Dear Patrick,

You will find it on p. 75 of H. D. Velankar's edition (https://www.dropbox.com/s/wo9fbo3umeymv7g/k%C4%81lid%C4%81sa-vikramorva%C5%9B%C4%ABya-ed_velankar.pdf?dl=0). It occurs as a stage direction. Velankar discusses this term, along with the other curious and/or textually problematic aspects of the fourth act of the play (where this term occurs), on p. lxxxvi of his introduction: “mallaghaṭī involved the use of earthen pitchers (like the Garbā in Gujarāt).”

Dear Friends,

MW lists

\textbf{mallaghaṭī}    f. a kind of pantomime

as mentioned in the Vikramōrvaśīyam.

Does an e-text exist? It does not appear on GRETIL.

I have downloaded a pdf of the Sanskrit from archive, though I have no idea where this term is mentioned. Does someone more familiar with this play know its location?

I don't know much about this play. Do I correctly presume it is a pantomime of wrestling?

Thank you.

All the best,
