( NAEKA dances. The MAHARAJA moves his head to the rhythm of the dance. NAEKA going round and round, falls into a swoon; raising her hands, balancing as if she might fall. The MAHARAJA rises from his seat and goes to her, makes a sign to the COURTIERS to leave. COURTIERS and MUSICIANS depart; the MAHARAJA holds NAEKA to his breast. When she opens her eyes; she turns her head and waves her hand towards the door by which the Prince has left.)
