Analysis of K膩mala (Wife of 笔腻峁囜笉耻)
The dramatist very cleverly depicts this character 碍腻尘补濒腻 only through the dialogues of her personal attendants, in the interlude of second Act.
Chardi, maid of 碍腻尘补濒腻 reports, that 碍腻尘补濒腻 in accordance with her role as minster 笔腻峁囜笉耻鈥檚 wife, has sent the five 厂惫腻蝉补蝉, friends of 碍腻蝉补 to help him; she has also planned to fetch the wives of 厂惫腻蝉补蝉 to her palace (II.7):

Thus the play-wright depicts the character of 碍腻尘补濒腻 as a very understanding and able wife of 笔腻峁囜笉耻 (avoiding her direct participation).
