Scene: Queen Dharini is nursing her injured leg and is attended upon by the Parivrajika. Vidushaka pretends he is bitten by a serpent when he was plucking flowers for the Queen. For the treatment, Physician Dhruvasiddhi asks for a snake object for an healing procedure. The unsuspecting Queen hands the snake ring. Then King is called upon on an false message of urgent business by the minister and leaves.

Scene: By showing the signet-ring the guard, Mālavikā and Vakulãvalikã were set at liberty. King goes to meet Mālavikā and Vidushaka mounts guard outside but falls asleep which is observed by the passing guard and reports it to Queen Iravati. Iravati goes there in hope of finding the King but finds Mālavikā, Bakulavika and the King – and knows about the whole scheme. While the King is in a fix as to what to do or say next, they hear the news of Princess Vasulaksmi’s accident. They depart. Mālavikā hopes that the Asoka would blossom with in five days and have the kindness of the Queen – which it did.

Act V.

Interlude: (The success fo Virasena's expedition against the Vidarbha king is announced.)

Scene: In the presence of the King, the Queen, Mālavikā, and others, two captive maid-servants brought from the Vidarbha expedition are introduced, who at once recognize Mālavikā as the missing sister of Madhavasena. The minister of Madhavasena, Sumati in the confusion of Madhavasena's capture, took flight with Mālavikā and his own sister. But Sumati was attacked by highwaymen while on his way to Agnimitra's capital, and Mālavikā and Sumati's sister were separated. Sumati’s sister turned into Parivrajika and attached herself to Dharini’s court. Meanwhile, Mālavikā was secured by Virasena and sent to Dhaini as a gift. Parivrajika recognizes Mālavikā, but did not give out the identity of Mālavikā as Mālavikā was prophesied to remain for a year as a servant and then be married to a suitable husband.

It is now proposed to bestow one-half of the kingdom of Yajnasena (the King of the Vidarbhas) on Madhavsena. News is also brought of the victory of Agnimitra's son Vasumitra who was employed by Agnimitra's father Puspamita to guard his sacrificial horse.

The Queen on knowing all these and her promise to reward Mālavikā, gives her to the King and gladly consents to their union.

After this happy termination of the course of the royal love, the play ends with the customary Bharatavakya which here takes the form of an expression of general peace and happiness among the King's subjects.
