Scene II: Prince 笔腻峁囜笉耻鈥檚 Secret Chamber: Morning

The main Act begins with the entry of prince 笔腻峁囜笉耻, who has just then woken up. He calls the door-keeper 骋补濒补驳补峁囜笉补 and orders him to bring in all the army chiefs. The thirteen 厂补苍苍颈辫腻迟补蝉^[1] enter with folded hands.

Looking at the worried Prince, they wait upon him to take order from him. 笔腻峁囜笉耻 tells them about the message of their king 驰补办峁�m腻 and asks them to be ready with their army.

To allay the worries, these 厂补苍苍颈辫腻迟补蝉 speak together to 笔腻峁囜笉耻 encouraging him. They enlist the powerful groups of their army and request 骋补濒补驳补峁囜笉补 the door-keeper to bring the army-units before the prince. When they stand before the prince, he asks for their opinions about the impending war. Then, 碍耻峁ａ弓丑补蝉, 鲍苍尘腻诲补蝉, 痴谤补峁嘺蝉, 础谤艣补蝉 and Pramehas tell him about their special features one by one and their prowess. Then 础艣尘补谤颈蝉, Ati艣aras, Gulmas and 笔濒墨丑补s also proclaim their capability. By their speeches, the prince gains confidence.

In the meantime, their spy 碍补谤峁嘺尘奴濒补 who had been to 闯墨惫补鈥檚 camp returns there. 笔腻峁囜笉耻 asks him for details. 碍补谤峁嘺尘奴濒补 reports that on the orders of 笔腻峁囜笉耻 when he entered the 笔耻峁囜笉补谤墨办补辫耻谤补, he saw king 闯墨惫补 having his eyes fixed on one-object, ears listening to Vedic hymns, and offering floral tribute at the holy feet of the Lord 艢颈惫补. There was not a bit of place on 闯墨惫补鈥檚 body which was not protected and hence he could not carry out his master's orders of overpowering king 闯墨惫补.

As he wandered around the city, he found three people (痴腻迟补, Pitta and Kapha). Two of them (Pitta and Kapha) were lame and the third one (痴腻迟补) was carrying them. They were wandering in between three places namely between neck and heart, between heart and naval and below the naval area. Being quite alert, they drove him away at first.

However, after gaining their confidence 碍补谤峁嘺尘奴濒补 told them about his intention to get a place for the night-stay there. All the three consulted each other, and said that since their king was extremely busy with an important new assignment, permission for a stranger鈥檚 night-stay in that place was strictly prohibited. 碍补谤峁嘺尘奴濒补, had to return to report the matter.

On hearing this, 笔腻峁囜笉耻 much enraged, ridicules this effort of the enemies; he declares that inspite of obtaining the desired Rasa and Gandhaka, their power can be mitigated by irregular food habits and that deep devotion and penance towards lord 艢颈惫补 shall also be disturbed.

On being asked by 笔腻峁囜笉耻 about the nature of the citizens there, 碍补谤峁嘺尘奴濒补 states that they are three-folded as 痴腻迟补, Pitta and Kapha. Of them, the popular and powerful one is 痴腻迟补 who is inspired by oil-applications (medicinal oil). Going along with 痴腻迟补 is Pitta who can be controlled by the sweet and tasty preparations. The helpless third one Kapha can also be managed by the intakes of a few of the six tastes with medicinal effect.

Regarding the state of mind of king 闯墨惫补, 碍补谤峁嘺尘奴濒补 says that the brilliant minister 痴颈箩帽腻苍补 艢补谤尘腻's guidance helps the king in his every movement. He very cleverly organizes the day-to-day affairs of the kingdom and the people remain safe and well protected. When enquired about the other minister 闯帽腻苍补 艢补谤尘腻, 碍补谤峁嘺尘奴濒补 reports that he remains silent.

笔腻峁囜笉耻 now decides that it would be easy luring the mind, which is by nature fickle, with the help of four in-born inimical qualities like desire and anger by this process it would be easy to destroy the entire enemy-force.

By then, 碍腻蝉补 comes back from king 驰补办峁�m腻 and whispers the king's message in 笔腻峁囜笉耻's ears. On hearing this, 笔腻峁囜笉耻 asks the entire team to go to their places of duty; he also tells them that the further course of their task would be decided after hearing the plans of king 驰补办峁�m腻. All exit and the Act comes to an end.

Note: There are seven verses in the interlude of which the first six verses are in 碍腻蝉补's speech and the seventh one is spoken by Chardi who switches over to Sanskrit here.

There are thirty four verses in this main Act. The total number of verses in the second Act is forty one.
