer sacrifice, and through the open door Vasantasena slips unobserved into the house. Maitreya returns after an altercation with Sansthanaka, and recognizes Vasantasena. Vasantasena leaves a casket of gems in the house for safe keeping and returns to her home.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e King Shudraka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438526369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438526362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Book Jungle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.63d","brand":"King Shudraka","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458274537727,"sku":"9781438526362","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_baad4dae-8580-4e10-9655-582b8916db2c.jpg?v=1777403418","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-little-clay-cart-king-shudraka-9781438526362","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
