King Dusyanta, holding a bow and arrow and being driven in a chariot, enters the scene, in pursuit of a deer. The chariot picks up speed, and the king prepares to shoot, when suddenly an offstage voice warns him that the deer belongs to the hermitage and mustn’t be killed. Vaikhanasa, a forest-dwelling ascetic, reminds the king that his job is to defend the oppressed, not to harm them. The king duly reins in the chariot and drops his weapon.
