Meaning
The sarga ends in āryā metre. The commentary: devoted to her husband, Līlā was grieved in the king's grief and happy in his happiness; when the king was anxious she was anxious; truly she was like his reflection. But when the king was angry she was only afraid, never angry; in that one respect she was not like a reflection. The tale has begun with a perfect marriage, and the next sarga will show what such love fears.
