The relation of Gandharvadatta with Citralekha and
223.
also with Pattralekh膩 is disclosed when Citralekh膩 intro-
duces Malayasundari and summarizes the insident about the
224 latter's transportation by the Vidyadharas. And the poet
wants us to note that the account of Malayasundari is cease-
225 227.
228 lessly tragic and is meant to illustrate the inexorability
226.
of the Law of Karma. The moral of the episode of the love-
affair between Malayasundari and Samaraketu has been skill-
fully put forth in so many words in the form of philoso-
phical reflections of Hariv膩hana. While the poet has in-
dicated that the process of reaping the consequences of
evil deeds by Malayasundari is now almost over, as a re-
sult of her worship at Siddh膩tayana and etc., we are still
deliberately left in the dark as to what was that evil deed
for which she was subjected to so much misery. It is later
釒�
on disclosed in the form of Priangusundari's anxiety for
Priya峁僾ad膩 when the former entrusts the care of her tem-
230 ple to the Goddess Sri.
