Analysis of Mukha Sandhi
The main act is introduced with the information鈥�
迟补迟补岣� pravi艣ati j墨vamantr墨 vij帽膩na艣arm膩
(鈥渢hen enters 痴颈箩帽腻苍补 艢补谤尘腻, the minister of the king and hero 闯墨惫补鈥�).
As he enters, his exclamation (v.16) that while he lives none can overpower 闯墨惫补, forms the 补峁単补 called 鲍辫补办峁辫补 as it lays down the bija of the play, which is necessary for the final result.[1]
While going to the king's palace, the minsiter meets 顿丑腻谤补峁嚹� on the way and gets all information about the enemy鈥檚 plans from her. Here the war with 驰补办峁腻 being imperative for 闯墨惫补鈥檚 evolvement gets confirmed and the sandhy补峁単补 here is 笔补谤颈办谤颈测腻.[2]
The minister then meets the king and the queen on the balcony of the king's palace. After a detailed discussion the royal couple repairs to 笔耻峁囜笉补谤墨办补辫耻谤补 to procure Rasa and Gandhaka from lord 笔补谤补尘别艣惫补谤补. By this, the final aim of 闯墨惫补鈥檚 attainment of Bliss becomes established. This juncture is called Yukti.[3]
