VIII

The Dark Room. The King and Sudarshana

King

Do not be afraid—you have no cause for fear. The fire will not reach this room.

Sudarshana

I have no fear—but oh, shame has accompanied me like a raging fire. My face, my eyes, my heart, every part of my body is being scorched and burnt by its flames.

King

It will be some time before you get over this burning.
