Rabindranath was attacked with Dengu and Bisarjan could not be staged on 29th july, 1923. But on
8th Aug , 1923 there was an insertion in Ananda Bazar Patrika, " Rabindranath is well". In response to queries Patrika sent a correspondence to Rabindranath who said, " I was suffering from Dengu fever for 5/6 days. Fever was high at the beginning and there was pain through out my body. At present I am better but I feel weakness."
On the same day Rabindranath wrote to Kadambini Dutta, " There is a remission of my fever, but weakness is embracing through out my whole body. But it will take some time to get relief of my fatigues."
Being free from illness he wrote to Ranu on 8th Aug;
" There is no song, only the instrument is left. I asked Rathi to send the Esraj with Subir. But Rathin did not reply. Perhaps he is thinking that the will be kept there till it is brought by the pull of the music. ...I wrote to your father to fetch you here again. We will be in difficulty if you don't come. I asked Gagan to make Manju ready for Aparna. But that was not done.You know that he does not like any other person to replace you. The father of Subir is going to Banaras today. If it is possible to send you with him, it is well and good. Otherwise, one has to send to fetch you after a week. We have to do rehearsal again for some days. We are sure that you can remember everything but you know the memory of your Bhanu Dada. If we donot do rehearsal for 5/6 days then there may be some gross mistakes."
Advrtisement was given on 14th Aug for the Stage show of the drama;
" Viswabharati Sammilani / for contributing to Viswabharati fund / Bisarjan / Rabindranath himself to act / Empire Theater / Present date / Sat. 25th Aug at 5.30 pm/ Monday, 27th Aug at 5.30 pm / Tuesday, 28th Aug at 5.30 pm. The holders of tickets of
Tuesday 31st July will get entry in 25th Aug
Wednesday 1st Aug...,, in 27th aug
Friday 3rd Aug .......,, in 28th Aug.
Rabindranath again gave a reminder to Ranu,
" I am trying to bring you in time.I asked Kshitimohan Babu who came here, but he replied it is not possible for him to do this. Now there is none who can be relied to fetch you here. I send a telegram to your father today. Let us see the result.at least you should reach here within 19th. I have already forgotten everything. If we do not do rehearsal for days, the result will not be upto our expectation. The audience is very anxious now - they are expecting much. We have to fulfill their desire."
It is expected Ranu had reached in time. But due to her fever she could not perform the drama on the firts day -25th Aug in the role of Aparna. The eldest daughter Manjushree did the role. The following artists played in the respective roles;
Joysingha....Rabimdranath
