THE DARK CHAMBER
47

Surangama

You can meet others in the lighted rooms: but only in this dark room can you meet your lord.

Sudarshana

No, no—I cannot live without light—I am restless in this stifling dark. Surangama, if you can bring a light into this room, I shall give you this necklace of mine.

Surangama

It is not in my power, O Queen. How can I bring light to a place which he would have kept always dark!

Sudarshana

Strange devotion! And yet, is it not true that the King punished your father?
