General Editor's Preface
In Indian literature Hāla's Gathä kośa, popularly known as Sattasai (Saptaśati or Sapta-Satakam) or Gathāsaptašati, is the oldest and most important among the Kośas (C. first or second century A. D.). It is the most famous and best known of Māhāräştri Kavyús (poetic works). Its value as an anthology is high and it also bears evidence that Māhārāstri literature was once very extensive. Its popularity is attested by the large number of commentaries on it, by its translations in various modern Indian languages, by its use made by Prākrit grammarians and by a large number of quotations from it by theorists in their works on Sanskrit poetics. It deserves a special mention that Bhoja in his two works, Smigaraprakāśa and Sarasvatikanthābharana reproduces almost the whole of Gāthasaptaśati to illustrate the various points of poetics.
The Gathāsaptaśari is almost a unique anthology in so far as it has a spirit of closeness to life and common realities which is hardly to be noticed in any other Indian anthology, Although in its present form it is not folk-poetry, it is the work of poets who wished really to express the emotions and feelings as well as to describe happenings in the lives of the people of the land or the lower strata of humanity, the cowherd and cowherdess, the girl who tends the field or grinds corn at the mill, the hunter and his family, the farmer and the daughter of the village-chief, the wayfarer and the water-maid, travellers and their young women longing for their husband's return home. Although we have frequent and charming pictures of nature, pithy sayings (subhā șitas) about women, the conduct of life, practical wisdom, moral maxims, seasons, etc., it is predominantly love poetry. The varied forms of love are here brilliantly portrayed. It frankly describes young maidens' beauty, their buxom breasts, their voluptuous buttocks, the three folds of skin above their navel and so on. It describes the joys and sorrows of wedded life as well as secret or clandestine love; love of women in their period, inverted coitus too are described without any inhibition by the gātha poets. The songs are highly erotic but certainly not obscene. In his introductory verses to Harsa-carita the great poet Bāņa showers praise on Sātavāhana's treasure of songs (Gā thăkoša) in these glowing terms:
“Sātavāhana made a treasure with fine sayings as with jewels, that was immortal inexhaustible), not vulgar or indecent i. e., refined (not produced in villages, for jewels are found in the sea or mines) of pure jāti [(in faultless āryā or gāthà metre, of pure species”)].” Who will disagree with this judgement of Bāņa ? Uddyotanasūri, an eminent Prākrit poet thus pays tribute to Hāja :

“When Hāla who has by his poetry made even the farmers recite the Gathās ( lit. eloquent because of their mastery of sportfulness of utterances) (and who used to appreciate Prakrit poetry by generous gifts), is dead and gone to heaven, what is the use of our composing poems ? When the intoxicating effect of wine is gone, of what use is the meat”? This is a rich tribute paid by a later poet of eminence to his worthy predecessor.
A. Weber's critical edition of this text with an invaluable Introduction discussing various aspects of the work is indeed a standard or model one. This edition. Das Saptasatakum of Hala, however, being in German is not easily accessible and further, not intelligible to Indian scholars who are not acquainted with the German language. A critically presented text in Devanāgari script, accompanied by its study in detail in English was a long-felt need. The Prakrit Text Society, Ahmedabad had entrusted the work of editing Hala's Gāhākosa with the hitherto unpublished commentary of Bhuvanapāla to Prof. M. V. Patwardhan. Part I of this edition containing the text and the commentary was published by the Society in 1980. On account of his indifferent health Prof. Patwardhan could not then prepare Part II. Now this part, containing Introduction, Translation, Alphabetical Index of the Gathas, Glossary of select words and Explanatory Notes, is being published as No. 5 in the B. L. Series. Prof. M. V. Patwardhan, an eminent scholar of Sanskrit and Prākrit, has made a modest attempt to meet the long-felt need. We are thankful to him for completing his work as per schedule. We are sure it will be warmly welcomed by all scholars who are interested in Indian poetry, more especially Prakrit poetry.

Foreword by the Editor
The present volume (B.L. Series, No. 5) is part II of the edition of the Gābākosa of Hāla, of which Part I (containing the Prākrit text and Bhuvanapāla's Sanskrit commentary) was published in 1980 (Prakrit Text Series No.21), by the Prakrit Text Society, Ahmedabad. Because of my indifferent health, my work on Part II was suspended and postponed for a good many years, and hence the Prakrit Text Society could not publish Part II. In 1986 however Dr. V. M. Kulkarni introduced me to Shri Pratap Bhogilal, who kindly agreed to publish Part II in the B. L. Series with the permission of Prof. D. D. Malvania, Secretary, Prakrit Text Society. The present volume contains the English translation of the Prakrit text. index of stanzas in the text, glossary of words, explanatory notes and introduction.
I consider it to be my pleasant duty to express here my heart-felt thanks to Dr. A. Weber for the inspiration and invaluable help that I derived from his monumental and pioneering work on Hāla's (Gāthā-) sapta-sataka in German (1881), and on the version of Bhuvanapāla (published by Dr. Weber in Indische Studien, Vol. 16, 1883 ); to Shri Pratap Bhogilal, who kindly agreed to publish Part II in the B. L. Series; to Prof. D.D. Malvania for agreeing to the publication of Part II in the B. L. Series, and to Dr. V. M. Kulkarni for the keen interest he took in the publication of Part II. My thanks are also due to Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona; to L. D. Institute, Ahmedabad; to Oriental Institute, Baroda; to Fergusson College, Poona and to Willingdon College, Sangli, for allowing me to make use of relevant manuscripts and reference books in their libraries. Finally I am happy to record my thanks to G. G. Barve and his sons (of the Ved Vidya Mudranalaya, Poona), for the decent printing and get-up of the book and uniform courtesy during the process of printing.

Introduction
I. General Remarks :
Gābākosa is the name of the version of Hāla's Gāthāsaptašati (Gāhāsatta sai or Saptaśatakam) as presented by Bhuvanapāla (B), a Jaina commentator belonging to a period after that of Kuntaka (author of Vakroktijivita) (11th century A. D. ), whom he quotes frequently in his commentary. The word kosa (=kośa) means an anthology or collection of stanzas unconnected with one another so far as their subject matter is concerned. Visvanātha (Sāhityadarpana, VI, 329-330) defines kośa as a collection of stray stanzas'. Such mutually unconnected stanzas are called muktaka (isolates). If the stanzas are arranged in the form of subject-wise groups, the groups are called Vajja ( = Vrajyā). Jayavallabha, the compiler of Vajjālagga, says that vajjā means paddhati, a particular way of stanza-arrangement in which the stanzas are grouped subjectwise. Several anthologies in Sanskrit are found arranged in the Vrajyā or Paddhati form, e. g, the Subhāṣitāvali of Vallabhadeva, the Sarngadharapaddhati of Sārngadhara, the Subhāșitaratnakośa of Vidyākara, etc. The Nitisataka of Bharthari also is arranged in the paddhati form. The Dhvanyaloka III (p. 323) and the Locana III (p.326) use the word paryayabandha in the sense of vrajyābandha. Hemacandra (Kavyanušāsana Alamkāracüdā mani, p. 466, Bombay edition, 1964) uses the word paryā in the sense of vrajya. The traditional form of the Gathāsaptasari (barring a few exceptions) is not arranged in the vrajyā form. It was Sadhāraṇadeva who subseqnently appears to have given this form to it. (See foot-note 4). The Gā hākosa too is not altogether free from occasional small topic-wise groupings of stanzas.
The Aryāsaptaśati of Govardhana ( 11th century A. D. ) is an anthology of 700 Sanskrit stanzas in the Aryā metre, the stanzas being arranged not in the form of subjectwise groups, but in the order of the Devanāgari alphabet, each group containing stanzas beginning with a prticular letter from a to hand called akaravrajyā, akaravrajyā, ikäravrajya,

etc. Govardhana has obviously composed his work to enulate Hāla's Prākrit anthology.
The text of the Gabākosa as printed in Part I ( Prakrit Text Society, Ahmedabad, 1980 ) contains not exactly 700 stanzas as one expects from st. 2, but only 694 stanzas. The stanzas corresponding to serial numbers 588, 596, 597, 638, 639 and 640 are missing in all the manuscripts cousulted for constituting and editing the text.? Further, the commentary of Bhuvanapāla is available only for the first six centos (i. e. st. 1-600) in the Bhandarkar Institute manuscript and the L. D. Institute (Ahmedabad) manuscript. For the seventh cento, we have only the commentary of Ajada (st. 601-637) and an anonymous commentary (st. 641-700), the intervening three stanzas (638-640) being absent in both these commentaries. As against this we have four additional stanzas at the end of the sixth cento in the Bhandarkar Institute manuscript of Ajada's commentary. These four stanzas with the commentary of Ajada are printed on pp. 294-296 of Part I and their English translation appears on p. 90 of Part II.
II. Author-cum-compiler of Gahakosa :
In st. 2 of the Gähākosa, Hāla is said to have composed (i. e. compiled and edited ) seven hundred stanzas out of a fabulous crore (i. e. ten million)of stanzas. The word
(6) See Aryāsaptasati, introductory stanza 52 :
वाणी प्राकृतसमुचितरसा बलेनेव संस्कृतं नीता। निम्नानुकलनीरा कलिन्दकन्येव गगनतलम् ॥ " As (formerly) Balarāma reversed the current of Kalinda's daughter (i, e. Yamunā) naturally flowing from high to low regions, so have I perforce madə the muse of poetry, naturally prone to find its emotional expression through Prākrit to put on
the garb of Sanskrit." (7) See Part I, Preface pp. 7-8; note on pp. 258-259 and foot-note on p. 254 and foot
note 6 on p. 270. (8) The date of Hāla is generally believed to be the 1st or 2nd Century A. D., since
according to the tradition preserved in the Hindu Purāṇas, he was the 17th in the list of nearly thirty Andhra or Andhrabhrtya kings all of whom were known by the dynastic name Sātavāhana ( or Salivāhana) and who ruled over the Deccan for about six hundred years from the 3rd century B. C. to the 3rd Century A. D. (See Winternitz, History of Indian Literature (in German), Vol. III, pp. 102-103) ]. The reference to Vikramāditya in st. 465 of the Gahakosa must therefore be taken to be to King Vikramāditya I, founder of the Vikrama Samvat era (56 years before the Christian era), and the referenee to Sālāhaņa in st. 468 must be understood to be not to Hāla himself, but to some illustrious and munificent ancestor of his. The occasional echoes in Gāhākosa of ideas in Kālidāsa's poems and dramas (e. g. st. 14, 44, 47, 232, 251, etc.) would lead to the conclusion that Kālidāsa belonged to the 1st century B. C. and enjoyed the patronege of king Vikramāditya I. According to Weber (Winternitz, Vol. III, p. 102 foot-note 5), the name Hāla means a ploughman or peasant (from hala =a plough) and was assumed by the compiler of the anthology as pen-name, as it was in consonance with the predominantly pastoral nature of the themes in the anthology.

Page #14

viraiyaim ( = viracitāni) used in this stanza does not mean “composed " (by Hāla), but compiled, edited and arranged in the form of an anthology divided into seven groups of one hundred stanzas each. Bāņa also speaks of Sātavāhana (i. e. Hāla) as the compiler of the koša ( (i. e. Gathā saptasati ) in one of the introductory stanzas of his historical romance, Harşacarita. Here the words Kosam akarot correspond to viraiyā im of Gārākosa, st. 2. It is true that Hāla is traditionally credited with the authorship of about 55 stanzas in the Gähäkosa according to the commentaries of Bhuvanapāla, Ajada and of the anonymous commentator printed in Part I. But so far as the remaining nearly 650 stanzas go, Hāla has played the role of only a compiler of the stanzas composed by other poets and poetesses, and perhaps the role of a revisor or redactor. Amongst the authors mentioned in the commentaries, there are about twelve women.10 Among men poets we have qffe (or gifçe), 9149faTIF, gay, 99777, ara, hifzo, fa faca, TTIGT, 75€, gaga and TETS. It must be remembered however that these and other author-names are handed down by tradition and the statements of the commentators are often at variance with one another. Except in the case of gatha, TE, TUZU, arafatis and acan we have no knowledge of their being authors of literary works in Präkrit.
III. Language of the Gahakosa :
The language used in the text of the Gahākosa as printed in Part I is what Prof. H. Jacobi called by the name Jaina Māhārāştri a dialectal variation of the Māhārästri Präkrit, i. e, the Middle Indian language used in the geographical region called Mahārāstra (corresponding roughly to the present Indian province of Mahārāştra). Dandin (6th century) speaks of the language spoken in Mahārāştra as Prākrit par excellence" (i. e. standard or basic Prākrit ) and says that epics like Setubandha (of Pravarasena) " which are oceans of the
(9) St. 14: 3faalfaati4Hala Flaniga: fagufaf#: FIST ofta #tufa: 1
“ Sātavāhana made a collection of stanzas faultlessly constructed in the Jāti (i. e. Aryā (metre) - a collection imperishable and characterised by suggestivity (agrāmya), just as the ocean makes ( i. e. contains ) (in its abysmal depths ) a collection of pure and genuine gems (i. e. pearls) - a collection that is imperishable (i. e, inexhaustible)

gems of beautiful stanzas", are composed in that language. The Māhārāstri Präkrit is the standard Prākrit" dealt with in a detailed manner by Hemacandra and other grammarians in their works on Prākrit grammar, the other middle Indian Prakrits, such as Sauraseni, Māgadhi, Paisāci and Apabhraņsa being only dialectal variations of the basic Mārahāstrī, deviating from it in small or large measure. Now Jaina Māhārāştri (not specifically dealt with by any of the Prākrit grammarians) is the form of Māhārāștri used by Svetāmbara Jaina authors of non-canonical works such as Paümacariya (of Vimalasūri), Samarāicchakahā (of Haribhadra), Vasudevabindi (of Sanghadāsa) and Prākrit stories preserved in Sāntyācārya's and Devendra's Sanskrit commentaries on the Jaina canonical work Uttaradhyayana Sūtra. It is essentially Māhārāştri Prākrit itself, with a mixture of some phonetic and grammatical peculiarities. Here are some peculiarities which distinguish Jaina Māhārāștri. from Māhārāștri:-(i) Preponderance of Yasruti,(see Hemacandra, 1, 180: zauf tafa:).14 Thevowels a and आ remaining behind after the elision of postvocalic medial क,ग,च, जत्द् ,पाय, and a (in the case of sanskrit words in their passage from Sanskrit to Prākrit) attract all as a hiatus-filler. Yašruti occurs mostly after a preceding 3 or at, but sometimes also after a preceding , S. 3, 5, T or 31.15 For example : 1 (st. 1), 5U (st. 5), T T (st. 2),
es a giftat
71, 575, 582,
the elision of
(13) See Hemacandra, Prākệt Grammar, 1, 1 : 377 974; 4, 286 : 0 ST TIT; 4, 323 :
To acaat; 4, 446 : Taaraa. (14) This rule, though given by Hemacandra in the context of Prākst in general ( i. e.
Mābārāştri ) is more applicable to Jaina Māhārāştri than to Māhārāștri proper. (15) We however come across some exceptions to the rule about Yašruti given above. In
the case of the phrases 7 alfat (= HTA:), NE (= FT FTIT), etuifa ( Tiafia) (occurring in st. 297, 404, 471, 575, 582, 598, 652 of Gāhākosa and in other works in Jaina Māhārāştri), there is no reason for the elision of the consonant as it is initial, and also for Yaśruti. It must therefore be assumed that these three phrases were regarded as compounds, thereby making it possible to look upon as a noninitial, medial consonant. See Pischel, Prākrit Grammar (German) 170, p. 127. As a matter of fact in some printe 1 Jaina Māhārāştri texts these phrases are printed with a hyphen between 1 and the following verbal forms to indicate that they are compound expressions. This explanation does not, however, hold good in the case of the phrase ar fari (st. 358), which Bhuvanapāla para phrases as eft Phonetically it stands for Sanskrit चाचलचित्त. चाचल being an adjective from the intensive base चाचल from the root (= to move, be unsteady) and having the same sense as 75. In st. 561, (afta r ) we have Yaśruti in the case of F, even in the absence of the elision of a consonant, unless 377580 is regarded as a causal form used in a noncausal sense. The cumulative particle is almost always represented by T although the consonant is not medial butinitia I, and hence not liable to elision, and so there is no reason for yaśruti in the case of the residual vowel 3. Yaśruti has the advantage of making the residual gaseous, amorphous and faceless vowels 37 and ar put on a liquid and tangible appearance.

भायणं (st. 3), गहिय (st. 15), विरइयाइं (st. 2), रुयसु (st. 8), सुयइ (st. 31), भूयं (st. 7), एयाण (st. 9) वेयणं (st. 24), ओमोयंती (st. 29), लोयस्स (st. 32). The phenomenon of Yasruti is generally absent in Māhārāstri works like Gathāsaptaśati, Setubandha (of Pravarasena) and Gaüdavaha (of Vakpatiraja). (ii) Change of medial न to ण् ( cerebralisation) is universal in both
Maharastri and Jaina Maharastri, e. g. हालेण, गाहाणं (st. 2), भायणं (st. 3), नयणाई (st. 4). But whereas an initial a also is changed to o in Māhārāştri, it is never changed to up in Jaina
Maharastri, but remains unchanged, e. g. नमह (st. 1), निश्चल, निम्मल (st. 3), नयणाइं (st, 4). (iii) The medial Sanskrit conjuncts ज (ज+1), ण, न्न्, न्य न and न्व् are mostly represented n Jaina Maharastri by न्न, e.g. विन्नत्ति (=विज्ञप्ति) (st. 111), विन्नाण ( =विज्ञान ) (st. 196), हिययन्नु (=हृदयज्ञ) (st. 63), जन्नवाड (यज्ञवाट) (st. 173), खुन्न (=क्षण्ण) (st. 441), आसन्न (=आसन्न) (st. 96), अन्न ( अन्य ) (st. 334, 471), घन (=धन्य) (st. 311), दुन्निक्खवय (= दुनिक्षेपक) (st. 355) अनिरी (=अन्विष्यन्ती ) (st. 275). The sanskrit conjunct हुन is represented by न्हू, e. g. मज्झन्ह (मध्याहुन) (st. 51). Sanskrit ष्य, ण, ष्ण and gण are represented respectively by vण, पण, हू and ण्ह, e. g. दक्खिण्ण (st, 87, 304), लायण्ण (st. 208), तण्णय (st. 17), कण्ण (st. 17), सुण्णार (st. 104), कण्ह (st. 122, 125 etc.), तण्हा (st. 95), उण्ह (st. 33), तुहिक्का (st. 695), अवरह (st. 622), Sanskrit स्न् is represented by न्ह, e. g. न्हाण (st. 81, 82 etc.), जुन्हा (st. 411, 524 ), पन्हयइ, पन्हुइरिं ( st. 463), सुन्हा (st. 114, 187, 199 etc. ). Sanskrit दत्त (=given) becomes दिन्न (st. 25, 30 etc.), स्थाणुक tecomes खन्नुय (st. 66), इदानीम् becomes इन्हि (st. 94, 118, 246 etc.) and रुदितम्, रुदिता, प्ररुदिता and अवरुदितम् become रुन्नं. रुन्ना, परुन्ना and ओरुन्नं (st. 16. 62, 305,
ile agt, at (or à) and for become afg and fafa (st. 25, 363, 367, 520, 573 ), although there is no conjunct in the original Sanskrit words. Considering the general preference for न in conjuncts in Jaina Mahārāstri, one would expect दक्खिन्न, लायन्न, तन्नय (Marathi तान्हा), कन्न (Marathi कान),सुन्नार (Marathi सोनार), कन्ह (Marathi कान्हा), तन्हा (Marathi तहान) and उन्ह (Marathi ऊन्ह), instead of दक्खिण्ण, लायण्ण, तण्णय, कण्ण, सुण्णार, कण्ह, तण्हा and उण्ह respectively.
(iv) Some other grammatical and syntactical peculiarities of the language of Gāhākosa are enlisted below :
(1) Shortening of long vowels before conjuncts (see H. 1, 84) is very common, e. g. sayfa

(28) Similes used in the Gähäkosa :
In addition to stereotyped and conventional similes consisting in the comparison of the hands, feet and faces of beautiful women with the moon, lotuses etc., we have in the Gahakosa several nonconventional and refreshingly original similes: e. g. the comparison of a white female crane perching on a green lotus-leaf with a white Oyster-shell placed on a tray of emerald (st. 3); of the crooked nature of love with the winding tendrils of a Cucumber creeper (st. 9); of a young tawny bull with the first sprout protruding from a germinating mango-stone (st. 17 ); of the thunder of the first rainclouds with the sound of drums beaten at the time of taking a convicted criminal to the place of execution (st. 24); of the first reddish sprout of a germinating mango-stone with the tail of a house-lizard lurking in an opening oyster (st. 64); of reddish Palāśa flowers fallen on the ground with the beaks of parrots and with saffron-robed Buddhist monks bowing down to the Buddha's feet (st. 247); of a lightning-flash with the dangling intestines of the cloud-buffalo pierced with the tip of the rain-bow (st. 570); of buzzing gnats with the clanging sound of the wires of a lute struck with a plectrum (st. 602); of a Jasmine- bud with the slightly protruding tooth of a tiger (st. 580); of the winding, zigzag lane in a village with a snake wriggling with pain on being struck on its head (st. 699).
In contrast with these unconventional similes, we come across several unrealistic artificial and deceptive similes based on the use of bisemic words (Ślesa). E. G. : illiterate men compared with the weighing balance of a gold-smith(st. 104); a wicked person compared with a tambourine (st. 198); reddish Palāśa flowers compared with Rāksasas(st. 250); a wicked peison compared with a lamp (st. 335); the breasts of a woman compared with God Vişnu (t, 426), with two brave warriors (st. 427) and with recitations of poetry (st. 428); the little son of a farmer compared with his paddy-field (st.431); a lonely wayfarer compared with the Kaurava chief Duryodhana (st. 433); the foot of the beloved wife with king Vikramāditya (st. 465); king Sālāhaņa(i, e. Sātavāhana) compared with God Siva (st. 468) (an example of triple Sleşa or trisemi). These similes are in fact no similes at all, but illusive similes amounting to sophistry. We also come across illusive examples of other figures of speech based on Ślesa, such a Virodha (paradox) (st. 490), Dípaka(zeugma) (st. 500), Arthāpatti (presumption) (st. 587). Sanskrit writers like Subandhu (author of Vā savadatta), and Bāņa (author of Kādumbari) are notorious for their passion for indulging in the use of such deceptive and unrealistic figures of speech based on verbal quibbling.

IV. Brief survey of the contents of Gahakosa :
St. 2 of the Gathāsaptaśati (absent in the Gāhā kosa) speaks of Prākrit poetry as “nectar" (i. e. extremely delectable) and says that those who are unable to read and hear (i. e, understand) it are not competent to speak about erotic matters. 16 This is a clear indi. cation from the compiler-cum-author himself to show that the thousands of Prākrit stanzas current among people at the time of the compilation of the anthology had an erotic pur openly or covertly. This appears to be the reason why the ancient commentators on this anthology were at pains to explain the erotic background and purport of most of the stanzas. But this attempt of the commentators often appears to be futile, especially in the case of stanzas which are obviously of the nature of subhāṣitas, i.e. epigrammatic and gnomic stanzas with a moral or didactic purport, or which contain descriptions of scenes in nature or situations in ordinary life.1? This is not to deny that a large majority of the stanzas contain overtor veiled descriptions of love in mutual physical association and separation or mental estrangement (sambhoga and vipralambha śrngara) of married and unmarried persons, the former category containing cases of premarital and post-marital love, lawful or otherwise. 18 There are some stanzas containing indirect or direct references to the physical poses assumed by couples in love-making (sambhoga-āsanas as described in works on erotics), such as dhainuka and puruṣāyita;'references to intimate physical contact (short of coitus) between men and their spouses in menstruation; 20 references to the antecedents (fore-play) and concomitants of sexual enjoyment, like kissing, embracing, infliction of tooth-bites and fingernail-scratches on various parts of the female partner's body such as breasts, arm-pits, hips and thighs, and to the eonsequents of love-play, such as perspiration, fast respiration and physical exhaustion; ? references to the miserable life and sufferings of loving men and women in separa

कामस्स तततंति कुणंति ते कह ण लज्जति ॥ (17) See e.g. st. 43, 64, 65, 65, 71, 72, 83, 84, 96, 102, 104, 124, 126, 127,128, 163, 189,192,
193–196, 198, 200, 258, etc. The compiler of Vajjālagga (st. 1) says that his collection contains stanzas dealing with dharma (morality or righteousness), artha (worldly success) and kama (pursuit of material pleasures). This description should apply to
Hāla's anthology also. (18) See e. g. st. 58, 67, 68, 164, 183, 356, 458, 462, 690, 691. (19) See st. 10 (suggested dhainuka), 31, 54, 138, 239, 352 and 636 (suggested purusāyita);
st. 141, 406, 448, 509 and 583 (direct reference to puruṣāyita). (20) See st. 20, 483, 484, 508, 526, 532, 553. In st. 508, the word dat (sight) is a euphe
mism for close physical contact. (21) See st. 58, 179, 272, 293, 302, 322, 345, 415, 435, 435, 450, 539, 540, 694.

tion from one another; a references to the writing of love-letters; 23 references to the longings of pregnant women; 24 references to the physical debilitation of men due to over--indulgence in sex; as references to the righteousness, modesty, loyalty and devotion of married women (pativrată or gphini); * references to unchaste women and prostitutes and their male patrons; "7 references to the trysting of women (married and unmarried) with their lovers under umbrageous trees or dense arbours of shrubs and creepers on river--banks. 23 Several other stanzas are concerned with incidents in rural life, such as the sowing or harvesting of farms, the fetching of water from rivers by women climbing up or down on steep river-banks, the bathing of women in rivers, the celebrations of festivals like the Phālguna festival or Madano. tsava (festival of Cupid), accompanied by the lusty beating of drums and blowing of trumpets. 29 A good many stanzas speak of the love-affairs of village-girls and village-youths
nd of the strict village-chief descending with a heavy hand on couples found trysting under a hady trees and punishing them with fines for their misbehaviour. 39 Some other stanzas speak of the illicit love between married women and their brothers-in-law who some times sndulge in the flagellation of their brothers' wives (to arouse their passion).31 Some times, however, the illicit love of the brother-in-law is said to fail to evoke a favourable response from his virtuous sister-in-law. 32
Quite a few of the stanzas in this anthology may smack of indecency and sometimes even obscenity to readers of refined, cultured and puritanic taste. But apparently they did not do so to readers of Sanskrit and Prakrit poetry in ancient and mediaeval India. We find even eminent poets like Kālidāsa, Kumāradāsa, Bharavi, Māgha and Sriharsa depicting highly erotic scenes and situations in their epic poems. One of the reasons why such descrip. tions di I not offend the taste of readers and literary critics was the artistic and many times

suggestive manner of their presentation, as Anandavardhana has observed. 33
In this anthology we also come across vivid descriptions of scenes and situations in nature and in human and animal life in the midst of rural surroundings. These descriptions sometimes afford to us examples of the stylistic figure called Jāti or Svabhāvokti with the added charm of poetical similes, fancies and metaphors. For example the description of the Vindhya mountain; 34 of a flock of parrots with verdant wings and red beaks descending from the sky in a curvaceous formation on to the ground and poetically fancied as a necklace inlaid with emeralds and rubies dropping down from the neck of the sky-lady (st. 77); of a woman who, while counting with the fingers of her hands and the toes of her feet, the days elapsed since her husband's departure on a long journey, begins to weep naively as there are no more fingers and toes for counting the days in excess of the twenty already counted by her (st. 246, compare st. 226); of a peasant's attachment to his cultivated paddyfield, compared in a punning manner with a father's affection for his little son (st. 431); of a wife showing to her husband a plum nibbled at by their little son with his recently grown tiny teeth (st. 145) (through this stanza, according to the commentator, the mother cleverly suggests to her husband that they can now safely resume their normal sexual relations suspended during her pre- and post-parturition period !); of a villager who was so fond of his cow-buffalo (now dead) that he tried for a long time to find out another cow-buffalo worthy of wearing the bell-string of his pet dead buffalo and, not finding a suitable recepient, finally dedicates it to the shrine of the Goddess Arya ( i. e. Durgā or Candi) (st. 372); of a young cow trying to coax and court a ferocious bull by gently rubbing her closed eye against his horn (st. 461); of the mute love of a stag for his mate, each of them abstaining, though thirsty, from drinking water and waiting for the other to quench thirst first (st. 591); of a male elephant who sadly recollects the pleasures formerly enjoyed in the company of his now dead mate, while the morsel of lotus-stalks held on the tip of his trunk prior to inserting it in his hungry mouth withers, as he is lost in the sad memories of his dear mate (st. 396); of a female elephant, circling round her mate stuck in the mud of a pond, and stretching out her trunk in a vain attempt to lift him up (st. 455).
The charming pen-pictures of which only a few have been cited above at random can be multiplied almost endlessly.35 Intelligent readers can note them for themselves by examining the text printed in Part I with the help of the English translation and notes included in the present volume. Within the limits of the four short quarters of the Aryā metre the authors of the gāthīs show marvellous skill in conjuring up the various scenes and

situations in a life-like manner, a skill comparable with that of the great lyrical poet Amaru in his century of love-lyrics. The literary style of the Gathas is lucid and simple except in a few cases where long compounds with occasionally inverted sequence of the constituent words are used and where the authors show a penchant for using bisemic phrases (both these tendencies being a legacy from classical Sanskrit poetry), when the style becomes a bit, laboured and difficult,
The figures of speech used in the Gathās are quite numerous and the Gāthās are often cited in works on Sanskrit poetics both for the figures of speech and for the various forms of Dhvani poetry. Almost all these stylistic figures have been identified and mentioned by name by Bhuvanapala in his commentary (printed in Part I along with the Gathās), where he cites relevant definitions from, or refers to, writers on Sanskrit poetics.
Among the authors of extant works on Sanskrit poetics, it was Anandavardhana (author of Dhvanyalokā, 9th Century A. D.) who appears to have initiated the practice of citing stanzas from Präkrit poetry to illustrate his doctrine of Dhvani (suggestion). No other work on Sanskrit poetics prior to Dhvanyaloka gives citations from Prakrit poetry to illustrate the figures of speech. The credit therefore goes to Anandavardhana for invoking the aid of Prakrit poetry to illustrate various points in Sanskrit poetics. It was he who first discovered the suggestive power of Prakrit poetry. In Dhvanyaloka he has cited about 41 Prakrit stanzas, out of which 14 are from Gathàsaptasatii and 11 from Gahakosa.

(2) Malaya, st. 450, 501. (3) Mandara, st. 476. (Neither the Himālaya nor the Sahya mountain is mentioned in the Gähākosa. The non-mention of certain rivers and mountains in the Gabākosa does not necessarily mean that they were not known in the region where or the period in which
the anthology was compiled). d) Oceans : (1) st. 507 mentions the ocean into which the river Narmadā flows (i. e. the Western or Arabian Ocean). (2) The mythical milk-ocean is referred to in st. 128, 401, 476 and 585.
e) Historical persona lities etc. :
(1) Hāla (the compiler-cum-author of the anthology), st. 2. (2) Sālāhaņa (Sātavāhana), st. 468. (3) Vikramaditya st. 465. St. 472 and Add. 3 probably refer to Vikramaditya without mentioning his name. Temples of Aryā (i. e. Durgā) and Aparņā (i. e. Pārvati) are referred to in st. 372 and 472 respectively. There is a reference to a statue or idol of Yaksa in st. 326 and to a sacrificial enclosure in st. 173. 38
VI. The Commentator Bhuvanapala :
The commentator Bhuvana pāla whoje commentary on the first six centos [and probably on the seventh cento (st. 641-700) also 39 ] is printed in Part I of the Gāhākosa, was a Jaina (Svetāmbara) as is evident from the salutation to, or mention of, Jina in various parts of the commentary, 49 to Gautama and Mahavira Vitarága, 41 and to Jina and Sri Gautama. 4a About his date we can only say that he wrote his commentary after the Ilth and 12th century A. D. , since he frequently makes citations from Kuntaka's Väkrökti--jivita 43
(38) Quite a lot of information regarding the social, cultural, mythological, geographical,
botanical and zoological references in the Gathā sap-taśati, which have been examined and classified under suitable headings, is contained in the extensive introduction (covering 440 pages) to the Marathi edition of the anthology by Mr. S. A. Jogalekar (Poona, 1956). A similar survey of the contents of the Gahikosa is obviously beyond the scope
of the present introduction. (39) See pp. 258-259 of Part I. (40) See commentary on st. 1, 101, 201, 301 introductory phrases), and the colophon of
cento 3 (p. 135). (41) See colophon of cento 4 (p. 179). (42) See st. 501 (introductory phrase). (43) See his commentary on st. 109, 115, 205, 541, 569.

( xiv)
(11th century A.D. See Kane's History of Sanskrit Poetics, pp. 235, 243), and cites sūtra 2, 217 from the Prakrit Grammar of Hemacandra (12 the century A. D., See Kane, ibid p. 290). We cannot say anything about the date before which Bhuvanpäla wrote his commen
tary.
Bhuvanapala names his commentary as Chekoktivicaralila" i. e." elegant reflection on, and exposition of the clever utterances (in the Gahakosa)." The chaya (Sanskrit paraphrase) of each stanza appearing at the beginning of the commentary on it (and enclosed in rectangular brackets) in Part I does not form part of the commentary, but has been reconstructed with the help of Bhuvanapala's paraphrase of the individual words of that stanza while commenting on it. 46 In the case of most of the stanzas he mentions the name of the poet or poetess (mostly in Sanskrit, but at times in Prakrit) with whom the stanza is associtated by tradition as known to him. He also explains the contextual background in the case of a large majority of the stanzas and then starts his explanation of them word by word. At the end of his commentary on several stanzas, he explains the grammatical peculiarities of important words, citing relevant sūtras from Vararuci's Prakyta-Prakasa and in a very few cases from Hemacandra's Sabdanusāsana (chapter 8 dealing with Prakrit grammar) without mentioning the name of either. In a number of cases, grammatical rules are cited (many times in a corrupt form) which cannot be traced to either Vararuci's or Hemacandra's Prakrit Grammer. Sometimes sutras are cited from some work on Sanskrit grammar (Hemacandra's Sabdanusāsana? or Devanandin's Jinendravyakaraan? or Sakaṭayana's Sabdanugasana?). In the case of a few stanzas he makes no comments at all,saying merely gàtärtha gàthà or nigadavyakhyāta gatha. He generally identifies the stylistie figures in the stanzas, citing their definitions. from Dandin's Kavyadarsa, Rudrata's Kavyalahkara, Bhoja's Sarsvațikaṇṭhābharaṇa and in a few cases from Kuntaka's Vakroktijlvita [but never from the works of Bhama ha, Vamana,Udbhața, Mammața and Hemacandra (Kāvyānusāsana)]. He occasionlly mentions the views of Anandavardhana (author of Dhvanyaloka,9th century A.D.)on the kind of the suggested sense (factual,imaginative and emotional) conveyed by the stanzas, contrasting his views with those of Alamkara writers like Daṇḍin and others. He also identifies and exlpains the Nayakas (such dhira, daksina, satha) and of the Nayikās (such as virahini, pativrata,mugdha, prauḍhā, sviya, parakiya, abhisarikā, asati), citing definitions from Bharata's Natyasastra and from Rudrata's Kāvālamkāra as also from some untraced works on Dramaturgy. While explaining the stable and transitory emotional moods reflected in the stanzas and their physical manifestations, he cites from Bharata's Natyastra and also from some untraced works.
(44) See commentary on st 557. The sutra cited there does not occur in Vararuci's Prakrita prakāśa and must be presumed to be cited from Hemacandra.
(45) See colophons of Cento I (p. 46), Cento III (p. 135), Cento IV (p. 179), Cento V (p. 220) and Cento (VI) (p. 258).
(46) Bhuvanapala follows the method called Khandanvaya (repeating the individual Prakrit words in each stanza one by one according to their prose-order and explaining them in Sanskrit, and not the method known as dandanvaya (giving the Sanskrit explanation of cach stanza as a whole, without breaking it up in suitable units).

( xv )
The text of the first six centos of the Gā häkosa (597 stanzas ) (see footnote on pages 254 and 256, Part I), commented on by Bhuvanapāla, differs from the first six centos of the Saptaśatakam of Hala as commented on by Gangadhara (vulgate) and presented by Prof. Weber in his comprehensive German edition (1881), in the following three respects :
(i) (1) Omission of about 40 stanzas from the vulgate. (2) Inclusion of about 27 stanzas outside the vulgate, but presenced by Prof. Weber in
his edition.
Total of (1) and (2): 67 stanzas.
[ The number of stanzas common to the first six centos of the Gāhākosa and the vuigate is therefore about 530 (597-67) ].
The seventh cento of the Gahakosa, reconstructed from the version of Ajada ( 37 stanza ) and the Baroda manuscript (60 stanzas) (see note on pp. 258-259, Part I) (total : 97 stanzas), contains 52 stanzas from the vulgate and 45 stanzas outside the vulgate, but included by Prof. Weber in his edition,
(ii) In a good many cases, the Gähäkosa shows readings different from those in the vulgate.
The variant readings are recorded in the foot-notes to the text printed in Part I, preceded by the letter W (=Weber).
(ii) Even in the case of stanzas common to the Gahākosa and the vulgate, the sequence of
stanzas is often slightly or moderately or considerably different in the two versions. This will be clear from the Arabic numbers to the left of the text of the stanzas in Part I and preceded by the letter W, supplying a sort of concordance of the two versions.
Here are a few other interesting points about Bhuvanapala's commentary :1) While commenting on st. 103, he says that slaying of animals as victims in sacrifices
(to please the gods), though causing pain to the victims, does not retributively harm the sacrificer. This cannot of course be the view of Bhuvanapāla himself (as he was a devout Jaina), but must be regarded as the view of the advocates of the Vedic cult of animal sacrifice.
T, TETA, au and
2) On st. 11', he mentions the four classes of words in Präkrit, viz., a
ATATF101974. See notes on st. 112.
3) While commenting on st. 180, he waxes poetically eloquent in describing the various
parts of a beautiful woman's body, from head to foot. 4) On stanzas 198, and 394, he mentions a few technical terms in musicology, viz., the
three माना s, the twenty-two श्रुति s, the seven स्वर s, the fourteen मुर्छना s, and thirtytwo 3717 s, citing some untraced work on musicology.
5) On st. 207, he sets forth some ideas concerned with embryology. and gynaecology.

Page #27

( xvi)
6) While commenting on the word Tot in st. 268 (and 621), he says that it corresponds
to the word gut in the contemporary regional language (19fha). This perhaps
shows that Bhuvanapāla belonged to the Gurjaradeśa (i. e. Gujarat). 7) Commenting on st. 329, he refers to the story of Hiranyakaśipu reborn as Rāvana and
then as Sisupala (see Māgha, Sišupālavadha, I, 42-72 and XX, 79).
8) On st. 334, he refers to the popular belief that a crow lives for a very long time (one
hundred years). 9) On st. 337, he says that according to the science of prognostics (375tfar), the throb
birg of the left eye, arm etc. in the case of women is indicative of good luck in the near
future. 10) On st. 397 (a duet- anataray - between an angry woman and her indifferent and men
tally estranged husband), he speaks of the affalfa (simple, transparent style) of that stanza.
11) Commenting on st. 485, he makes mention of stagefnar (power of mental communion
through meditation), a Buddhistic term. 12) On st. 665, it is said by the anonymous commentator, citing an obscure stanza, that
there are eight forest-regions where elephants abound and thrive.
13) On st. 666, the same anonymous commentator speaks of eight pedigrces and four classes
of elephants. 14) On st. 689, it is said by the same commentator that songs (or stanzas) with the bride
groom's name mentioned in them (along with the bride's name also ?) are sung by young girls on the occasion of wedding ceremonies.
15) Bhuvanapāla's version of the Gähäkosa omits the three well-known stanzas from the
Gāthāsaptaśati, viz. st. 2 (see footnote 16 above) about the greatness of Präkrit poetry; st. 175 (9479 EF#37 art etc.) and st. 669 ( ru FUTUTE THT etc. ), the last two of which are frequently quoted in Sanskrit works on poetics for their factual suggestions (qarqara) that are opposed to their literal senses (asure).

CENTO I
1. Salutation to Siva :
Pay homage to the hands of Pasupati (Siva ), joined together and filled with water in honour of the (Goddess of the ) Evening twilight, wherein the moon-like face of Gauri (Pārvati) (standing nearby), crimson with jealous anger, is reflected in the form of an image and which (joined hands) ( therefore ) appear as if holding a red lotus as a votive offering to the Goddess of Evening Twilight ). 2. Compiler of the Collection :
Seven hundred stanzas rich in poetic charm were composed (i.e. compiled) and arranged in the form of an anthology) by Hāla, the lover (i.e. admiring friend) of poets, from out of a crore (ten millions, i.e. countless number).
3. Ideal Tryst :
Look (here). The female crane appears so lovely, poised steady and motionless on the (green) leaf of the lotus-plant, resembling an oyster-shell resting on a tray of pure emerald.
4. Complete exhaustion :
The flirting blandishments of women look charming during amorous dalliance, only so long as their eyes, resembling the petals of blue lotuses (i.e. their dark eyes), do not close (in utter exhaustion).
5. Neglect not your wife :
“Why do you not seek (the emergence of) a new fruit (for your self) (by embracing me), but instead seek it for the Kurabaka (by urging me to embrace if ?" Thus, indeed, oh charming one, your wife turns her lotus-like face away (from you) and laughs (at this behaviour of yours).
6. Retaliation :
Beautiful women are tormented, during separation from their dear consorts, by the (blossoming of the) Aśoka trees. Does (ever) any one tolerate a kick given by any body, if he is strong enough (to retaliate)?
7. Cancellation of the tryst :
Oh aunt, the extremely charming bed of lotus plants, the glory and ornament of the village, has been made by the winter (frost) to be like a plucked (i.e. harvested) sesamum-field.
8. Don't worry, here is another trysting place :
Do not weep with downcast face because the rice-fields have turned white (due to ripeness ) (and would therefore be soon harvested). Here are now the hemp-gardens that have become (yellow) like actors whose faces are decked with yellow paint.

Page #31

9. Crooked Love :
Friend, just such is the tragic way of these feelings of love which are crooked like the tendrils of young cucumber plants. Do not (therefore) weep with your moon-like face slanted away.
10. Extremely funny situation :
As the little) son climbed on the back of the spouse who had bent his head at the feet (of his wife) (by way of apology), there escaped a smile from the housewife, although she was tormented by intense anger (at the lapse on the part of her consort).
11. Clever pleading :
She really knows how to see (and decide correctly). (For) love directed towards a worthy person (like yourself) is (only) proper. Let her die (if she fails to evoke responsive love in you). I shall not say anything to you (i. e. I shall not plead her case before you). Even death (resulting from her failure to evoke love in you and to secure you) is laudable for her, (i.e. is deserved by her).
12. Even fire covets to inhale your sweet breath :
Oh you, skilled in the art of cooking, do not feel sorry. The fire in the oven does not blaze, but (only) smoulders, while imbibing the breath from your mouth, which (breath) is fragrant like the red Patala flowers.
13. Her only longing :
When the simple-minded young woman suffering from the ailments of her first pregnancy was questioned by her female friends about her cravings, hef glance turned only towards her dear consort.
14. Prayer to the moon :
Oh moon, consisting of nectar, the ornament of the sky, the ornamental mark on the face of the night, touch me too with the same rays with which you have already) touched my dear consort.
15. Vain dreams :
“He (my consort), having been absent from home (for long) will now retorn, I shall vent my anger on him (for his prolonged absence) and he will then conciliate me"; such a series of desires cherished about one's dear consort, fructifies in the case of (only) some (fortunate) person (and not of me).
16. Stark poverty :
"How possibly can I, (recently) washed (vigorously), stand (again) the wear and tear of the people belonging to an indigent family ?" Thus did the cloth (rag) (already worn threadbare) weep as it were, with drops of water trickling from its fringes.

Page #32

17. Blessing on a young calf :
Oh young calf, having the tawny complexion of tender leaves protruding from a sprouting mango-stone and proceeding with pricked up ears to the house dear to your heart, may you (eventually) attain to the status of an eminent steer.
18. Apology :
Oh charming one, who are simulating sleep and are (merely) closing your eyes, give me (sleeping) place (near you, on your bed). Oh you whose cilia are standing on their ends as I imprint a kiss on your cheek, I shall never again be late (in coming to you).
19. Hasten to your lover before his interest in you flags :
Go to his house, just without finishing your personal decoration, while yet he is taking keen interest in you (and is yearning for you). If you allow his interest in you to flag, you will not obtain, oh dear girl, a footing in his mind.
20. The forbidden hasty kiss :
I remember (still) her (hurried) kiss as her face was smeared with (yellow) coloured ghee (because she was in her menses), the kiss in which she lowered her lip to me solicitously and in which her nose did not touch mine nor did her forehead come into contact with mine.
21. Double personality :
During amorous dalliance (at night) she gives hundreds of commands (to me), her cheeks blooming with joy (all the while); and at day-break she bends down her face in bashfulness. I cannot believe that she is the self-same beloved (that she was at night).
22. False politeness :
(My) sal utation to your nobility of birth, which urges you to bear both these heavy sorrows, viz. separation from the object of your real love and seeing the object of your hatred.
23. Irresistible appeal :
Even a single dark, spotted deer turning (from the left hand side) to the right hand side (of the road) (while being pursued by a hunter) stops a traveller from proceeding (with his intended journey). How much more so, when both the tearful (dark and white coloured) eyes of the beloved one (meet the prospective traveller on the eve of his departure)?
24. You have been untrue to me, I have never been to you:
You would certainly not have assumed stiffness (haughtiness) F(towards me) :(when I scolded you for your infidelity), if you had known (by personal experience) the agony (of others) on slightly waking up in the midst of their sleep and on feeling (with their hands) the portion of the bed (near them) vacated (by their consorts).

Page #33

25. Endurance-test :
When the two, both angered in love, pretend to be asleep, being too haughty to appear to yield, and attentively listen motionless to each other's restrained breaths, which of them would be victorious (over the other) ?
26. Unholy passion :
On whichever part of the body, the brother-in-law desires to give a blow (or tap) with a blue lotus, on that limb of the young married lady, there appears a stiff line of horripiation (indicative of her joy and bashfulness).
27. Absence of the dear consort when the rains set in, is death itself :
As I was recollecting in his absence the delights enjoyed in his company), I heard the rumbling of the (rainy season's) first clouds, which appeared to me like the sound of the drum beaten when a criminal sentenced to death is led to the place of execution.
28. All the village ladies are pining for you :
Oh unkind one, oh you who are afraid of your wife, oh you, whose sight is (very) difficult to have, oh you, who are like an insect in a Nimbajberry, oh you, son of the villagechief, the entire village (i. e. all the women in the village) is growing lean because of you.
29. Reconciliation after apology:
The very moment she disentangles the hair of her dear consort prostrating at her feet, from the protruding points of her anklets in which it had become entangled, she proclaims (to him) thereby that her jealous anger has disappeared from her heart.
30. Memento of love :
Oh charming one, even now she wears (on her head) the crumpled withered wreath of flowers formerly given by you with your own hands, although it has now lost its fragrance, like the image of the guardian goddess of some house in a deserted city, (which too carries the wreath of flowers formerly offered by votaries and since then become stale, faded and bereft of fragrance).
31. Mighty protector-guarantee of security :
The wife of the son of the village-chief sleeps with difficulty (i. e. does not get restful sleep while reclining) on his chest, rugged with the scars of wounds caused by blows (with the weapons of his adversaries, while fighting with them.). The entire) village, however, sleeps comfortably (because of the sense of security under his leadership).
32. Veiled taunt :
Oh charming one, it is you alone who have followed this natural (straightforward, honest) course (of addressing me by the name of your sweet-heart whom you have enshrined in your mind); for now-a-days there is one thing in the heart (mind) and quite a different thing in the speech of people.

Page #34

33. Doubly scorched :
Setting on fire my heart with anger (aroused by your attachment to your sweet-heart), why are you now scorching my back also by giving out warm sighs (due to remorse) as I am lying on a portion of the bed, my face turned away from you ?.
34. Doting attachment :
The delicate dark-complexioned damsel bathed herself for quite a long time on the river Godā, with (the coarse) Jambu-powder (or Jambū-extract) left over (after having been used by you for your bath).
35. Loss of the glow of health :
Oh you who have been delaying in your return home) (and staying out for too long), her face, soiled with tears streaming down in your separation, has been deprived of its lustre (or healthy glow), just like the banner on the top of the sun's chariot (which too is deprived of its shadow because of its extreme proximity to the sun).
36. Veiled remonstrance :
To the brother-in-law whose mind is not pure (i. e. who harbours immoral passion for her), the young wife narrates during day-time (or for the whole day) the episodes in the life of Sumitra's son i. e. Laksmana), close and faithful follower of Rāma, which (episodes) were pictorially represented on the walls of her apartment,
37. Virtue in the face of temptations :
She stays in a house standing on the fringe of a public square, she is lovely in her appearance, she is in the prime of life, her consort is absent from home (on a long journey), she has an unchaste woman as her neighbour and (on the top of all that) she is (herself) poverty-striken, and yet her vitrue has remained inviolate.
38. Steady attachment :
The Kadamba flower is being swept away by the flood of the mountain-stream, while its filaments are torn away by the whirling motion of the vortex, and the bee clinging to it becomes sometimes slightly drowned (submerged), sometimes rises to the surface (and floats) and then again becomes drowned (but does not forsake the Kadamba flower).
39. For safeguarding ber consort's self-respect :
Striving to save the face of her consort, who (though) poverty-stricken is born in a noble family and) prides himself on his noble birth, the house-wife gets annoyed (or feels distressed) even when her relatives come to her with rich presents (in order to help her out of her difficulties) (and refuses to accept the presents).
40. Consideration for her poor neighbour :
Though her dear consort is only too eager to do as she likes (i. e. has given her the costly clothes and ornaments desired by her) and though the festival has come (i. e. has

Page #35

started), she has not adorned herself, in order to prop up (bolster up) the drooping spirits of her indigent neighbour whose husband is still away from home (on a journey).
41. She loves herself only bacause of you :
Her heart is highly esteemed by her because you are enshrined in it. Her eyes are dear to her because you were seen by them. She loves her limbs too because they have become emaciated in your absence.
42. Bilateral and unilatenal love : That one should feel attached to a loving person who is full of genuine tenderness is (certainly) proper. But if the heart is given to one who is devoid of love, people laugh at that.
43. No success without initiative and endeavour :
A man who undertakes something (difficult to achieve) certainly gets success or meets death. Death is certain even if he does not undertake (the difficult task), but success is never attainablc (if he does not undertake the difficult task).
44. Mental estrangement is worse than physical separation :
(It is said correctly that) the consuming sorrow ef separation from one's beloved person becomes bearable because of the bond of hope (of eventual reunion). But, oh friend, when the beloved one lives in the self-same village but is mentally estranged, that surpasses death itself (i. e. is more agonising than death itself).
45. In his absence eyerything is desolate :
Just today he has departed and just today (i. e. immediately) the faces (i.e. surfaces) of streets, city-squares, temples and our hearts too have become empty (i. e. desolate, bleak, blank).
46. Memories of the earlier beloved persist :
The dear one (1. e. the beloved) glides (or creeps) into a man's heart while he is making love with another woman, whether he observes or does not observe similar qualities in the latter.
47. Gather the flowers while you can:
Since youthful age ebbs away (i. e. is unsteady) like the flood of a river, since the days are continuously fleeting and since the nights too are evanescent (and never return), what is the good, my dear girl, of this (your) accursed haughtiness (stiffness, sulkiness) (against your consort)?
48. Ingenuous prayer to the night :
Tomorrow morning my hard-hearted dear consort will depart on a journey, that is what they say. Oh venerable night do you please lengthen yourself out so much that there will be no tomorrow morning at all for him (and he will permanently stay with me.)

Page #36

49. Crucial moment of leave-taking:
The wife of a prospective traveller (i. e, a person who is about to start on a journey) wanders from house to house asking other women, who have already endured the agony of separation from their dear consorts, about the secret remedy of sustaining one's life at the (critical) moment of the (consort's) leavetaking (bidding farewell).
50. Strange request :
Oh fate, I pray, make my dear consort attached to other women (also). Surely, men who exclusively enjoy the love of a single woman, cannot understand the merits of that woman and the demerits of other women.
51. Clever invitation :
Look here, oh traveller, at midday the shadow does not move out even slightly, but holds on (or clings) to just below the Sirisa tree, through fear of the (scorching) heat (of the sun). Therefore why do you not rest awhile (in our or my house) ?
52. Kind, obliging fever :
Oh you obliging (good, kind) fever, since you have brought to me, from afar, the person so difficult to meet (or secure), at least in order to inquire about my condition, even if you take away my life, you will not be doing any wrong to me.
53. Jealous refusal :
Surely, whether my fever is slight or not slight, how is that a concern of others (i,e. of you; why should you bother about that)? Oh charming one inquiring about the condition of my health, oh you (still) redolent with the excellent fragrance (of love-making elsewhere), pray, do not touch me, smelling of fever that I am.
54. Judge the exhaustion of men by your own experience :
Oh you whose tresses are dishevelled (and spread out) like the plumage of a peacock, oh you whose thighs are trembling, oh you whose eyes are half closed, oh you who are greatly exhausted after having only slightly played the masculine role (in amorous dalliance), learn to know (by your own experience), the sorrows (exertions) that men have to undergo.
55. Infidelity damages love beyond repair :
Love which is first snapped (estranged) and then patched up, but which has (later on) directly witnessed lapses (on the part of either of the two parties), develops a bad taste (i.e. becomes insipid) like water first heated and then cooled.
56. Certainty of imminent liberation :
As the captive lady heard the twang of the bowstring made by her husband, which sounded more harsh than (even the sound accompanying the fall of a thunder-bolt, she wiped the tears in the eyes of her fellow captive ladies.

Page #37

57. Vain hope :
Oh captive lady, this is (only) the reverberation (echo) of a lightning-crash from a cloud thundering unseasonably. Oh you who are expecting to hear the twang of your husband's bow, why are you unjustifiably displaying horripilation on your body? 58. Pitiless :
“She endures, she endures", thinking thus that fellow, unskilled in the art of sexual dalliance, so completely exhausted her in making love), that her limbs became like withered Sirisa flowers.
59. All this for you :
Disregarding other young men, oh boy, and transgressing the commonly accepted) norms of decorum, she now wanders about straining her eyes towards (all) the quarters (i.e. scanning the surrounding regions of space for your sake (i.e. in the hope of seeing you some where). 60. Mighty protector of the village and charmer of ladies :
Just to day he has departed and just from today (onwards) the people (in the neighbourhood) will have to observe a vigil at night (for fear of robbers who would be emboldened to attack the village in his absence). Just to-day the banks of the river Goda will become yellow with turmeric powder (washed away by women from their bodies, as they do not see any purpose in having their bodies decorated with turmeric powder in his absence).
61. Anxious to avert discord in the family :
Though the brother-in-law harbours sinful thoughts about her in his mind, the pure-minded young lady refrains from complaining about her brother-in-law) to her dear consort who is furious by nature, for fear of destroying the peace of the family, but simply languishes away.
62. Pathetic and not ludicrous :
When, during the meeting with her beloved consort conjured up by her in her mind, she remembered the earlier lapses committed by him and began to quarrel (with him) in the void, she was pitied by her female friends and not jeered at by them.
63. Sympathy of collaborators reassures even under failure :
Tasks undertaken in cooperation with those who have a sympathetic understanding, even if not successfully accomplished (or completed), are, I think, far more successfully accomplished than those undertaken in cooperation with others (devoid of sympathetic understanding), even if successfully achieved.
64. Advent of the spring :
Look here, the tender mango sprout protruding from the stone of the ripe mangofruit looks like the tip of the tail of a lizard which has lodged itself in the slightly bursting shell of an oyster.

Page #38

9
65. Spider hanging from its filament:
Look here, the spider clinging with upturned legs to its own filament hanging down from the inside surface of the thatched roof, appears like a single Bakula flower woven on a hardly visible (i.e. extremely fine) thread.
66. Cooing of the doves :
Because of the screaming (cooing) of the pigeons which are resting round about the slightly visible metallic pin (or peg) (supporting the tapering wooden dome on the top of the temple-turret), the temple is sighing (shrieking) with pain, as if because it has been. pierced with a pale.
67. Speak out frankly:
If you are not his sweet-heart, why do you then sleep the day out, with your limbs. wearied, like a calf intoxicated by drinking the first milk of a cow (or buffalo) that has given birth to it only recently?
68. Suspicious :
In the very long winter nights you must be getting ample sleep, as your husband has gone away on a journey since quite long. It is (therefore) not good (i.e. it arouses suspicion about your virtue) that you sleep by day too.
69. Horripilation due to fear and not roused up passion :
If, oh charming one, I set down on your foot this tired foot of mine lifted up through fear of the mud, why do you then laugh at my body covered with horripilation (due to nervous fear)?
Siva's profound regard for Pärvati:
Just at the moment of Parvati's wedding (with Siva), her friends were convinced of her conjugal bliss (in the form of Siva's profound regard and love for her), when Śiva
discarded the bracelet made of the coils of the snake Väsuki.
71. Loss of charmingness:
A festival which has actually arrived (i.e. already commenced); the moon lingering till late in the morning; love which eventually becomes insipid (or embittered); and jubilation not accompanied by (generous) gifts - all these do not look charming (i.e. lose all their charm).
72. Cheer up; he will come back before the rains :
Oh lady whose husband has gone away on a journey, be of good cheer (do not despair). These are the peaks of the Vindhya mountain (in summer), appearing dark because of the black ashes left behind by the forestfire and not the first clouds of the rainy season.

73. Humble prayer :
Give me only so much love as you can (always) confer on me (and practise honestly). Not every one is able to endure the grief caused by an offence (outrage) to one's selfrespect given by one's dear consort.
74. Consolation :
How can she, who somehow for five days manages to become the sweet-heart of a man with many loves, aspire to (or demand) the sixth day ? Daintiness (sweetness) and abundance do not go together,
75. Contradiction :
Whichever part of my body he stares at with unwinking eyes, I cover it up and yet wish it to be seen by him.
76. In spite of herself :
Look here, although she is tormented i.e. overpowered) by intense anger, the sulkiness assumed by her towards her beloved consort dwindles, softly (or imperceptibly) gliding away like sand slipping down from the interior of the fist.
77. Sky-lady's necklace :
Look, there comes down from the surface of the sky a line of parrots (a flock of parrots in linear formation), looking as if it were a necklace interspersed with rubies and emeralds dropped down from the neck of the lady in the form of the sky.
78. Agonising sight of disappointed supplicants :
Even (enforced) stay in a far-off land (i. e. banishment from my native country) and even stark poverty do not afflict me so much as the sight of supplicants going back having failed to get (from me) their desired objects.
79. Revenge :
In the forests the traveller is protected (from cold) by fire made from big logs (or branches) and in the village he is protected by grass (used as bed to sleep on and as a quilt to cover his body). If however he stays (overnight) in a city he is tormented by the cold as if through anger (at its erstwhile frustration).
80. Sweet memory :
I still remember her face, perplexed by the locks of hair dangling about because of the shaking of the head as I caught with my mouth her lower lip, resembling a lotus made unsteady by a (perching) (dark) swarm of bees enticed by its fragrance.
81. Self-confidence :
The adult lady as it were proclaimed her good fortune (sexual appeal) by her disregard for ablution on the day of festivity, even when her co-wives had adorned themselves with great enthusiasm (or solicitude).

Page #40

82. Post-menstruation bath :
Oh you, who are cleansing with a pointed wooden splinter the etched holes on your reticulated bangle clogged with turmeric powder used at the time of your (post-mensturation) bath, whom are you going to make happy (tonight)?
83. Why love dwindles (or ebbs away) :
Love disappears by (altogether) not seeing (the object of love). It also dwindles by seeing (the object of love) too much (or too frequently). It disappears also because of the idle talk (tale-bearing or scandal-mongering) of malicious people. And it also vanishes just so (i. e. without any particular reason).
84. In whose case does love dwindle in this way? :
By not seeing, in the case of women; by seeing too much, in the case of low-minded (ignoble) people; by the idle talk of malicious people, in the case of thoughtless fools; and just so (i. e. without any particular reason) in the case of the wicked.
85. Worried about the future :
"In the case of those who were once high, it is very distressing (painful) for them when they subsequently fall down on the abdomen" -- thinking thus, meseems, her breasts have developed dark nipples (a pexes) (through chagrin as it were).
86. Will you still not have mercy on him?
Oh fair lady, although he has already a beautiful wife, that son of the farmer has become so (awfully) emaciated on account of you, that even his jealous wife has undertaken to play the role of a mediator (messenger) (in order to plead to you on his behalf).
87. Veiled reproach :
Oh charming one, even when you visit me as a matter of courtesy (and not out of the genuine feeling of love), you delight my limbs. How great must be the joy of those whom you love with guileless (genuine) attachment ?
88. Making amends :
As he was fanning (i.e. cooling), with the breath from his mouth, my hand aching because of the blow (that I had given to him), I smilingly clapsed him round the neck with the other hand, i.e. arm).
89. Killing two birds with a single stone :
Oh Krsna, while you are removing with the breath from your mouth, the dust-particle in the eye of Rādhikā, you are at the same time) taking away (ie, taming or humbling) the vanity (self-esteem) of these other cowherd ladies (cowherdesses) also. 90. The body turns away, but the mind does not :
Oh haughty (angry, sulking) lady, the emergence of horripilation on your back, at the approach of your dear consort, (even) when you are standing with face turned away from

Page #41

him out of anger assumed by you (against him), proclaims to him that your heart (mind) is leaning towards him.
91. Not yet completely appeased :
She knows how to intimate to him that a portion of her anger (though mostly) banished by him with conciliation, is still lingering (in her mind), by behaving towards him with restraint (reserve), even in privacy.
92. Incorrigible sinner :
Oh charming one, oh shameless one, tell me which of your lapses are to be pardoned by me, those that you have committed in the past), or those that you are committing (at present) or those that you will be committing (hereafter)?
93. Key to success with women :
Those who do not make a show of their authority, those who placate their angry beloveds as slaves (placate their masters), they alone are dear to women; the rest are only miserable masters (and not darlings of women),
94. Treacherous bee :
Oh ungratful bee, formerly you were not delighted with other flowers (save the Mālati-Jasmine). But now you have forsaken the Málati (creeper), because it has begun to bear fruit.
95. Insatiable longing :
Oh friend (or aunt), when at that moment I saw him, who was worthy of being gazed at with unquenched longing, my ardent desire to see him was not at all satisfied,"any more than the thirst of a person is quenched by water drunk in the course of a dream.
96. Desolation :
Whichever place a good man adorns (for sometime) (by his stay), that very place, he, by his departure, makes similar to a locality, where a stately Vața (banian) tree in the vicinity of a village has been uprooted.
97. You always stand before my mind's eye :
He alone is indeed remembered who is effaced from the heart for a moment at least. Love which has got to be remembered is already gone, having lost its foot-hold.
98. Love's memento:
The miserable damsel even to this day preserves on her cheek the circular mark of your (biting) teeth, surrounded by the encircling hedge of her bursting horripilation, as if it were a treasure (to be guarded for all time).

Page #42

99. Love's mania :
Let alone the heart-ravishing and extremely invaluable glimpse of the face of the beloved (sweet-heart). Even the outskirts of the site of her native village immediately enrapture, as soon as they are beheld (by the lover).
100. Unromantic :
My consort (while abroad on a journey) must have witnessed the mango trees (sprouting and blossoming); he must have inhaled the fragrance of wine; he must have (also) endured the exciting) southern breeze. But to him only the tasks undertaken by him are of paramount importance. Oh friend, who in this world sincerely loves whom ?
CENTO II
101. Even a moment's separation appears endless like an eon :
After enjoying my intimate company he walked away only a foot-step and then returned and embraced me. During that short moment's interval I felt like a woman whose eonsort has gone away on a (distant) journey and he himself) appeared to me like a traveller gone abroad on a (long) journey.
102. True love, the result of past religious merit :
It is (only) in consequence of abundant earlier religious merit that one becomes privileged to secure (the love of) a person who is so handsome as to be worthy of being gazed at with insatiable longing; whose joys and sorrows are identical with one's own; who bestows his or her genuine love on one; and with whom one has a reciprocal bond of emotional attachment.
103. Love transforms pain into pleasure :
A person who is dear to one, though he may be causing suffering, does really make one (supremely) happy. The breasts of a woman though tormented by the scratching nails of her dear consort (during amorous play) experience a thrill of ecstasy.
8
104. Unworthy people are highly honoured :
Even illiterate persons who do not know how to move their lips correctly (while speaking) are held in high esteem by people as if they were possessed of real greatness and are carried by them on their shoulders, like the weighing balances of goldsmiths which though not marked with figures (to indicate the weight of the valuable things weighed with them) are yet carried on the shoulders (i.e. are handled with care and caution) (by the goldsmiths).

Page #43

14
105. The enraged sweet-heart :
I remember (still), how my sweet-heart departed angrily with reddening (flushed) cheeks, stuttering out with throbbing lips : " for heaven's sake, don't touch me".
106. Clandestine carnal enjoyment has its charms :
Clandestine amorous dalliance, in which the lamp is put out by blowing air on it with the mouth, in which the speech proceeds in the form of whispers) with restrained respiration and is full of apprehension (about being overheard by others), and in which the lips are saved (from love-bites) with hundreds of conjurations is delightful (indeed).
107. Bewitchingly beautiful tresses :
The beautiful damsel wears her fragrant copious tressess, as if they were a column of smoke rising from the fire of love (smouldering in her heart), as if they were a magic feather-brush (broom) for infatuating (or blinding) the eyes of people, and as if they were the banner (proclaiming the triumph or climax) of her youthful age.
108. Radiant moon-like face :
Oh daughter (or young girl), just go on (cleansing and) whitening (the walls of you house). Do not desist from whitening them, thinking that they have been already whitened (by some one else). Do you not see that the walls are irradiated by the splendour of your moon-like face?
109. Heart punctured with Cupid's arrows :
The advice to assume a stiff, unyielding attitude towards her beloved) offered to her by her friends, which (advice) is (of course) every time received and treasured up by her (in her heart), slips away from her heart, riddled with the blows of Cupid's arrows.
110. Mother's love for her progeny :
The mother-crow drifts away on the surface of the flooded river, being exclusively intent on saving her young ones, which had ventured out of the nest that was standing supported in that manner (i. e. standing supported on a tree on the bank of the river in spate), regardless of the peril of her own death in trying to save her progeny).
111. Prayer to the Madhūka tree to shed its leaves and flowers slowly :
Oh Madhūka tree, forming a dense thicket on the bank of the river Godā, oh you who are bending under the burden of countless flowers and whose branches are reaching as far as the ground below, please listen to my prayer : you should shed (your leaves and flowers) rather slowly.
112. Impending termination of trysts und er the Madhūka tree :
The unchaste woman picks up the Madhūka flowers- the last of the season - which are difficult to find (i. e. which are becoming rare day by day as the flowering season is drawing to an end), and weeps while picking them up, as if they were the (charred) bones on the funeral pile of some (dead) relative.

Page #44

15
113. Beware, oh my heart :
Oh heart, clinging to just every place (i.e. person), you will be burnt (i.e. brought into trouble or betrayed) by some (unworthy) person, just as a long (i.e. big) log of wood which is being carried by the velocity of the water of a small river clings to every place (on the bank) and is (eventually) burnt (as fuel) by some one.
114. Calculated venture :
As the daughter-in-law of the farmer saw the son of the householder (or land-lord) standing on the bank of the river Godā, she began to climb up (from the bed of the river) by a path difficult to negotiate, (so that he may climb down and give her a helping hand).
115. Transference :
That lip-rouge which overnight was rubbed away by her beloved (with his own lip, while kissing her), that same lip-rouge is seen in the morning transferred to the faces of her cowives in the form of the flush of jealous anger). 116. Apology :
I still remember the pleasure which I experienced when I dragged him forcibly by his hair wound round the big toe of my foot, as he was silently lying prostate at my feet (in apology).
117. Wayfarer on a wintry night :
Look here, the wayfarer in the winter, rips open (i,e. rakes up) the straw-fire dying out at the entrance of the temple in the wretched village, and looking like a bear ripped open.
118. Too late a warning:
It is (only) now when the feeling of the love has like poison begun to convulse my entire body, that people are restraining (me from the love-affair). But then i.e. earlier) they were silent and had gone away, no one knows where.
119. Riddle :
The lotus-beds have not been crumpled (or crushed). Nor have the flamingos been scared away, oh aunt. (And yet, it appears that) some one has (from high up) thrown into the village-pond the sky with its face (surface) turned up.
120. You do not know the real situation :
How is it that you do not realise that she, being eager to have a glimpse of you, put up a (lofty) pile of several cushions (or reed.chairs) and (while climbing up) tumbled (without seeing you)?
121. Unbearable separation : . Oh friend, who was that accursed fellow that uttered the word “journey" (i.e. who said that her consort intended to depart on a journey), as a result of which the limbs of the young wife began (at once) to languish as if they were poisoned ?

Page #45

16
122. They know the "child” only too well :
“Dämodara (i.e. Krsna) is still (only) a child”. As Yasodā said so, the young women of Vraja (Gokula) smiled covertly, directing their glances at the face of Krsna.
123. Excellent excuse :
Under the pretext of (being unable to negotiate) the (steep and) difficult descent to the river Godā, she threw herself on to his chest. And he too closely embraced her, without (fear of) incurring any reproach for this compassionate assistance.
124. Inherited affection :
Very rare are those good men, whose affection marked by unchanging cheerfulness (facial glow), and waxing from day to day passes on to their sons like an ancestral debt.
125. Ingenious excuse :
The clever cowherdess, while standing near the chief cowherdess, under the pretext of complimenting her on her (exquisite) dancing, kisses Krsna reflected in the form of an image in her (shining, glossy) cheek.
126. End of the rainy season :
The Vindhya mountain as it were sheds off its skin, because of the clouds (first) clinging to its (numerous) precipices and (then) moving away and spreading all round as far as the outskirts of the sky (lit. as far as the regions of the various quarters).
127. Commencement of the rainy season :
The pulindas (sabaras) standing on the peaks of the (Vindhya) mountain and leaning on their bows look (with curiosity) at the Vindhya as it is assailed by the new dark clouds as by elephant-herds.
128. End of the rainy season :
The Vindhya (mountain) darkened by the (black) ashes of (i.e. left behind by) the forest-fires, looks charming because of the white (waterless) clouds, like Vişnu (Madhumathana) sprinkled with the milk squirted (splashed) at the time of the churning of the milk-ocean.
129. Admiration for even one's enemy's sterling merit :
Although the captive woman was distressed at the murder of her relatives (by the robber), she looked at the youthful robber amorously (i.e. with loving admiration), because he impressed her as a mighty hero. Who will ever harbour malice against (real, sterling) merit?
130. Her conjugal happiness :
Since quite a few days, the young wife of the hunts-man, proud of her loveliness and youthful age, has been scattering (publicising) on the streets her sexual attractiveness, under the guise of the parings (thin shreds) of the bow-staff (belonging to her husband).

Page #46

131. Consideration for the senior wife :
Emaciated by his intense) love (over-attachment) for his new young wife, the huntsman, in order to preserve intact his first wife's love for him, carries to the forest his bow though it is difficult to (wield and) stretch, as it has not been scraped (or pared).
132. Enough of husband-mania :
As the beautiful young lady said again and again during (the pangs of her first child-bed (parturition), “I have had now enough of my husband-delirium (or mania)”, she caused the (women) folk round about to smile.
133. All love is full of of deceit :
Oh friend, there is in this mortal world no love at all that is divorced from deceit. If there were such (guileless love), there would be no separation of any person (from the object of his or her love) (i. e. there would be no such thing as separation from one's beloved, which is always the result of deceit or perfidy), and if there were such separation, no one would continue to live in spite of it.
134. Rapture on seeing a naked beauty :
Like a wonder, like a treasure (suddenly discovered), like rapturous joy, like the attainment of heaven (itself), like the drinking of ambrosia-such was that moment (or short space of time) for me, when I saw her without any clothing on her body i.e. divested of all clothing).
135. Unpredictable nature of love :
She is dear to you (i.e. you love her) and you too are dear to me (i.e. I love you); but you are odious to her (i. e. she hates you because she loves some one else) ,and I am odious to you (i. e. you hate me, because you love some one else). Oh boy (i.e. young man inexperienced in the ways of love), I shall frankly say (to you) that love is subject to many vicissitudes (i.e. the way of love is unpredictably uncertain and crooked).
136. Well-deserved :
Indulging in jealous anger (too much) (and turning a deaf ear to his entreaties), she has nursed her sulkiness without any (good) reason to such an extent, that her darling (lover), although staying in the same village, is as good as gone abroad (for she is not able to see him any longer because of his estrangement from her).
137. Infatuating song :
In the forest full of the humming of the bees struck (i.e. inspired) by the breezes of the vernal month (or season), the cowherdess sings a song dealing with the theme of separation and infatuating the minds of travellers.

Page #47

18
138. Embarrassment of the young wife :
(To herself): I am bashful (by nature ), while his love is wild (unrestrained, exuberant). My (female) friends are (very) shrewd. (To her female friend): Please forbear; where is the need to apply red paint to my feet?
139. Lest he wander away in the dark night :
While yet the sun is shining (i.e. has not yet set), the clever house-wife holds (with her hands) the feet of the master of the house (i.e. of her husband) and smilingly washes them although he is reluctant (to have them washed), so that he himself begins to smile.
140. Irresistible fascination :
Even in fun I am not able to get angry with him, oh mother, although he sets aside all norms of decent behaviour, because these limbs of mine are no longer under my control.
141. Preparation for the task ahead :
Let her play the game called phuddilliyā. Do not stop her. Let her become proficient in it. Let her not (when she grows up) become distressed (or handicapped) because of the heaviness of her hips, while practising inverted coitus (or while assuming the masculine pose in coitus).
142. Too many temptations :
The village is full of young men; the spring month (or vernal season) is on i.e. in full swing); she is in the prime of life; her husband is an old fellow; there is old wine in the house) at her disposal. If (in the midst of these circumstances) she should not become lecherous, should she then die ? (i.e. there is no alternative for her except to die or end her life ).
143. Eagerness to hear the lovers's message again and again :
Howsoever often I may utter (before her) your message entrusted to me, the adult lady says "I could not hear (what you said)" and thus hears it (from me again and again.
144. Clever dissimulation :
Just as she looked at me (coquettishly) in such a way as to display her affection (for me) and her gracefulness, in the same way she looked at others also, in a bid to hide (from others) (her love for me).
145. Their son's first teeth :
"Oh, (just) have a look at this" with these words the housewife, with dilated eyes, hands over to her husband the jujube berry (plum), marked with the first two milk-teeth which have appeared in the mouth of their (little) son.

Page #48

146. Beyond rebuke :
Let alone what people are talking about the dilution of your love for me). Your own heart itself can bear testimony (to it). Your love for me has become so feeble that you are no longer worthy of rebuke.
147. Beware, oh my heart :
Oh my heart, you who are running (here and there, just) according to your sweet will, are longing for a person difficult to secure and are wandering on the aerial paths, you will, some time or other, be broken to pieces (i.e. you will break yourself on account of despair).
148. Reasons of the consort's (or lover's) indifference :
Either my good qualities are (after all) inferior (poor) (in their appeal); or that person (i.e. my consort or lover) does not know how to admire them; or I am devoid of all good qualities; or he has some person (ie, a sweetheart) who is more copiously endowed with good qualities.
149. Impervious mind :
Oh my friend, even though my heart is bursting (with lovelonging), how can I reveal that (i.e. my suffering) to that person in whom the sorrow (of others) does not enter, just as the image does not enter a mirror (soiled with dust or water--vapour) ?
150. Cupid's bullets :
Oh my friend, none of the other flowers torment me as much as the Kadamba flowers. Surely Cupid carries during these days (of the rainy season) his bow charged with bullets (in the form of the spherical Kadamba buds).
151. Emaciation due to separation :
The crow suspecting (or dreading) that a noose has been laid to catch it, does not desire (to eat) the morsel (or lump) of food though offered by the wife of the traveller, because the morsel (or lump) of food stands in the midst of her bracelet which has slipped down the inclined (down-ward turned) palm of her hand.
152. Speechless testimony:
His handsomeness was undoubtedly proclaimed by her teardrenched face, with its eyes turned away from (all) other men, although she did not say a single word with her mouth.
153. Well-meant fraud :
Her friends, apprehending the approach of the stipulated day (of her husband's return home), secretly erase two or three of the (vertical) lines, while she was engaged in etching them (on the wall of her apartment) (in order to keep a count of the days passed by her in his absence)

Page #49

20
154. Why the moon wanes and eventually disappears :
The creator, seeing that the moon, though full-orbed, does not attain to similarity with your face, takes it to pieces (causes it to disappear completely), in order as it were to fashion it (afresh) in a different (i.e. more flawless) manner.
155. A legion of days packed into one :
Just in the first fore-noon (of her consort's departure) she while saying (to herself): “to-day (i.e. this one day) is gone”, today (i.e. a second day) is over”, “to-day (a third day) is past" (etc.), covered the wall (of her apartment) with countless vertical) lines (or strokes).
156. Charming bashfulness :
Not even when the rapturous joy of coitus at the firstever meeting (with his sweetheart) is obtained, does a man at all get such delight (satisfaction), as when he sees on the next day the bashful, lotus-like face of his beloved.
157. Lethal glances :
The glances which the dear one sent in my direction, turning round after having approached me and passed by me, are for me the arrows of Cupid. To others they (i.e. Cupid's arrows) may well be any thing else.
158. Enviable lot :
Let the golden girdle, which has secured its eminence by the grace of Agni and Varuņa (i.e. by braving the ordeal of fire and water) (be priveleged to enjoy the ecstatic delight of mounting (i.e. lying) on your hips-the delight which is denied to others (who have never secured the grace of Agni and Varuna i.e. who have never undergone the ordeal of fire and water).
159. Wonderful :
If a person gives (to another) out of the excellent wealth (actually) possessed by him, what cause for surprise is there ? You (however) have given to your co-wives unhappiness (wretchedness), although you do not have it at all.
160. Incomparable pleasure :
Her face resembles the moon; the juice (sweetness) of her mouth is like nectar. But with what can be compared the pleasure derived from kissing her after catching her by the tresses and impetuously pulling her (towards me) ?
161. Be kind to me for preserving my life :
Oh young boy, my own life itself is more valuable and dear to me than yourself. It will not continue to exist without you, and hence (just to preserve it) I am praying to you for mercy when you have got angry with me.

Page #50

162. Sure indication of sincere love :
(The lover :) "Believe me (when I say that I sincerely love you)". (The beloved :) “I would never have believed you, if while I am weeping, my tears, falling on your back (while you are bending at my feet), had not been shattered (or pierced), because of the outburst of horripilation (on your back)".
163. True friend :
endship should be made (only) with a person, who in places and times of calamity, does not turn away his face in aversion) (i.e. remains constant) like a figure painted on a wall.
164. Horrifying :
Embarrassed by the first-ever violation of chastity on the part of the young married woman in the thicket (underwood) on the river-bank, the flock of birds flies up crying out as it were with the (sound of their) (flapping) wings, "how shameful, how shameful !".
165. Maddening fragrance :
Oh young boy, I tell you the truth. Nothing is impossible for the spring-season to accomplish. By the exciting) fragrance of the Kurabaka flowers I have in my mind become a lecherous woman.
166. Like a bird in a cage :
Oh young boy, as you were going away, she, directing her quivering eyes through one aperture after another in the encircling hedge, behaved like a bird in a cage.
167. Helpless :
What could she do (i.e. how could she help it) if she could not see you even though her breasts were pressing against the (tall) enclosing hedge (of her residence) and even though she had raised her languid body on the tips of the toes of her feet (in her attempt to have a look at you)?
168. Painful recollection;
The wife of the traveller, fearing that the stream of tears, welling up at the recollection of her dear consort, would fall on the lamp (and put it out), places the lighted lamp (on the ground) (at the time of the festival of lights), deflecting her neck i.e. head) to one side.
169. Painful parting :
Oh young boy, as you were going away, her limbs (i.e. her neck and head) turned indeed through such a wide angle, that streams of tears were seen falling down right on the middle or her back.

Page #51

170. Laudable mediocrity :
Therefore the mediocre alone are preferable. I shall have nothing to do with both the wicked and the good. (For) just as a wicked man distresses when he is seen, so too a good man distresses when he is not seen (any longer).
171. Salutary advice : 1 . Do not look at him with half-closed eyes (i.e. do not cast side-long glaness at him). Look at him in a natural way. (For one thing) you will be able to see him quite well (i.e. far better than if you partially close your eyes), and moreover you will be regarded by people to be an innocent (naive) girl,
172. Meek devotion even in anger :
I remember how she, sulking the whole day, attended to the (routine) household chores and (then) fell asleep (at night) at my feet, although she was greatly distressed at my lapse (or misbehaviour).
173. Do not be too fastidious :
(Even) after having first blazed in the hut of a cândāla (pariah), fire blazes (also) in sacrificial halls (or enclosures). Surely men should not be shunned (even) when they have fallen on bad times.
174. The real reason :
If your wife is a model of virtue and if we are, oh charming one, unchaste, may I reveal the secret reason behind it? There is no young man who is comparable to you (in sexual attractivenes, in the whole world).
17:. Solace in misfortune :
Although all my belongings were burnt in the course of the village-fire, still my heart is quite happy, because he (my beloved lover) took the jar of water directly from my hand in order to extinguish the fire).
176 The philanthropist's prayer :
I would prefer to be born in a forest-region even as a dwarfish (stunted) tree-stump with all its leaves shattered. But never would I like to be born in this mortal world as a sensitive (kind-hearted or compassionate) person eager to help others but not having the means to do so.
177. Sexual charm leading to rashness :
(It is only) the flood of the river God, and the midnight in the rainy season that know your sexual attractiveness and my fool-hardiness unbecoming (or unusual) in the case of women, (in trying to swim across the flooded river).

Page #52

178. Elegy :
Gone are those friends (whom we used to love so fervently); the thickets (bowers) (where we used to tryst with them) are now reduced to (withered, dried up) stumps; we too have survived our youthful age (i.e. our youthful age too has departed); the feeling of love (itself) (in our mind) has been exterminated.
179. Ruins :
On the breasts, faces and hips of women whose youthful age has left them already, there still appear the tooth-marks (made by their consorts), as if they were the foundation-pits of the delapidated residence of Cupid.
180. Captivatingly beautiful :
On whichever part of her body the glance of the onlooker fell first, just there it remained pinned down. (Hence) nobody was able to see (the beauty of) her entire body (in a single glance and all at once).
181, Fusion of poison and nectar :
Dangerous like poison in separation, she is very much like nectar in union. Has (then) the creator fashioned the dearest one out of both these simultaneously ?
182. Estrangement results from suspension of mutual visits :
Oh young girl (or daughter), by not seeing (the object of one's love), love vanishes by the passage of time, even in the case of those whose hearts were (once) joined together by (the bonds of) affection, just like water held in the two hands joined together (so as to form a bowl).
183. Cunning device :
Right in the presence of her husband, the young lady is taken to the house of her paramour who is a physician (by profession) under the pretext of having been stung by a scorpion, languid (drooping) and tossing about her hands, while she is supported on the hands of her (clever) female friends.
184. Practical-minded :
The farmer barters away his gown in exchange for a bull in the cold) month of Māgha (January-February), on seeing (or realising) that the breasts of his beautiful young wife are warm like a smokeless fire of chaff.
185. Preposterous :
Oh mother, they rob me of my husband (i.e. seduce my husband) like a bowl containing jujube berries in the hands of a blind person, and yet they harbour jealousy just towards me. (It looks as if) a snake's hood has grown from its tail (or the snake's tail has developed fangs).

Page #53

186. Sad recollections :
I tell the truth : I am (indeed) standing on the brink of death on the holy bank of the river Tāpi. But even now my eyes turn towards the bower of creepers just in the same way (as they did formerly when I was eager to meet my lover secretly in the delirium of youthful passion).
187. Elation with joy :
See how the farmer's daughter-in-law, having put on a new saffron-coloured (or gaudy-coloured) garment (saree), the like of which she had never got before, is not, though slender-bodied, contained in the village-streets though wide enough.
188. You have wonderful presence of mind :
Oh dear, if their is sufficient time (at one's disposal) every body can find pleasing words which give delight to the heart of one's beloved. But very rare are the persons who know how to speak the right thing on the spur of the moment.
189. Propriety :
Gaiety (free indulgence in one's desires) behoves a master; jealous anger (sulkiness) behoves a woman who is dear to her lover; forbearance lends charm to one who is mighty (enough to do harm); discourse (conversation) behoves a wise person; and silence (reserve) is proper for one who is ignorant.
190. First love-letter:
Even the opening word of the proposed letter, viz). svasti (God bless you or my greetings to you) cannot be completed i.e. written), because the line drawn with the pen wobbles as the pen is held between trembling and perspiring fingers. Dear friend, (tell me) what can I write in the body of the letter itself?
191. At the bathing place :
Oh friend, that young man while drinking the water flowing down-stream and aromatic because of the turmeric powder used (by me for decoration of my body and washed away) in bathing, as it were drank up my heart (i.e, completely ravished me) as I was taking a plunge in the water (of the same stream).
192. Adverse fate :
When fate is adverse, know that even that which has been carefully planned and commenced comes to nought (fails). The task undertaken does not in any way get consolidated (i.e. does not take shape as expected) like a sand-wall (i.e. bund made of sand).
193. Why are you so unkind to me?
Life is of course transitory. When youthful age has gone it does not return. The days (of man's life) do not resemble one another (i.e. if some days bring happiness, others bring misery). Why (then) are people hard-hearted ?

Page #54

25
194. The wealth of the wicked benefits only other wicked people :
Who is the beneficiary of the wicked even if they have amassed riches ? Only wicked persons (of course). The (bitter) nimba berries, even if they are ripe, are eaten only by crows.
195. Good-natured man:
A good man does not (ordinarily) lose his temper at all. (Even) if he loses his temper (once in a while), he does not harbour malice (towards others). (Even) if he harbours malice (towards others), he does not speak out. (Even) if he speaks out, he feels ashamed about it.
196. Essence of wealth, friendship, beauty and wisdom :
That is (real) wealth which one has in one's own hand (i.e. completely at one's disposal); that is a (true) friend who continuously stands by one's side in calamity; that is (real) beauty where there are virtues (i.e. which is attended by virtues); that is (true) knowledge (or wisdom) which is marked (i.e. accompanied) by righteousness.
197. Endlessly long night :
Oh you with a moon-like (charming) face and large eyes, the long night bright with moon-light, with its four watches (i.e. three hour divisions), some-how (i.e. with great difficulty) came to an end, as if it had a hundred watches (three-hour divisions), in your separation.
198. Behaviour of the wicked compared with that of a tabour :
A wicked person, two-faced and born in a low family is pleasing (in his speech) (only) so long as the food given to him (still) lingers in his mouth. But as soon as the food is digested in his stomach) he begins to speak harshly, just as a muraja (a longish tabour played at once on both its ends) possessed of two faces and never resting on the
ground (but suspended from the neck of the player), produces sweet sounds only so long as lumps of moistened wheat-flour continue to remain intact on its faces. But as soon as the lumps of wheat-flour are worn off (or peel off) it begins to produce bad (jarring) sounds.
199. In response to the girl's bewitching glance :
The daughter-in-law looked in such a way (i.e. so seductively or bewitchingly) at the traveller, with the pupils slightly turned towards the corners of her eyes, that although he was repulsed (i. e. not admitted into the house) by the master of the house, he still sojourned (overnight) in an unsheltered part of the court-yard, away from the eaves of the house.
200. Girdle of Vernal Beauty :
The swarm of bees, enraptured by the boney in the fully expanded lotuses which are like spacious apartments (or chambers), hums, as if it were a girdle (waist-band) of dark-coloured sapphires on the waist of the Goddess of the spring season.

Page #55

CENTO III
201. Lucky fellow :
Who will be that person, whose hand, a veritable unique tree bearing the fruits of many good deeds (done formerly), will (be privileged to) rest on your expansive breasts, treasure-jars of the God of love, resembling thereby a spray of tender leaves [placed on a treasure-bowl (to identify the place where the treasure-bowl has been buried underground)?
202. Preparation :
"I have to go tonight to the house of that charming lover of mine in dense darkness". (thinking thus) the young lady practises walking with closed eyes in her house.
203. Damaging to one's prestige:
Two things at once! (or quickly) lower a person's prestige, even though he may be as great as a mountain: speaking about one's sufferings to a person who is not tried (or tested) and not speaking about one's sufferings to a person who is tried (or tested).
204. Auspicious jar with a lotus placed on it:
Oh girl, for whom are you looking out, standing at the door, with your face lifted (or pushed) up by your protuberent breasts and hence resembling a sacramental lotus'placed on an uplifted (auspicious) jar?
205. Symbolic :
The Eranda (castor) plant, whose leaves have protruded through the openings in the hedge, proclaims to the young lads: "Here in this house lives a farmer's wife with so large (expansive) breasts".
206. Handicapped by her breasts:
Because of these accursed breasts (of mine), comparable (in their size) with the temples a young elephant, compact (firm), full, closely pressing against each other and protuberent, it is not possible (for me) even to breathe (without effort), much less to walk (all the way to my dear lover's residence).
207. Easy to win over :
Dear boy, turn your lustful desire on a woman, who has been delivered (of a child) since a month, or who has been pregnant for six months, or who has had fever for one day, or who has just left the stage (after a dance or drama).

208. No cause for groaning when the burden is shared by so many :
Why are you groaning (or breathing hard) because of your breasts, which are the (visible) heaps of the jealous anger of your rivals (cowives) (ie. which excite the jealous

Page #56

27
anger of your rivals), which are jars packed with loveliness, which are the temples (frontal globes) of the elephant in the form of Cupid (God of love) and which are borne (i.e. doted on) by hundreds of men in their minds?
209. Convenient excuse for cancelling the journey:
In the case of a man who is going to start on a journey and who is immersed in the pleasure of pressing (or being pressed by) the firm (compact) breasts of his wife, (even) evil omens, the day of Mars and the Vişti-day (Bhadra) are a cause of jubilation.
210. All this for meeting and greeting you:
For your sake, oh young boy, that poor girl sits the whole day under the arch on the entrance of the house and unceasingly languishes like the garland of flowers hung (by her) across the arch (for welcoming you).
211. Disillusionment :
As the itinerants drew near the dried up banian tree, they laughed and clapped their hands (in wonder and amusement), when a flock of parrots resembling the green leaves and red fruits (of a banian tree) flew up (from the tree being scared by the approaching itinerants).
212. To enable him to see her reaction better:
Oh friend, today I was forced to laugh, when I saw him fall at her feet in that manner (i.e. addressing her by the name of her rival in love), and also when I saw her raising and inciting the (already) burning wick of the lamp (to show to him that she was her own self and not his sweetheart as he must have taken her to be).
213. Inherent nobility:
A good man, striving to accommodate others, maintains an unchanged (ie, cheerful) countenance even while dealing with (his) enemies, and though he is (entirely) his own master, he submits to others because of his (intrinsic) nobility.
214. Clever dissimulation :
Oh young girl even if a man born in a noble family, whose eminence is the result of his wisdom and his (estimable) qualities which lead to his daily growing respectability, becomes estranged (from his beloved), he does not allow it to be noticed by others (but cleverly conceals it).
215. Better hated by the good than loved by the wicked:
Even if one becomes the object of hatred to a person who is eminent because of his wisdom and (estimable) qualities, that is a source of happiness. But even if one becomes. the object of love to a person despised by people, that is something to be ashamed of.

Page #57

216. Fickleness of women's hearts :
How indeed was it, that her heavy breasts, though once so full by nature collapsed (or became shrunken)? Or rather (that is not surprising at all). Who ever holds fa place for long on the bosoms (in the hearts) of women ?
217. Compliment :
Oh fair one, do not ward off, with the parasol of peacock plumes, the sun who is touching your face (with his rays). Let him (for once) find out which of the two- this face of yours and the lotus-is more pleasant to the touch.
218. Unfailing remedy : :
The sulking (haughty) sweetheart, her face turned upwards having been lifted up by her lover with both his hands, drinks a mouthful of wine (transferred to her mouth by her lover directly from his mouth), as if it were a medicament (cure) for her sulkiness.
219. Unnatural :
Oh friend, the nature of the accursed fire of love is something very strange (or unusual): It becomes extinguished in the hearts of those who are devoid of moisture (love) and burns fiercely in the hearts of those who are full of moisture (love).
220. Eye-captivating loveliness of each limb :
How can she be described in her entirety) when from any one of her limbs as one looks at it, the eyes cannot extricate themselves any more than a helpless cow sunk (or stuck) in mud?
221. Friendship with the good and the wicked :
Friendship with a malicious person perishes even while it is being made, like a line drawn on the surface of water. But friendship formed with a good person remains unscathed like a line drawn on a rock.
222. Just returned from abroad and yet wishing to depart:
What a pity ! Oh you who are given to doing things difficult for me to bear, you are already planning to start on a (fresh) journey. The curly tresses of my braid (only recently tied up after your return from abroad) have not yet become straight (even or smooth).
223. Nature superior to art :
Even technically perfect (sophisticated) carnal enjoyments, full of rapture because of repeated excitement of passion, do not charm the mind as much as those (casually) secured in any place and at any time, but full of genuine feeling,

Page #58

29
224. Too tight and close embrace :
With great difficulty he loosened (disengaged) my arms (tightly clasped round his neck) like a knot tied up firmly by an ignorant person, and I too pulled out my breasts, as if immersed in his bosom.
diseng med
andre societatii a celupes breuses his
225. Doubly loaded and hence emaciated :
You are borne (carried) by me in my heart) along with your sweetheart (enshrined in your mind), and yet, oh wicked one, you ask me why I am emaciated. Oh igno (you do not know that) even a bull droops (languishes) under a burden on his back.
226. Bad job of counting :
As she, appeased by your entreaties, counted for long your lapses (against her), the poor lady began to weep because the fingers of both her hands did not suffice (for the counting).
227. Efflux of loveliness :
Look, loveliness, not finding (any longer) room in her slender body, is flowing out, under the guise of perspiration, over the step-ladder of the three folds of skin (on her belly).
228. Incomparable beauty of Asoka leaves :
Since fruition depends on fate, what can be be done about it (i.e. how can it be helped)? But I shall say this much): "There are no other leaves (in this world) comparable with those of the Asoka tree".
229. Vain effort :
See how that damsel there is as it were washing away the deer-spot of the moon imaged on her cheek, with the pitchers of her eyes filled incessantly with streaming tears.
230. Difficult time ahead for lovers in separation :
The extraordinary, indescribable and massive exhalation of fragrance from the accursed) Jasmine plant, which is pervaded by its fragrance in every one of its parts) will now burst (all round) (and add to the torment of lovers in separation like myself).
231. Noble men aud great trees :
The minds of noble men are like the tops of lofty (or big) trees, bending down under success (fruition) and lifted up under failure (end of the fruiting season).
232. Reassuring jingle of the bracelets :
The jingling sound of the bracelets of the traveller's wife, which becomes garrulous (i.e. particularly audible) as her feeble hands are tossed about during her turnings over (in the bed) reassures the attendants (that she is still alive).

Page #59

30
233. Noble even in misfortune :
The mind of a proud-spirited person, just continues to remain exalted even in the last stages of his life (i.e. even when he is on the point of dying). The rays of the sun flash upwards even when he is setting.
234. Nobility consists in beneficence and not in mere self-sufficiency :
Oh mother, even a bird fills its belly (i.e. feeds itself ). It is, however, only noble persons, if at all, who are able to bear fearless (undaunted), the burden of lifting up those that are plunged in distress.
235. Wordly-wise people :
People who know the truth (of things) are not won over except by sincerity. Who can deceive an old cat with rice-gruel (as a substitute for milk) ?
236. Spontaneous love is not based on mutual obligations :
All the grass and water (needed by them) is obtained by the deer and does by each one's own (individual) and unaided effort from the forest. And yet they love each other (unchangingly) till the last moment of their life.
237. Indiscretion or overfondness :
Even to him who does not ask her (about it), she says "he has smashed my bangless". Either the poor woman is too simple-minded (foolish), or he is (extremely) dear to her.
238. Vain denial :
“Give her to him who is ardently desired by her heart. Oh aunt, do you not see that she is wasting away in her body)"? “How possibly can there be any one desired by the heart in our case (i.e. in the case of virgins like myself)"? Saying thus, the maiden fainted away.
239. For cooling off the summer-heat and for removing fatigue :
On the chest of her fatigued husband, who has already had amorous dalliance with her on a summer afternoon, she (i.e. his wife) places her moist luxuriant tresses from which flowers are dropping and which are still fragrant because of the cosmetics used in bathing (prior to the amorous dalliance).
240. Fresh tooth-marks on the glossy cheek :
This moon here, as it rests in the form of a reflected image on this fawn-eyed lady's (glossy) cheek accompanied by the ring of the still moist (fresh) tooth-marks (made by her consort), resembles a small plate carved out of a conch-shell and reddened with vermilion-powder.

Page #60

241. Error:
The dear consorts wiped off on the faces of their sulking ladies the rays of the moon, which were blended with the rays of sapphires in their necklaces, in the mistaken) belief that they were their (sparkling) tears mixed with the collyrium in their eyes.
242. Incomparably beautiful :
In this world although it is so extensive, and although it is full of thousands of lovely women, her left side resembles only her right side (i.e. no other woman in the world can equal her in beauty).
243. Adjustment and compromise :
As my dear lover plays (on the flute) I dance to his tune, because his love is changeful (or inconstant). A creeper winds its body round a tree though it is firm (steady) by nature.
244. Love's difficult course :
It is with great difficulty that one gets a dear lover. When one gets him it is difficult to have control over him (i.e. to command his unswerving devotion). (For) even if he is obtained, he is as good as not obtained if he is not as one's heart wishes him to be.
245. Dangerous play:
Oh what a pity! She, while longing for the pleasure of (apologetic) appeasement (by her lover) and ascribing to him some imaginary lapse when really there was none, has perforcc led her naturally straightforward lover to the path of wanton (unruly) behaviour.
246. Embarrassed :
"Counting off with the fingers and toes on my hands and feet, (twenty) days have now (already) elapsed since your departure. But now with what shall I count off (the days in excess of twenty) (since no finger or toe is any longer available for counting) ?” Saying thus the simple-minded lady begins to weep.
247. Vernal garment of the earth :
The earth shines (now in spring) with its Paläsa flowers looking (red) like the beaks of parrots, as if it were covered) with hosts of (red-robed) monks prostrating for paying homage at the feet of the Buddha.
248. Dangerous emaciation :
Oh you slender one, every full (rounded) limb of yours has already) become emaciated and every thin limb has reached the utmost degree of emaciation. What indeed is the use of continued) sulkiness (against your consort)?

Page #61

32
249. First impressions count:
It is not (merely) by (a cool reflection on) the good qualities (in others) that people are attracted (towards them), but by whatever they are haunted with (at first sight). The Pulindas do not desire to have pearls, but clutch at the (gaudy-coloured) Gunja berries.
250. Palasa-flowers and Raksasas:
Oh young boy, people dread the sight of the yellowish (-red) Palāśa flowers which make their appearance in the spring-month and which grow on the branches, just as they dread the blood-drinking Raksasas, who go out in search of fat, intestines and flesh (in order to feast on them) and live in Lanka.
251. Thwarted joke :
As she, beaming with a broad smile (or thrilled with joy) and trembling (with excitement), took a handful of (camphor-or sandal-) powder, with the intention of besmearing (or besprinkling) her beloved consort (with it), it turned in her hand into scented water (because of perspiration due to surging emotion).
252. Warning:
Oh slender one, wipe off your back which has become soiled (or tinged) with the (crushed) leaves of the Ankotha tree in the back-yard of the house (during your tryst with your paramour) so that, oh simple one, you may not be detected (and branded as an unchaste woman) by the shrewd wives of your brothers-in-law.
253. Betrayal :
Well may I cover my eyes with both my hands on seeing him. But how can I conceal my (entire) body, when its cilia become ruffled up (with ecstasy) like a Kadamba
flower?
254. Miserable plight :
The lightning flashes of the clouds light up (or illumine) as it were the poor woman, whose husband has departed on a journey and who is sitting, exhausted by weeping, in her house, whose grass roof has been blown away by the strong wind.
255. Meretritious beauty lacks real love :
Enjoy whatever is within (your) easy reach. How indeed can there be meretritious beauty in a thing brought up in a village? Oh charming one, what is the use of even that dazzling beauty, which is devoid of (genuine) love? (Also: What is the use of that salted. dish which is not seasoned with cooking oil?)
256. Sweetened medicine :
The farmer quaffs the medicine (decoction) though by nature bitter (in its taste) in such a way that nothing of it remains behind, because it has been cooled by the fragrant breath from the lotus-like mouth of the damsel, who was inquiring about his health (or well-being).

Page #62

33
257. The poor lady:
That damsel, who has missed (i.e. failed to fulfil) the tryst with you, searches here and there, in the thicket of reeds, for your sight as for the forgotten place of a (buried)
treasure.
258. Good-natured man :
How can unpleasant words issue (or escape) from the mouth of a good-natured man even though clouded (agitated) with violent anger? The rays of the moon distil only nectar even when it is being swallowed by Rāhu.
259. High-mindedness:
A noble-minded person, devoid of wealth (or power and authority), is not pained so much even when insulted (by others), as when he is honoured by others, but is not able to requite (the goodness shown by them in honouring him).
260. Closely guarded secrets:
A noble-minded person does not allow the secrets (of others) heard by him, to escape (from his mouth) even in the course of a quarrel. They age with him in his heart and at the end of his life (i.e. when he dies) they are burnt down (for good) by the (funeral) fire.
261. Hard luck :
The clusters (of leaves and flowers) on the Madhavi (Jasmine) creepers in the courtyards have become hurdles for the entrances of houses (i.e. they have become so dense that they are blocking the entrances of houses and are screening things outside). Even the comfort of looking at the (homeward) way (of their home-bound consorts) is denied to women whose consorts have gone abroad (on distant journeys).
262. Blue eyes :
If her eyes had not closed because of the rapturous delight of looking at her beloved lover, who could have noticed (i.e. detected) the (blue) lotus placed on her ear?
263. Bad time for the farmer's wife when the field is being ploughed :
As her husband sleeps (at night) (like a log) exhausted by the pulling of the ploughshare stuck up in the wet mud, the poor wife of the farmer, who is denied the pleasure of love-making, curses the rainy season.
264. Versatility of Cupid's arrows:
Salutation again and again to the arrows of Cupid, the arrows which are the friends of both misery and happiness (i.e. which cause misery in separation from one's beloved and give happiness in union with him or her), and which agonise, bring happiness, create wretchedness and again yield delight.

Page #63

34
265. Cupid's arrows :
They pierce the body, bring torment (to their victims) (and) there are no visible wounds caused by them. Alas, the power of the arrows of Cupid is such that the like of it has not been seen (or experienced) before.
266. Cupid's arrows :
The arrows of Cupid are manifold (or diverse) in their effect (or working) : Although they consist of flowers they are very sharp; although they do not (directly) touch (the body of their victim) they are unbearably fiery i.e. they cause unbearable pain); and although they pierce (or split up) (their victim) they give delight.
267. Versatility of the lover's amiable qualities :
They excite jealousy, intensify passion, make one endure (even) what is disagreeable (and) they do not allow one to die in separation (because of the hope of eventual union). Oh, his virtues (enviable qualities) are diverse (in their operation) (i.e. they are versatile).
268. Hoping to see you by chance :
Oh merciless one, today the poor woman, wearing a new coloured garment (saree), carried about (here and there), from house to house, the presents (of fruits and sweets) in the hope of catching a glimpse of you.
269. Poverty :
In winter a poverty-stricken person is tormented by his old garment, which smells of dung-fire, which has turned brown because of smoke (issuing from the dung-fire) and whose threads are very sparse (because of long use and consequent decay).
270. Hardships of a journey in winter :
In the morning in winter, the wandering traveller finds his limbs bruised by the sharp points of the blades of the grass (straw) (used at night by him as his bed) and he smoothens them by (gently) rubbing them with his hand moist with the water to be used for rinsing his mouth,
271. Captive woman's rescuers :
The mango-blossom, plucked with the finger-nails and carried (worn) by a farmer on his head, like a captive woman, is being pursued by bees, comparable to young men (wishing to rescue a captive woman).
272. Proved remedy against summer-heat :
Even sandal-paste does not soothe the burning sensation of loving couples so much as the pleasure of mutual embraces even in the unbearably hot summer.

Page #64

35
273. Good reason :
“Why are you standing (or sitting) with your tresses anointed with ghee ?” Questioned thus (by the dear consort), the young wife smiled, bending down her face bashfully and doubly wrapped up the region of her hips.
274. Considerate :
Since she knew the (poor) economic condition of her family, the wife of the poor man suppressed her pregnancy-longing just in her heart and did not divulge it, like the harsh words uttered by the (unsympathetic) relatives (of her husband).
275. Charming sight :
The mother runs (about) to search out (or to pursue) the small boy absconding through fear of the barber, while her fingers are engaged in tucking (or tying) up her dishevelled tresses and holding up her slipping garment (saree).
27. Inverse proportion :
As the young married girl begins to (gradually) unfold (or develop) her limbs, heartravishing because of her fresh youthfulness, her waist, her consort and her rival wives begin to grow emaciated.
277. Inverse ratio :
As the husband becomes more and more enfeebled by old age, more and more sickly and ugly (loathsome), he becomes more and more dear to his noble-born wife.
278. Terribly rare :
This is the young man, oh friend (or aunt), whom wanton women secure by turns (or again and again) with great difficulty, like the water of an only well in summer in a village.
279. No more any trysts here :
From the (huge) banian tree in the village, oh aunt, the pale-coloured leaves struck (i.e. rudely shaken) by the wind drop down, and along with them the hearts of the palefaced wanton women.
280. Love-sick :
Since she looks out aimlessly, gives out protracted sighs, smiles vacantly, and speaks unintelligible words, there must be something in her heart i.e. her heart must be set on some young man).
281. Prompt excuse :
“Oh master of the house, this one here has sought our shelter, so protect (or save) him," saying thus the wanton woman hands over her paramour forthwith just to her husband, who has returned (home) all of a sudden.
mauti

Page #65

36
282. Presence of mind :
"This one here has come just now (i.e. only shortly before your arrival) from (my) father's house", saying thus the wanton woman throws her paramour (as a near relative of hers), on to the neck of her husband, who has returned (home) all of a sudden.
283. Hypocrisy :
Oh daughter (or young girl), for whom are you offering your joined hands (i.e. to whom are you doing homage), under the pretext of salutation to the Sun ? Homages to gods are (certainly) not mixed with (i.e. accompanied by) smiles and side-glances.
284. Sad memories :
Who is that person, on remembering whom you are, under the guise of singing a song, weeping with deep longing, in such a way that the faltering utterance of the letters is (only) half escaping (gliding) from your throat choked with grief?
285. Covert invitation :
The night is full of dense darkness. My husband has gone away (on a journey) (just) today. My house is vacant (i.e. has no other inmate except myself). Oh neighbour, keep awake (throughout the night), so that I am not robbed (by thieves).
286. Potent medicine :
The mother-in-law tends, without engaging herself in anything else, her daughter-inlaw, whose life (already) stands in her throat (i.e. who is in a 'precarious condition) on seeing the first clouds (of the rainy season), as if she (i.e. the daughter-in-law) were a (potent) medicine for giving her son a new lease of life (i.e. for preserving the life of her son who is on a journey abroad and must be in a similar precarious condition).
287. Heart-enshrined wife of the heart-enshriend paramour :
Surely, you reside in my heart together with your wife enshrined (by you) in your heart. Otherwise, tell me, oh charming one, how could she divine (my) wishes (regarding the infliction of love-bites and scratches on your body)?
288. Despair :
Oh charming one, when you passed beyond the range of her sight, her eyes (strained and) reaching as far as her ears and with tears welling up and streaming down), as it were offered a libation of water to (i.e. abandoned all hope of) the delights of looking at you.
289. Melancholy sight :
Oh young girl, whom do you, whose beauty and youthful age have (almost) passed away and are (only) slightly perceptible, not make sad, like one's native place seen (after a long time), with its (familiar) land-marks (all) effaced (by the hand of time) ?

Page #66

37
290. Silent dialogue:
He spoke (to me) in the presence of (other) people, by means of his eyes dilated (sparkling) with joy. I (too) of course (just) consented (or responded) to him by means of my limbs drenched with continuous and profuse perspiration.
291. Unfulfilled desires :
(Loving) couples remain plunged in (or undergo) sorrow, their yearnings intensified because of the affection revealed by the reciprocal messages (sent through messengers), but their desires unfulfilled.
292. Your face betrays you :
If, oh friend, he is not your darling, why is it that when his name is uttered, your face becomes dilated like a lotus blooming because of contact with the rays of the Sun ?
293. Love-embrace :
Hail, oh friend, to the act of love-embrace, which like a stormy wind demolishes the tree of sulkiness, which sends a thrill of pleasure through the entire body and which is the prelude to the drama of carnal enjoyment.
294. Self-admonition :
Oh my heart, you who are reassured (fearless) because of inferring (the mental condition of others) from your own, have mercy on me now and forbear. Oh you who are attached to a person who does not know the true condition (of others) (i.e. who cannot understand the pangs of separation suffered by others), why do you degrade (humiliate) me (by making me dote on him)?
295. Disillusionment :
Your husband, complimenting (you) (on the loveliness of your face), laughed for quite a long time at the ascetics who had offered to your face (in the evening) a votive handful of flowers mistaking it to be the moon, and then felt embarrassed (on hearing the compliment paid by your husband to your lovely face).
296. Unable to hold out any longer :
Oh friend, as their glances sent out under some pretext, after their quarrel, by chance met each other, both of them began to laugh simultaneously.
297. You know best the reason:
Oh young man, when I am questioned (by my friends or relatives) about my daily shrinking limbs, even though you are within the range of my eyes, I do not know what and to whom I shall say (i.c. I do not know what reply to give to any body), (because of your misdeeds which are the real cause of my emaciation).

Page #67

38
298. Earnest prayer :
Oh you who have caused my limbs to shrink, who have taught me to weep (endlessly) long, who have made me transgress the rules of respectful behaviour (towards my parents), do not forget me (now at least, when I am on my last legs).
299. The ultimate solvent of grief:
The sorrow caused by separation (from the dear one), while impetuous love (still) waxes (continuously), cannot at all be endured, except by one's expulsion (from this world) by death (i.e. except through death).
300. My own fault :
Oh young man, when I (myself), by frequently extolling your (amiable) qualities in the presence of the wanton woman, have made you difficult to secure (i.e. have lost you to her), with whom shall I be angry?
CENTO IV
301. Critical moment :
He (i.e, my dear lover) too became embajrassed as he was (vainly) searching for (i.e. trying to find out) the knot of my saree which was already slipping down (of its own accord) and then I too tightly embraced him smilingly.
302. Hindrance :
Oh friend, today I could not help laughing when his hand vainly wandered about as it could not find the way to (the knot of) my fine-textured garment (saree), which was sticking tightly to my hips drenched with perspiration.
303. Gullible :
Today that credulous (or simpleminded) poor woman has, in the course of a (single) day, been taught langour, and vacant (unmotivated) yawning, by you, who had offended against her.
304. Insincere courtesy :
Believe me, oh charming one, you distress me not so much even by your lapses, as by these courteous utterances (of yours) divorced from sincerity.

Page #68

39
305. Blame yourself :
Oh haughty lady, do not get angry with your arms which are moving about in empty space for embracing your dear beloved (who has already left you). You have been made to weep silently today by your mouth (which has by its angry, harsh words driven away your consort. So get angry rather with your own mouth).
306. Godāvari's seductive banks :
Do not go out, oh daughter, in order to pluck flowers. The gods are pleased (even) with a handful of water (offered with sincere devotion). The banks of the river Godāvari uproot the character (of people) (by their seductive atmosphere).
307. Restrained sorrow:
Oh friend, why do you torment us, shaking your head and answering all our queries with an inattentive "hum" in the intervals of your sighs ?
308. Mere negation without swearing :
Oh young man, as she asked me about the truth (of your rumoured breach of fidelity towards her), I moved your dear beloved to tears when I could only say to her smilingly "not at all”, without swearing for it.
309. Impediment :
As the farmer thinks in his mind, where I shall be able to make love with her”, the grains of tuvari (Cajanus Indicus), which are being sown (by him in the field) and which have become wet because of perspiration (remain clinging to his hand and) do not fall down (on to the furrows in the field).
310. Vain effort :
Although the son of the farmer (or house-holder) has already picked up the cottonpods, still, behold, the hand of his young (newly married) wife is moving about unprofitably (on the field), displaying a rapturous ruffling of the cilia and having its fingers dripping with perspiration.
311. Self-oblivion :
Fortunate (indeed) are they, who know how to look at their dear lovers with sighs, tremors and rapturous horripilation. Women like me (however) forget even their own selves, when they just see their beloved consorts.
312. Puzzling :
Oh beautiful one, how does it happen that you forcibly (or violently) make your cowives so lean and emaciated by your waist, although it is by itself lean and emaciated and occupies a middle (also, impartial) place in your body?

Page #69

313. Unbearable separation :
Like a disease without a physician (to treat it), like a person reduced sto poverty and staying with his friends and relatives), like the sight of the prosperity of one's enemy, separation from you is difficult to endure (for me).
314. Breasts and clouds :
Oh king, none else except the breasts (of your beloved queen) can cover (i.e. occupy or fascinate) your heart which is large (generous), spotless (pure) and lofty (noble), just as none else except the clouds is able to encompass the wide, spotless (clear) and lofty sky.
315. Approaching paramour :
The wanton woman, who had fixed up a secret meeting (with her paramour) uuder a thicket of shrubs, listens to the rustling sound of the old (withered) leaves (fallen on the ground), as they are pressed down by the ends of the feet (i.e. by the soles) (of the gently approaching paramour).
316. Lucky ear-ornament:
The ear-ornament of the dark-coloured beautiful damsel, with its tip slanting downwards, as it were drinks the loveliness in the region of the root (i.e. upper part) of her cheek prominenlty bulging out (i.e. rounded) because of her fully developed youthful age.
317. Lotus-face :
Because of the sweet fragrance emanating from her face, the bees (also, gallants), forming themselves into a circle, rush towards it-a wonderful lotus, which has never known (i.e. sustained) defeat from the moon (as ordinary lotuses do).
318. Heroic effort to suppress tears :
Although she made a supreme effort to control herself, when her dear lover departed on a journey in the midst (presence of the elders (in the family, there escaped from her, as she closed her eyes, a tear which was (till then) clinging to her eye-lashes.
319. Absent-minded :
All her limbs became moist with perspiration on (merely) uttering the name of her charming beloved, while she was briefing the messenger (with a message to be delivered to him), (and leaving her house along with the messenger) she reached the precincts of his residence (along with the messenger, without being aware of it).
320. Painful nonchalance :
The sulking damsel does not distress my heart so much, even when she does not at all speak anything (ie, by her absolute silence), as when she utters indifferent (nonchalant) remarks due to her greatly heightened (massive) anger.

Page #70

321. Appeal to Cupid :
I shall worship your feet with my life, oh Cupid, for the duration of the next) twenty lives, if you just now) pierce him (whom I love) with the self-same arrow with which I have been struck by you.
322. Reconciliation :
I (still) remember the pleasurable sensation that I got from the pressure of her plump breasts, when she, though at first lying on the bed with her face turned away in anger), had her sulkiness (gradually) vanishing, and changed her sides (on the bed) in the course of her feigned sleep.
323. Challenge :
Having forcibly pressed (or twisted) my hand, you have gone away, oh way-farer. If you now can get away from my heart, then I would know (i.e. acknowledge) your power.
324. Eloquent glances :
Oh young boy, what (possibly) did the daughter of the village-chief not convey to you (even) in the presence of the elders, by means of her glances channeled through half-closed (or partially open) eyes, while she turned her face every now and then (in order to steal a look at you)?
325. Eloquent glances :
Oh young boy, what (possibly) did she, looking at you again and again, not convey to you, by means of her glances heavy (dull) with the burden of tears which were welling up from the interior of her eyes ?
326. Nemesis :
The Yaksa image under the banian tree, which used to be formerly placed as a cushion under my head by young men-to that very Yaksa image I am now paying my homage. Oh accursed old age, be contented now (at the revenge you have taken on me).
327. Lost happiness :
The farmer's son is internally (i.e. in his mind) consumed (by grief), in his house, which is devoid of his wife, when he looks at the places where he had carnal enjoyment (with her), as at a place from which a buried treasure has been exhumed (and taken away by some one other than the owner).
328. Sulkiness is simply impossible :
What sort of sulkiness can there be vis-a-vis a person, in whose absence (or separation) sleeplessness (or restless sleep), paleness and protracted sighs fall to one's lot?

Page #71

329. Lest I fall in love with you in my next life :
Only for this reason I do not die (i.e, end my life), filled as I am with grief (or anger), namely that, if I were to die, oh charming one, with my (irate) mind (or thoughts) fixed on you, I would once again become attached to you (in my next life).
330. Blind love :
Commit (all sorts of) transgressions (against me) without hesitation. I am, oh charming one, ready to put up with all that from you. In my heart filled with (admiration for) your virtues, your lapses, believe me, do not find any room (or footing).
331. Relief through streaming tears :
In the case of the poor woman, the tears, welling up from and gathering in the eyes, spreading down and betraying her recollection of her dear beloved, stream down, as if they were the overflow (catharsis) of her grief,
332. Her only diversion :
While striving to imitate whatever you do, whatever you say and whatever you wear (on your body), the entire) day does not become long enough) for her.
333. Hopeful resignation :
My friends, let him call me by her name. What is the use of saying anything (to him, by way of reproaching him)? Let his love become fixed on some woman or another. Do not ever get angry with him.
334. Procuress i
Because of this (my) long-living accursed body (also, crow), which though treated with contempt, always visits the houses of others in order to accomplish the missions (tasks) of others (also, in order to secure food), I have become disgusted (or sorely distressed).
335. Ingratitude :
A wicked man before long tarnishes the very place were he dwells while being treated affectionately (by his benefactor), just as a lamp before long soils (with its soot) the very place where it has been put up, fed with oil (by the owner of the place).
336. Futile :
In the case of a miserly person, the abundance of wealth, though in his possession, is of no use (to him), just as in the case of a tree oppressed by summer-heat, its own (abundance of) shade is of no use to it.
337. Adequate recompense :
Oh left eye, if on your throbbing (i.e. if as indicated by your throbbing), my dear consort comes (back home), then I shall, closing the right eye, look at him insatiably (eagerly) and for a long time, with you (alone).

Page #72

338. Peril :
That damsel, wandering for your sake (i.e. in order to find you out and meet you) in the village abounding in dogs, (also, ruffians), will certainly) be (some time) bitten (devoured) as she moves from house to house, like a wooden piece moving from one square to another on the dice-board in dice-play).
339. Mud-decoration :
Why are you (still) washing away this decoration of mud) given to you by him (i.e. by your lover) and quite unobjectionable in the (current) Phālguna festival, although it has been (already) washed by the profuse perspiration gushing out from your jar-like breasts?
340. The bee's fastidiousness :
If the bee, greedy for drinking (the nectar of flowers), desires to imbibe a different floral juice every time, that is the fault of the juice-less flowers and not at all of the bee.
341. Magnificent reception :
Oh young man, scattering (the glances from) her lotus-like eyes on to the street, she looks out for you as you are approaching, and while doing so she leans with her breasts against the door-frame (of her residence) in such a way that her breasts appear like two auspicious (water-filled) jars placed at the entrance (of the residence) (to welcome you).
.
342. Have mercy on her:
She has wept as long and as one (possibly) can; she is as much emaciated as it is possible for the body to be emaciated; the poor damsel has sighed until her sighs have come to an end.
343. Real life and real death :
When out of a (loving) couple, who have grown up (i.e. who have spent their days) in the midst of commonly shared joys and sorrows and whose flove has become deep-rooted over a long time, one dies, that one (really) lives, while the other (who survives) is (really) dead.
344. Deterrent :
Do not weep, young girl. The first spray of mango-leaves, adorned with the first buds of the season, and placed on the mouth (top) of the (auspicious water-filled) jar at the time of your dear one's departure, will restrain him from undertaking the intended journey.
345. His mere sight dissolves my anger :
The jealous anger, which my female friends had somehow smuggled into my heart getting a suitable opportunity, vanished at the (mere) sight of my dear consort, like a a clandestine paramour.

Page #73

44
346. Innocence :
When the female friends of the young (married) damsel said to her "A Kusumbhablossom (crocus flower) is sticking to your breast", the simple-minded damsel began to remove briskly the nailmarks (or her breasts) and her friends smiled at her innocence ).
347. Scornful glances :
Oh wicked one, these glances of yours, directed from your half-open, unsteady eyes turning away from me (or turning towards me) in scorn, since you are now no longer interested in me, as it were uproot my heart.
348. Blessed are they who do not love you :
They do not (or need not) give out protracted sighs, they do not (or need not) Weep, they do not (or need not) become emaciated because of separation (from you) - very lucky (indeed) are those women, to whom, oh charming one, you are not dear (i.e. who do not love you)
349. Love-inspiring glances :
The glances of the moon-faced damsel, which are lit up by her partially visible (sparkling) pupils, rolling about sluggishly because of drowsiness and turning obliquely, would be difficult to endure (i.e. to withstand) even for Cupid.
350. Good resolution :
Having had a narrow escape with my life, I have some how put an end to the sin of love. Oh my accursed (heart, desist now and do not become attached to any man (here-after).
351. Adoration :
As the young lady was looking at the fresh (i.e. newly made) nail-marks (on her breasts), her expansive bosom swelling with youthful age became adored (or worshipped) with the (two) blue lotuses of her eyes imaged (on the smooth and shining surface of her bosom).
352. Sun and moon, confrontation and coalescence :
Pay homage to him (i.e. Vişnu), on whose chest the (moon-like) face of Lakşmi, imaged in the Kaustubha gem, appears like the orb of the Moon divested of its dark spot (deer) and reflected in the orb of the Sun.
353. Warning:
Do not minister to the joy of your co-wives, conciliate your dear consort who is so eager for your favour. If you indulge in excessive jealous anger (sulkiness) (against your consort), you will grow emaciated like a heap (of grains) when measured out with a large-size measure.

Page #74

354. Saw of separation splits the heart :
While her heart is being torn asunder by the saw in the form of unbearable separation, a line of tears mixed with the collyrium (in her eyes) is falling (on her heart, i.e. bosom) as if it were a (dark-coloured) guide-line (for the saw).
355. Bad investment :
Oh young girl, this would be a bad investment. Do not act rashly. Oh my friend, hearts deposited here are never recovered.
356. Innocence :
Even when the climax of carnal enjoyment has been reached, the young wife ignorant about the termination of the sexual act and with her carnal desire still far from being satisfied, thinks in her mind "there is some thing yet to follow”.
357. Rewarding love :
May the hearts (i.e. amours or love-makings) of prostitutes be happy (i.e. lead to the happiness of their patrons)-the hearts (i.e. love-makings) which create (i.e. give rise to and abound in) manifold amorous (or coquettish) acts (such as kissing, embracing, smiling, sulking etc.) and which quench the thirst of all people (i.e. their patrons) for impetuous carnal enjoyment.
358. Pangs of jealousy:
Oh you, who have never (so far) experienced the sorrow arising from jealous anger (against your partner in love, i.e. against myself), why do you smilingly ask me about the cause of my emaciated condition? If you get a fickleminded partner in love (and become emaciated), then I shall put to you a similar question and you will know the correct answer).
359. Unheeded warnings :
Those pleasures for whose sake I had sexual relations with you, disregarding the warnings of my friends, it is those very pleasures that (because of your alienation from me) are now threatening to endanger my life (itself).
360. Jealous husband :
Her jealous husband does not allow her to gather the Madhūka flowers at night. But, oh mother, he goes out to gather them himself, extremely simple-minded that he is.
361. Warning:
Oh my darling lady, you who are departing (in a rage), dragging a portion of your garment (which was caught by me to stop you), go slowly. You are not heeding that the middle portion of your body i.e. your waist), distressed by the heavy burden of your breasts will break (if you move away so violently).

Page #75

362. Mutual accommodation :
As the wayfarer with eyes turned up (towards the damsel), drinks for long (i.e. slowly), with fingers loosely held together the water (poured into the hollow of his hands), the girl attendant of the wayside) water-fountain, (absorbed in looking at him and knowing his mind) makes the (already) slender stream of water still more slender.
363. Lost in looking at each other :
She looks (intently) at his face and the mendicant (too) looks (intently) at her grand (or lovely) navel, and (in the meantime) the crows rob them of the begging bowl and the ladle (for doling out the alms).
364. Indispensable :
He without whom one cannot carry on (even for a moment) is conciliated even though he may have been guilty of serious lapses. Even when a city is burnt down (by fire), to whom, say, is fire not dear (i.e, welcome) (for domestic use).
365. Unromantic, sordid village :
In this wretched village abounding in churlish fellows, on whom, can one cast stealthy side-glances ? To whom can one speak about one's joys and sorrows? With whom can one have a hearty laugh (or joke)?
366. Prospective tryst:
As the wanton woman performs the consecration-rite on the occasion of the auspicious ceremony (of sowing the cotton seeds) in the cotton-field, her hands tremble, because her mind is full of (lecherous) desires.
367. Preservation of the trysting place :
Oh pious man, although you are plucking the twigs of the Karañja tree standing on the river-bank with the intention of attaining to heaven, both of your feet are still touching the earth,
368. Preservation of the trysting place :
The wanton woman secretly sprinkled, with a solution of turmeric powder, the leaves of the banian tree which cast a dense shade (i.e. the fallen leaves of the umbrageous banian tree), apprehending that it would (otherwise) be denuded of its leaves by the travellers.
369. Vacant household :
Although there is no work to do on the field, the poor farmer does not go back to his residence (in the adjoining village), in order to spare himself the grief arising from the dwelling place which has (now) become lonely because of the death of his dear wife.

Page #76

47
370. Difficult task:
The simple-minded wife preserves, with her hands, the days of the termination (of the absence of her husband from home) (i.e. the days yet to pass before his return), marked on the wall (with lines), from (being washed out by) the water-streams which have forced their way through the openings (in the thatch) of the house, whose, grass-roof has been displaced by the stormy wind.
371. Monkey's reaction to pungent taste :
On the bank of the river Goda, the monkey, while feasting on (or tasting) the pungent leaves of mustard of plants, springs up, growls and beats its belly.
372. Dedication:
The farmer having for a long time carried about (here and there) the bell-string of his dead she-buffalo and having examined hundreds of buffalo-herds (and having failed to find any buffalo worthy of wearing it), suspended it (finally) in the temple of Arya (i.e. Goddess Candi).
373. Peacock-feathers and pearls:
Wearing the plumes of peacocks as ear-ornaments, the young wife of the huntsman struts about proudly (i.e. with a haughty bearing) among her (senior) cowives, who have put on ornaments made of pearls obtained from the heads of (slaughtered) elephants.
374. Affected charm:
Oh young boy, it is only through virtue practised in former lives, that a man wins. the love of (beautiful) women, who cast their glances in a crooked (rougish) manner, who speak in a crooked (indirect) way, who strut about in a sly fashion and who smile. rougishly.
375. Divination :
Oh you who are kissing my eye, filled with the irritating pollen of lotuses wafted by the breeze, and which has been already cleansed of it by you with a mere puff of air (from your mouth), which of the Gods are you (since you have divined my heart's real desire)?
376. Flagrant proof of infidelity:
Transferred from her face (i.e. forehead) (which you had kissed) to your face (i.e. lips) and from there to my feet (when you prostrated at my feet), thus moving from hand to hand (i.e. from place to place), the ornamental mark (on her forehead) has accomplished a very difficult task (indeed).
377. Embarrassment:
The colour (complexion) of the face of the beautiful damsel, looking with half-open eyes, becomes darkish as the farmer's son (her lover) moves in front of her (or comes along towards her), his ear adorned with Jambu leaves.

Page #77

378. Diplomacy :
Oh (female) messenger, you alone are clever in your business). You alone know how (and when) to speak harsh and gentle words (as demanded by the occasion). You should (therefore) deal with him in such a way that the scratched skin does not become white (i.e. you should scold him for his indifference or infidelity towards me, but take care that he does not become alienated from me).
379, Growing emaciation :
Oh charming one, unable to get a place in your heart, (already) crowded with a thousand (other) women, she for the whole day occupies herself with nothing else (but doting on you), and emaciates (still more) her already emaciated body.
380. Continuous agony :
Even for a moment, that beautiful young damsel does not slip down from my heart, having planted severe agony into it (by her separation from me), like the (harrowing) apprehension (or sense of guiltiness) caused by a crime secretly committed.
381. Good-bye to my sulkiness :
Rise up; I am not at all angry (with you). Embrace (me). Why are you in vain appeasing me? I shall have nothing to do with sulkiness ( jealous anger), which causes grief (or embarrassment) to you.
382. Spot-tarnished moon :
When the housewife touched her face with her hand soiled with kitchen-soot (i.e. with soot transferred to it while she was doing the work of cooking in the kitchen), her face began to look like the (spotted) moon, and then her spouse could not help smiling (as he was amused at the soiling of her naturally spotless bright face).
383. Sure evidence :
Affected (scorched) by protracted, warm and copious (massive and frequent) sighs and (then) sprinkled with the water of her tears, her lower lip, darkened (by the scorching effect of the sighs) and with pale white spots (here and there due to the cooling effect of the tears), proclaims that she is separated from you.
384. Nostalgia :
At the commencement of the rainy season, it seems to the wayfarer whose mind is turned homewards, that his (homeward) way is as if shortened, as if cut up into pieces and as if drunk up by him.
385. Lingering memories :
This (or that) young woman sleeps (soundly) with her fatigued limbs, plunged in abounding happiness due to the lingering memories of the enjoyment of sexual dalliance (overnight), thereby giving (i.e. causing) mental agony to her rivals in love.

Page #78

386. Warm on the surface, but cool inside :
In the autumn, the waters of large lakes have become internally cool and externally warm (because the Sun directly strikes on them), like the hearts of good-natured people (which though seemingly ruffled maintain their coolness and placidity inside).
387. First venture :
“What shall I do about the ignominy (arising from this illicit love-affair of mine )? What shall I say (on being questioned about it)? And how possibly will this (affair) end (or shape itself out)?" While speculating in this way, the heart of the woman who is for the first time venturing on the bold undertaking (of the tryst) trembles furiously.
388. Treacherous :
Get away; do not wipe (the tears from my accursed eyes, which have been created (by Providence) only for weeping and which, becoming infatuated by your mere sight, could not perceive your (real) character i.e. your fickleness and infidelity).
389. Absent-minded :
His heart vacant (or blank) because of anxiety (or sadness), thinking (only) of his wife languishing in separation, he passed right through the middle of the village, though he had planned to pass the night in the village (i.e. to stop overnight in the village, on his way home).
390. The root of the mischief :
That the entire) village, though having many young men at it its disposal (to help in case of emergency), was burnt down as if it had nobody to save it- that was the mischief of your (uncovered) breasts, heaving with excitement (or panic).
391. In the name of drunkenness :
That youth is inclined to be haughtly and you also, oh young girl, cannot brook haughtiness on his part. Under the pretext of drunkenness you should call on him and wash your hands clean on wine (which will not have been actually drunk by you, but which you will be only pretending to have drunk).
392. Sad memories of love :
The straw-blades which the young lady had given to the wayfarer (in the evening) for his nocturnal bed, scolding him (while doing so), those very straw-blades she collected (or swept together) in the morning, weeping (all along), (after the wayfarer's departure).
393. Strong-minded men :
Unalarmed in adversity, free from arrogance in prosperity, unperturbed in danger, strong-minded men display a nature that is uniform (both) in favourable and unfavourable circumstances.

Page #79

394. Agonising song :
Oh friend, who was it that sang today early in the morning, a song, remembering in his mind, perhaps, some sweetheart of his, a song which lacerated (or tore up) the wounds of my heart struck by the shafts of Cupid ?
395. Back number :
Seeing the protruding and huge (prominent) breasts of the beautiful young (junior) wife, the first (senior) spouse heaved a sigh, with her cheeks bathed in perspiration (caused by the fever of jealousy).
396. Sad memories of bygone pleasures :
Though tormented with severe hunger, the elephant, remembering the pleasure enjoyed (formerly) in the company of his beloved mate, allowed the juicy morsel of lotusstalks to wither on the tip of his trunk (i.e. did not swallow it, being lost in thoughts about his mate).
397. Duet :
“Oh my darling, be gracious to me". "(But) who is angry with you ?" "Oh fair one, why, you yourself!" "How can one get angry with a stranger?" "(But) who, pray, is the stranger?” “Why, my lord, you yourself!" "But how (or why) (am I a stranger)?" "That is the consequence of my (erstwhile) evil deeds."
398. Frustrated hope :
Keeping awake in the expectation that you would come, I passed the first half of the night (tediously long) like an year. (But when you did not turn up), the rest of the night) dragged on (endlessly) like an aeon, while I was plunged in grief.
399. Frightened and upset :
Restrain her (or hold her back), do not be afraid of her. It is not that she is possessed by an evil spirit, if she is thus roaming about (aimlessly). She is the wife of a wayfarer (who is absent from home) and her heart has been upset (or disturbed) and frightened by the sudden thunder of clouds.
400. Vaio toil :
Oh bee, if you could find elsewhere too, as much (abundant) honey as you find in the lotus with its profusion of filaments and pollen, then you will be acting properly in roaming about here and there in search of honey, as you are doing).

401. Lovely though soiled with meal :
The way-farers look with unwinking eyes at the farmer's daughter (emerging) from her house and dusted white with meal (while grinding corn), as did the Gods (of yore) at Lakşmi emerging from the milk-ocean (her erstwhile residence).
402. Commiseration :
When she was questioned . Whom are you remembering (or thinking of )?" she replied “Who is there in the world) for me to remember?" And then she burst into tears in your separation and made us also weep (by her distress).
403. Ultimate limit of high-pitched love :
Oh unfortunate woman, why do you now not raise up (i.e. help to rise) your consort, who has fallen at your feet? Just in this way even high-soaring love (i.e. love which has reached a high pitch) terminates (in abject prostration on the part of the consort at his beloved's feet).
404. Tutorial :
I have a keen desire to become your beloved (i.e. to be loved by you); but I do not know that i.e. how to win your love). Be pleased to teach it to me yourself, so that I may be dear to you.
405. Self-defeating sulkiness :
When he fell at your feet, you did not heed him. When he spoke endearingly, he got (from you) (only) an unfriendly retort. When he left, you did not stop him. Say, what did you gain by your sulkiness (or haughtiness) (against him)?
406. Frog heaving up and down :
The female frog with her fingers placed (i.e. anchored) on the bank of the lake) and with her shanks (thighs) moving up and down because of the ripples of the water, appears as if practising inverted coitus on her own image (reflected in the water).
407. Preceptor :
Through your favour, oh Kusumbhi plant, may young girls learn how to make inarticulate hissing sounds, murmuring sounds, slight tremblings of the body and shakings of the hands so briskly as to cause the body to perspire (during love-play).
408. Ob for a broad hip :
Oh my hip, why did you not grow as large as the street (or lane), so that I could (easily) touch that charming (young) man, bashfully slinking away from the elderly people (and walking along the extreme edge of the street or lane)?

409. Peacock :
The peacock drinks, during the rains, with its long-stretched neck, the water-drop clinging to the tip of a grass-blade and looking like a pearl pierced with an emerald
needle.
410. No sleep, no dream:
Lucky are those women who see their dear lovers at least only in a dream. But if sleep does not come to one at all, in the absence of the dear lover, how can any one have a dream?
411. Moon-light at noon :
In summer, in the case of a way-farer, even when he has set out (or is travelling abroad) at midday, the heat is banished (or allayed) by the (cool) stream of the liquid. (i.e. flowing) moon-light emanating from the face-moon of his wife enshrined in his heart.
412. Inopportune :
Say, who would not get wild when entreated (for something) at the wrong place and time? When the mother is occupied with the enjoyment of carnal pleasure, she curses even. her crying son, howsoever dear to her (otherwise).
413. Restless and sleepless :
"Sleep (now). Even the third quarter of the night is (already) over". Oh friends why do you say so to me? The fragrance of the Sephalika flowers does not allow me (i.e. makes it impossible for me) to sleep. Do you please sleep, all of you (now)!
414. Whispering campaign:
As if it were a matter repugnant to (and forbidden by) the king, one wayfarer whispers hesitantly (or apprehensively) to another "From the point where the mango fruit will grow, something (i.e. a shoot of mango-blossom) has come out slightly".
415. Insatiable:
How (possibly) shall I not remember him, who, even when sexual dalliance is over, still continues looking intently at my limbs in that condition (i.e. naked, and languid because of exhaustion), as if he were intensely interested in (i.e. eager for) sexual play (once again)?
416. Dried up lake:
The bottom of the lake was exposed to view in course of time, presenting a sight never seen before, with its profuse sludge drying up and the tortoises and fish sorely distressed by the heat (of the Sun).

Page #82

417. Radiant beauty :
Oh young girl, having a keen desire for clandestine love-making (or carnal enjoyment), you must not wander about at midnight, for (if you do so) you will be detected (or discovered) (by people all the more easily (because of your radiant complexion), like the flame of a lamp in the midst of dense darkness.
418. Destruction of the trysting place :
Though accosted, the young lady, for no apparent reason, gives no reply and gets angry with every body, when the shrubbery (undergrowth) on the bank of the river catches fire and blazes up.
419. Retort with added sting:
“Yes, we are of course unchaste (licentious). Desist from associating with us. Even (so-called) devoted and chaste wives behave in such a way as to tarnish the fair names of their families. But we do not at least long for intimacy with a barber as does the wife of a certain person (viz. yourself)".
420. Embarrassment :
Oh young man, wearing on her ear the pair of jujube berries given by you, the young woman went from the village-street (straight) to her house, because she was overpowered by bashfulness.
421. Malicious :
Have you then, dancing (with joy) at the difficulties (or troubles) of others, ignored him as he left with a sad heart, when unfortunately I had rejected his appeasements ?
422. Delightful, but unattainable :
My dear lover is like the moon, delighting the eyes when seen, pleasing even when merely touching with the hands (also, rays), possessing all the fine arts (also, all the digits) and unattainable (even) when sought after (also, because of his being in the sky).
423. Obliging horripilation :
The ruffling of the cilia (on her cheek) as it were quickly pushes up the lotus on her ear, in order to ensure that the lotus does not (by screening her ear) cause any hindrance to her hearing of the message delivered by your female messenger.
424. Transient love :
Oh mother, we are (i.e. I am) now (severely) distressed by (this) love which perishes in a moment i.e. which is transitory) and which shows itself only to vanish (soon), like the acquisition of a treasure in a dream.

Page #83

425. The crooked and the straight-forward :
The arrow forsakes the (curved) bow although it is pure (i.e. made out of a strong, elastic and perfectly flawless bamboo) and although it is furnished with the bow-string (also, excellent qualities or sterling merit). Does it ever happen that the crooked and the straight (also, upright) remain associated for a long time? 426. Growing breasts and waxing Vāmana :
At first, (only) dwarfish (undersized), then growing in size and height), her breasts have (finally now) produced the three (adipose) folds on the abdomen, just as Madhumatha (i.e. Visnu), at first only dwarfish, then growing in size and height), (finally) threw Bali into bondage (i.e. subdued Bali) for the good of the middle world (i.e. the world of mortal beings).
427. Majestic unto the last :
Although they are now fallen (collapsed), her breasts, which were (formerly) high (lofty), closely pressing against one another, adorned with fresh (moist) nail-scratches and which have already fulfilled their mission of fascinating the minds of young men), are still charming to behold, like two (valiant) warriors, lofty-minded, extremely invulenerable, adorned with fresh (bleeding) wounds (received in the course of fighting), who have achieved their task of fighting with the enemy and are charming to behold, even when they have dropped down (dead) (on the battle-field). 428. The poetry of her breasts :
Whose heart is not captivated by her breasts, which, like poems, yield happinesss on being squeezed (also, on being pondered over), which are large-sized (also, weighty with sense), which are joined together (also, free from literary blemishes) and which are adorned with nail-marks and ornaments (also, grammatical purity and literary embellishmentsfigures of speech). 429. Counsel of hope :
Oh young way-farer whose eyes are filled with tears on smelling the aroma of the flowers of the Kadamba trees on the way, be hopeful (i.e. cheer up). You will certainly see (again) the face of your wife.
430. I can endure it, but she cannot:
Thunder, oh cloud with all your might, just over me, the avarcious-minded (also, steel-hearted). But (for God's sake) do not slay (with your thunder) my miserable wife (in separation from me), with tresses hanging down loosely (on her face). 431. Son and rice-field :
Because of the paddy-field, which is darkish with mud, which continuously absorbs (i.e., is saturated with water and water alone, and which is fed with water upto a considerable height, the farmer is delighted as because of his (little) son soiled with dirt (or mud), exclusively drinking mllk (i.e nourished on milk alone) and conferring a high status (on him).

Page #84

SS
432. Dewdrops :
"Oh what a pity! At the time of my maturity (ripeness) (also, old age) I shall be thrown into contact with the thrashing floor (also, with wicked people)"- thinking thus the paddy-plant with developed arista (also, beard) and with its head lowered, seems to weep because of the dew-drops (trickling down).
433. Southern wind :
The wayfarer is tormented when touched freely by the terrible southern breeze conspiring with the spring season, just as the Kuru-king (i.e. Duryodhana) was tormented when freely (i.e. unscrupulously) touched (i.e. kicked) by Bhima allied with Mādhava (i.e. Kșsna).
434. Evening scene :
The lunar crescent on the first day of the bright half of the lunar month) and covered by the glow of the evening twilight in the sky, looks as if it were!a nail-mark (on the breast) of the sky-lady glistening through a red silken fabric.
435. Tell-tale nail-marks:
The inexperienced young wife now rubs (or wipes), now washes and immediately thereafter whisks off the (tell-tale) nail-mark on her bosom, not knowing that it has been made by her dear consort (himself).
436. Multiple lunar crescents :
Oh brother-in-law, do you not notice the series of lovely lunar crescents (i.e. lunar crescent-like nail-marks) in the armpit of your wife? Why are you in vain looking at the (lunar crescent in the sky ?
437. The unwritten letter :
How possibly can (my suffering) be conveyed by words ? And how much (of it) can be writtan in a letter? What suffering I have to endure in your separation, you yourself know (by your experience of your own condition).
438. Clever reproach :
Oh merciless one, how can she share equally with me the good luck (i.e. privilege) of being the object of your love, since you rob her (even) of her name and then give it to me?
439. Gentle manipulation :
Supporting (or balancing) skilfully the weight of his body on his (vibrating) wings, the bee drinks (i.e. sucks) the Kunda-bud, obtaining its juice, and while doing so, causes it to bloom.

Page #85

56
440. Impatience :
Even when the Mālati-bud has not yet attained to even slight development (i.e. unfolding) of its calyx, you, oh bee, who are eager to mount it and to drink its juice, are seeking to rub (i.e. molest) it.
441. Vivid memories :
Oh ungrateful, shameless one, I still today see before me (i.e. I still vividly remember) the village-sludge through which I waded for your sake (i.e. in order to meet you secretly) in the rainy nights.
442. Disillusionment :
Oh friend, blinded (or infatuated) by love (or passion), I embraced what I thought to be the farmer's son. (But) as I touched him, he turned out to be a rough (rugged) straw-man (set up as a scare-crow) on the village-boundary.
443. Noble-born modesty :
Smiling indicated by (the slight dilation of the cheeks, movements (inside the house) without stepping on (or crossing) the threshold (of the main front entrance of the house, and eyes invariably fixed on the (toes of the) feet-that is the way of noble-born women,
444. Only two alternatives :
Oh proud (or haughty) lady, there are (only) two courses, on this earth, for men who are elevated (or exalted) because of self-respect : either they attain to prosperity (i.e. fortune or riches) or they perish while wandering (in search of prosperity).
445. Morning-scene :
At the end of the night, the beauty of the (day-blooming) lotuses spreads out (with its fragrance) in the mortal world, while their petals begin to open out on being touched (or kissed) by the mass of the rays of the morning Sun.
446. Love is not impaired by physical distance :
Where (i.e. how immensely remote) is the sun in relation to the day-blooming lotuses, and where (i.e. how immensely remote) in relation to the night-blooming lotuses is the moon, their (obliging or loving) companion ? (And yet there is a bond of love between them). Similarly the affection of good-natured people does not waver (or flag) even if they are separated by a long distance.
447. Midday in summer :
Look here, at midday in the summer, the trees heated (or tormented) by the fierce rays of the Sun, are as it were shrieking (with pain) in the forest, because (i.e. under the guise) of the high-pitched (i.e. shrill) sounds of the crickets.

Page #86

448. Inverted coitus :
The young girl, practising inverted coitus (on her consort) with her breast-garment slipping down, her luxuriant tresses hanging loose and her earrings and slender necklace dangling to and fro (or this way and that), looks like a fairy (Vidyadhari) who is slightly soaring up (in the sky).
449. Decoration of a victim :
Oh friend, ever since she heard to-day, on the festive occasion, the mistake committed by her most beloved consort in addressing her by the name of some girl-friend of his, ornamentation of the body has become hateful to her, like a garland (of flowers) to a buffalo intended to be killed as a victim in some religious rite).
450. Southern breeze :
Oh aunt, the southern breeze is advancing with its fragrance. Stop her from leaving the house and going out. One who threatens to die even because of the fragrance of the Ankotha tree-in the back-yard of the house) would certainly die (when exposed to the fragrance of the sandal trees wafted by the southern breeze).
451. On the death-bed:
Although all the beloveds (i.e. beloved wives) of the village-chief had decorated themselves for following him in death (i. e. for self-cremation along with him on his death), still his glance fell (i.e. rested) (only) on his most favoured beloved, in spite of the excruciating pangs of death.
452. Different imports of identical utterances :
Oh friend, (even) identically worded utterances convey very different imports. Those full of affection (or tenderness) convey one kind of import, while those full of sarcasm convey altogether a different import.
453. Lip-service: Quite different are the words which go out straight from the heart. Stop. What is the use of these your utterances which are projected only from between your lips and not from your heart)?
454. Loose armbands :
Oh friend, say to me honestly, I ask you : Do the arm-bands (arm-lets or bracelets) of all women become bigger, while still on their arms. When the dear consort is away (on a journey)?
455. Loving concern :
The female elephant, enchained by the bonds of) (i.e. prompted by) her love for her mate, immersed in the sludge, moves about (in circles) around him, feels deeply distressed and stretches out towards him her trunk (as if) to lift him up.

Page #87

58
456. Modesty and tactfulness :
Victorious is the third eye of Rudra (i.e. Śiva), which was sealed with a kiss by Gauri (i.e. Pārvati), while his remaining two eyes were covered by her with her sproutlike (delicate) hands, when her garment (clothing) was stripped off (by Rudra) in the course of amorous dalliance.
457. Illicit amour :
Afraid of the stroke with the new (i.e. freshly plucked) creeper, she runs ahead, (and yet) struts (lingers) on both the sides, (but) (always) remains within the range of the sight of her brother-in-law and hangs on (i.e. keeps close to) him.
458. Eyewash :
As the faked (or counterfeit) petticoat (or under-wear) of the young wife is taken round (or publicly displayed) by her relatives, the (erstwhile, premarital) paramour looks on with (slyly) smiling eyes.
459. Emollient cream :
(In winter) the young lady very cautiously puts with her finger dipped in bees wax, as it were a white bandage (or dressing) on her lower lip wounded in love, under the guise of spreading a film of bees wax (on it) (as an emollient pomade to counteract the effects of cold).
460 Quick decision:
Modest (or noble-born) wives, bashful at the end of sexual dalliance, when they cannot reach their hands as far as their under-garments (kept away from the bed) screen. their pudenda hastily by embracing their beloved consorts.
461 His only favourite:
The young cow (clearly) demonstrated her unique status as a favourite amongst all the cows in the cow-stall, by rubbing her eyelid (or socket of the eye) on the horn of the vicious (ferocious) bull.
462. Banner of immodesty :
Behold, the daughter-in-law, in her eagerness for sexual dalliance (with her paramour) has hastily thrown away on the shrubbery (or bower of creepers), her new gaudy-coloured under garment, which (there) appears as if it were a banner proclaiming her lewdness.
463. The melting liquefying touch and glance:
Even an aged cow yields milk at the touch of the hand because of the dexterity of the milkman (milker). But oh young boy, it would be only with difficulty that you will secure a cow who yields milk (or liquefies) at your (mere) glance.

Page #88

464. Facial distortions :
Why does she at every step distort her face while moving along slowly (or gently) ? Why, her girdle touches (and irritates) the nail-scratches on her (thighs and) loins (made by her beloved consort during love-play)!
465. Munificence :
While her foot, delighted with the feeling of rapture, on being massaged (or rubbed) by you, left behind in your hand the lac-paint (as reward for your labours), it imitated the noble deed of king Vikramāditya (viz. placing a hundred thousand gold coins in the hands of his army-generals), when he was delighted by the overthrow of the enemy (by them).
466. Forfeiture :
Oh foolish lady, by becoming favourably disposed (towards your consort) simply on seeing him, you have missed (or forfeited) many a delight such as that arising from prostrations at your feet and impetuous and forced kissings (by him).
467. Moon-lit night :
Oh fair one, please be now favourably disposed (towards your consort). You can have quarrels (with him) easily and often (at other times). Oh gazelle-eyed girl, this gala night (festive night), illumined by the moon will slip away. (So please be gracious towards your consort).
468. Rehabilitation :
Only two know how to exalt the family of Aparnā (i.e. Pärvati) [ also, how to reconstruct temples dedicated to Aparnā (i.e. Pärvati) and how to raise up again to prosperity (i.e. rehabilitate) families plunged in distress ]- the beloved consort of Gauri (i.e. Śiva) and King Sālāhana, (Sātavāhana, i.e. Hāla).
46? Slippery :
Oh young man, do not climb this Pātali tree, which is difficult to climb because of the absence of notches (on its stem). How many has it (ie. the Pātali tree) not already ca used in this village to fall down after they had mounted it ?
470. Objectionable :
Oh aunt, in the house of the village-chief, there is the only Pátalā tree in this village. The brother-in-law, however, has on his head many a Pătala flower. This is not at all) good (or proper).
471. Bewitching side-long glances :
Other beautiful women too have, on their faces, eyes with long eye-lashes, white, long-extending and dark, but they do not know how to look (i.e. how to make use of them by casting side-long glances).

Page #89

60
472. Panic :
Your enemies, whose frightened (or nervous) allies have run away through fear of the charming rainy season and who have given up all hope of saving their wealth, behave (now) according to your will, just as flamingoes, whose enfeebled wings flutter through fear of the charming rainy season (which, however, is not agreeable to their health), go away to the Manasa lake, giving up their food in the form of lotuses.
473. Considerate :
In the house of a poor man, the (pregnant) house-wife, when questioned (by her friends and relatives) (repeatedly) about her longings (during pregnancy), asks for mere. water again and again, in order to avoid embarrassment to her husband.
474. Account :
"Who are they that have been uprooted (by us), who are they that have been led to their ruin (by us), who are they that have been robbed of their abundant riches (by us)?" In the nail-marks (made by their paramours), lewd women carry (on their bodies) lines (strokes) to keep a count of all that.
475. Conspiracy:
For the sake (or benefit) of reddish-eyed ladies, whose loins (or hips) and thighs stand out prominently visible because of their drenched garments after their bath in the afternoon, Cupid wields his bow.
476. Separation:
Alas, separation, having violently convulsed my heart, has uprooted (i.e. ruined) all my joys (happiness), just as the mount Mandara, having churned the milk-ocean, uplifted (i.e. extracted) the (fourteen) jewels (from out of it).
477. Dilemma :
He gets angry with unrefined (unsophisticated) love-making (on my part). He suspects (my) intimacy with some gallant in case I practise artful (sophisticated) love. these circumstances how possibly can unlucky I deal with my beloved consort so as to please him?
478. Self-immolation :
Alas, alas! what is this that that bee has done, oh daughter, on being separated from the Malati (flower or creeper)? It has thrown itself on to a bunch of Aśoka flowers thinking it to be a mass of lurid flames of fire.
479. Tutor :
Who (possibly) is the tutor of women in carnal enjoyment abounding in manifold blandishments? It is the bond of affection because of which everybody learns even (previously) untaught things.

Page #90

480. Stay-at-home liar :
Oh you who stay at home (and never move out), you are seen by me (i.e. I have seen through your untrue statement that you have seen him). As a matter of fact you have never seen him. For had you really seen him, your limbs would no longer have continued to be so healthy in their condition.
481. Appearance does not count:
Although he is soiled with dust and besmeared (stained) with mud, and although his bed is made of grass (i.e. although he lies on a bed of grass), still only a mighty elephant is privileged to carry the kettle-drum (on his back) because of his huge body.
482. Confidence :
"Oh captive lady, why do you not move (quickly) ? On what do you rely, so that you are walking (SO) smoothly (i.e. so slowly)?" Thereupon she smiled without displaying her teeth and said. “On robber, you will know it (soon)".
483. The favourite :
The cowives of the (favourite) woman, who was in her menses wept with big tears when they saw the region of the top of their consort's shoulder besmeared with (yellowcoloured) ghee (from the fare of the favourtite woman).
484. Irresistible temptation :
If people are annoyed at it, let them be annoyed; if it is censurable, let it be; what does it matter? (i.e. I do not mind). Come along, oh you in your monthly period, and nestle close to my side. I cannot get any sleep (without you by my side).
485. All-pervading presenee :
In whatever direction I look (even) there I see you in front of me as if painted (on a canvass). The entire circle of the quarters brings (or presents) before me a series of your images.
486. Sweet, bitter sight :
Oh charming one, so long as my glance spreads out i.e. reaches out) to you, you give me delight. But when you pass beyond the range of my sight, you torment me in such a way that I begin to wish that I had never seen you before.
487. Once bitten, twice shy :
The monkey, already once stung (by a bee), retreats (slinks away), shakes (from a distance) the branch of the Jambū tree), again draws near it (i.e. the Jambū tree) growling (or snarling), but does not take (i.e. pluck) the Jambū fruit, thinking it to be a bumble-bee.

Page #91

62
488. Once bitten, twice shy :
Through fear of getting a burning itch, the monkey in the leafy shrubbery, does not touch with his hand the hand of his mate because it resembles a slightly pendulous cluster of a stinging nettle.
489. Camouflage :
You will (indeed) get near him, oh fair one. Do not (however, make such haste. Let the moon wax still further (i.e. rise higher up in the sky). Who can discern your face in the moon-light, any more than milk poured into milk?
490, In spite of that, or rather just because of that :
On being separated from you the poor damsel has dried up (i.e. withered) although so full of sap (i.e. youthful vigour) (also, because she is full of affection); she has undergone sufferings although her heart has become insensitive (also, because she is innocent in her heart); she has become white (also, pale) though she is red (also, because she is full of love).
491. Fragrant autumn and wine :
Behold, it is the fault of the autumn pervaded by the fragrance of blue lotuses, if the cucumber (gherkin) creeper climbs up any tree (that comes its way) whether fresh or withered. [Side meaning: Behold, it is the fault of wine (saraya-saraka) pervaded by the fragrance of blue lotuses, if a drunkan woman encircles (embraces, literally mounts) any man, whether young or old ).
492. Agonising absence :
Indeed, without him (i.e. in his absence) the (spring) festival, wherein gay people are running about at random even over trackless regions (because of eagerness to participate in the public festival), wherein there is all around) the uproar of the jubilant crowds) constantly on the increase and wherein the musical instruments (drums etc.) are being lustily played upon, has become for us i.e. for me) agonising like a village-drum, which (when beaten to alert the people in case of calamities like outbreak of fire, assault by bandits etc.), sends people running pell-mell even over trackless regions in a bid to escape), which is accompanied by the ever-growing uproar (of the panic-stricken people) and by lustily blown musical instruments (like bugles, horns, trumpets etc.),
493. Frightful :
Who is not frightened by the speech (harangue) of an obstinate miscreant, (suddenly) appearing by one's side, as by a thief hanged by the neck, stiff and stark, by means of a noose, on a tree in a cemetery ?
494. Ridicule by the rainy season :
Oh aunt, on seeing the way-farers coming home without having accomplished their important tasks, the newly commenced rainy season as it were laughs with its (white) Kutaja flowers (at their failure to accomplish the tasks uudertaken by them).

Page #92

63
495. Gratitude for past obligations :
Although the branch of the Malati creeper had been reduced to the condition of a stick shorn of flowers and leaves, it was not deserted by the bees, remembering the (erstwhile) abundance of the fragrance of its slightly opened buds.
496. Fortunate coincidence :
Seeing the clouds rising high (i.e. piling up in the sky) the wife of the wayfarer, who had already given up all hope of living any longer (in his absence) and had hung down her tearful face (in despair), (unexpectedly) saw her husband (come back home).
497. Emaciation :
The (entire) band of her female friends, again and again taking back to its proper place (on the upper arm) the sulking woman's armlet, the (auspicious) mark of her not. being a widow (i.e. of her conjugal happiness), every time it slipped down (her arm) (because of her emaciation), has actually become a group of makers of armlets (i.e. their sole. business now is to put up the armlet on her arm again and again).
498. Stroke of good luck :
That the rumbling sound of the clouds was not heard by her as she had been rendered unconscious by the fragrance of the Kadamba flowers, was indeed all to the good (i.e. was indeed a stroke of good luck). Otherwise it (i.e. rumbling of the clouds) would not have. passed away (i.e. retreated) without (ending) her life.
499. Leaky roof and weeping eyes:
The wife of the way-farer, in her house (already) wet with the water dribbling through clefts in the thatched roof, drenches with the incessant stream of tears (trickling from her eyes), even the region still remaining dry.
500. Sugar-canes and noble-born people :
Sugar-canes and noble-born men give delight to the tongue (of others) (also, give delight by means of their tongues), are able to provide satisfaction (also, delight) to the heart, and even when crushed (also, tormented) they yield juice (also, affection).

CENTO VI
501. Deep longing:
The mango-buds are not visible, oh friend; the Malaya breeze too has not yet begun to blow. But the deep longing in my heart itself announces the advent of the spring-month.

Page #93

502. Mango-blossoms :
The swarm of bees cannot be hovering about with yearning in the mango-grove without reason (i. e. the mango blossoms must have already appeared on the mango trees, causing the bees to hover in the mango-grove). How can curls of smoke show themselves in the absence of fire ?
503. Proper adornment in love-making :
The braided hair dishevelled by reason of being seized (or pulled) by the beloved consort with his hand and the mouth scented with wine-this much alone is enough adornment in the case of young ladies while sleeping (with their consorts).
504, Natural adornment :
Village-maidens with their full (swelling) breasts and having the only adornment of a shiny (flashing) bodice, coloured with madder, ravish the hearts of (even) grown up men, at the time of Cupid's festival.
505. Wayfarer's plight :
Oh wayfarer, you who are (anxiously) looking all round at the surrounding) quarters, breathing hard (nervously), yawning, singing, crying, making inquiries, falling down and smiling, why are you undertaking this journey and going abroad away from your home and wife)?
506. Poisonous plant :
Just now, the charming girl (by her loveliness) creates infatuation in young men, although she is yet in her childhood. Growing up she will cause disaster (or will work havoc), like a poisonous creeper.
507. New fascination :
When the days of the wedding are near at hand, carnal enjoyment with the first wife has no more any place in the heart of the bridegroom, whose mind yearns for the love of the new bride (whom he is about to marry).
508. Forbidden delight :
Although it is censured by people, although it is harmful and although it violates the bounds of morality, still (intimate) association (or contact) with a woman (i.e. one's wife) in her monthly course affords rapturous delight to the heart.
509. Accursed pregnancy :
The daughter-in-law does not feel sad, in her heart, so much even on account of the burden of the foetus though very heavy, as on account of the fact that she is no longer able to have inverted coitus with her dear consort (because of her advanced pregnancy).

510, Household-burden:
The young married damsel first bade farewell to unrestrained laughter and (carefree) sauntering about, and then she took upon herself the crushing burden of the house-hold.
511. Irresistible attraction :
If people, who make a fetish of the other world (and of life after death), get angry, let them do so, oh aunt (or oh friend). But in spite of that my glance finds itself forcibly. dragged towards the lotus-like face of the village-chief's son.
512. Separation :
Like a painting that has been washed out (and has consequently lost its colours), like the trough of a water-fall which is devoid of water, like a cattle-stall without cattle-so is her separation from you.
513. Accursed street :
Even when you approached her and passed by her, she, having failed to have your body come into contact with hers, reproached (or cursed) the width of the street and also the slenderness of her own body.
514. Sore disappointment :
Oh fickle-minded one, desires clinging to you (as their object) every day crowd together in her heart, retreat from her heart and spreading out (again) towards you, make her feel restless (or agonise her).
515. Sore disappointment:
Not heeding the reproaches of people and setting aside (the exhortations of) the elders, that poor damsel wept for long with protracted wailings, when the hope of seeing you (again) disappeared.
510. Love-letter:
(My) heart rests in (your) heart, (my mental) glance (or sight) is turned towards you and fixed steadily on your face as if it were painted in a picture. But (my) limbs, which have become miserable being deprived of your embrace, have grown feeble (or pale)
517. Precarious :
I am (extremely) emaciated because of separation. The fire of loneliness (separation) is difficult to endure. My life is in a precarious condition (or is hanging in the balance). What message shall I send (to him), oh friend (with you)? You yourself know what is fit (to be done).

Page #95

66
518. Unfortunate :
Sleeplessness in your absence (separation) does not allow me to have the delights (or satisfaction) of seeing you even in a dream. Because of the tears (streaming down from my eyes), I have been robbed of even the diversion of looking out on the way of your coming back home.
519. Miserable :
Oh you, who are attained (by me) only in imagination, how long a time shall I pass plunged in suffering, when my hope of continuing to live is sustained (only) by (the prospect of) seeing (again) your face?
520. Gratification :
He cast a glance at her in such a way and she (too) darted at him glance, that both of them experienced sexual gratification simultaneously.
such a
loving)
521. Thrice blessed couple :
Her husband (always) keeps on looking at her face and she too is altogether maddened by his sight. (And hence) both of them (alone) are spoken of (by people) as man and woman pleased with one another (or as a thrice blessed couple) on the earth,
522. Aversion :
If you are provoked to anger because of some other offence (of mine) you become pacified somehow with the passage of time. But oh you, who are angry with me because I am odious to you, how (possibly) can I conciliate you?
523. All formality and no sincerity :
You just put in an appearance (once in a while) (at my place) and speak pleasing words; just that much, oh charming one, constitutes sincerity (or real love) (according to you and I must accept that). Tell me, who ever tears open his heart and shows it to whom?
524. Inexhaustible fiood of moon-light :
What is the quantum of the liquid (or water) in the form of moon-light in the lake of the sky, which flowing down in (countless) streams through the tubes in the form of the rays of the moon and ruining the prospect of my meeting with my beloved lover, never comes to an end (i.e. appears to be inexhaustible)?
525. Her eyes are there only for seeing you :
Although this place is full of charming young men, the tearful glance of the poor girl wanders about here and there), as in a (tenantless) forest, (vainly) looking for your glimpse (or sight).

Page #96

526. Irresistible temptation :
If you do not want to touch a woman i.e. me) while in the menses, why do you then remain (standing in front, though forbidden? (Look here), we i.e.I) have (now) touched you (already) with our (i.e. my) extended itching hands.
527. Precarious condition :
Her eyes reddish and heavy (i.e. swollen) because of keeping awake (for long at night), and embarrassed because she has put on ornaments in vain, the daughter of the villagechief is on the point of dying. To whom shall we speak (about this) in this place, where there is no physician at all?
528. Emaciation :
Even the extremely harsh mother-in-law was moved to tears by her daughter-in-law, whose husband had gone away (on a long journey), when both her armlets slipped down her hands as she bent down in order to offer homage at her feet.
529. Insuperable barrier :
When the (prospective) traveller saw the face of his wife, drooping and enfeebled, at the time of bidding farewell to her, he, fettered immobilised) by sorrow, was not at all able to depart.
530. Scandal-mongering :
Because of the accursed (mischievous people, who insert a pestle into every needlestich, I have not been able to look at my beloved lover though living in the same village (as I), even with ordinary (normal) eyes (i.e. glances) (much less with amorous glances).
531. Orly death will end my tears :
Dear friend, do not prevent me from weeping at least today for a (single) day. Tomorrow morning, when he will have departed, I shall not weep any more, if I am not (already) dead (by that time).
532. Subtle refusal :
As the dear consort said to his wife in her menses “Now come along", she lowered her face and doubly wrapped up her hips.
533. Deadly shaft :
Oh charming damsel, whom do you not kill with this shaft in the form of your sidelong glance, emanating from the bow of your creeper-like eye-brows and red at its corner, sharp and lethal ?

Page #97

534. Eloquent indifference :
That she did not (even) look at him with a straight glance, that she though openhearted (frank-natured) did not even) speak to him, that she did not (even) greet him (i.e, did not observe even the ordinary courtesies due to a visitor)-just from all that clever observers drew their own conclusions (about her vanishing love for him).
535. Paralysed by grief :
As many steps as she went out, thirsting for your sight on hearing your voice, she had to be (physically) carried back those same steps, after you had gone away (beyond the range of her eyes).
536. No confrontation :
I shall look at him with a frown, scold him, turn my face away from him. I shall do anything that you ask me to do, oh friends, provided I do not actually) see him.
537. Apathy :
He looks at me now with eyes devoid of jealousy and anger, and dispassionate, just in the way one person looks (with unconcern) at another (with whom he is not in any way connected and who is a complete stranger). How is it then possible for me to help dwindling in my body?
538. Love stifled by coynees :
The love induced (in her) by your sight comes to an end, just in her heart, because of her coyness, like the desire cherished by an indigent person.
539. All-too-fond husband :
The wind is blowing (or lifting) up your saree. Cover up your thighs which have the circular tooth-marks clearly visible on them. Oh daughter (or young girl), do not make your all-too--fond consort an object of derision for people.
540. Unmistakable evidence of doting love :
As the mother of the young wife sees the tooth-marks on her thighs, when her under garment is lifted up by the wind, she is very happy, as if it were the exposed) lid (or cover) of a buried treasure-trough.
541. Forest-fire :
After burning down the entire forest, the fire fatigued by jumping over even and uneven places, goes down to the river catching hold of the grass hanging (or dangling) from the slope of the bank), as if it were thirsty (and wanted to drink the water of the river).

Page #98

69
542. Triangle of love:
Oh foolish heart, you will have to face (or endure) even some other (worse) thing (or suffering) (i. e. even death). Do not despair because of the present (minor) sorrow. Oh you, aspiring to get the love of a person who is attached to another (woman), of what moment is the present sorrow (of mere separation) to you?
543. Strange logic:
"Oh miscreant (or villain), she to whom you are hateful is extremely dear (to you)", thinking thus the wanton woman does not trust her wicked heart (to entertain hatred for her beloved as it is full of love for him).
544. Right to live:
Granted, oh charming one, that she shines because of her amiable qualities and her beauty. Granted that I am devoid of all good qualities. Should (then) every one who is not similar to her (straight away) die (ie. court death)?
545. Housewife :
Only those are (real) housewives, who know (i.e. constantly keep before their eyes) what is there and what is not there in the house (or what is beneficial and what is not beneficial to the family) and what conduces to the sorrows and joys of the family. The others only lead men to ruin and decay.
546. Housewife :
To meet reproaches with (friendly or genial) smiles, insulting (annoying) remarks with kindly (or polite) service and wranglings with (silent) tears, that is the way of noble women (or good housewives.)
547. Elementary courtesy:
Well may one not exchange words (with another man's wife like me) considering that that would be disapproved (or resented) by people. Who, however, would not cast a (mere) glance on (even) an enemy appearing in front of him?
548. Hypocrisy :
"Do you think that every woman who dwindles in her body does so because of you, since you are asking me smilingly (about the cause of my emaciation, though you know it very well)? That is quite normal in my case in summer". Saying so she began straight away to weep violently.
549. Love alone makes one happy :
He whose beloved is entirely submissive to his will (or dedicated to him), considers himself to be fortunate even in adverse circumstances. But he who is forsaken by his beloved is unfortunate, even if he is the master of the world.

Page #99

70
550. Love is irresistible and full of contradictions :
Why do you weep and why do you become emaciated ? Oh fair one, why do you get angry with all and sundry ? Love is full of strange contradictions. Tell me, who can stop it (i.e. cure its nature)?
551. Ancient legend :
Those young men, that rural grandeur (or splendour), that youthful age of ours (i.e. of mine)-people talk of them all like an anecdote (belonging to the remote past), and we too (i.e. I too) listen (approvingly) to what they say.
552. Too late now to get angry with him:
While her cheeks were drenched with tears and her lower lip was throbbing, she said smiling with embarrassment “Why should I get angry (with my consort) even now when (his, love (for me) has already attained to the state of an oath (i.e. when his love for me is no longer a reality and is no longer directly experienced by me, but has got to be asserted by him on oath)?"
553. Contrast :
He who (formerly) used to kiss me eagerly even when my face was anointed with yellow-coloured ghee (and when I was unapprogchable, being in my menses), he is now tardy in touching me even when I am adorned with ornaments (i.e. out of the menses).
554. Do not go by external appearances :
Oh mother, do not reject her simply because her body is covered with a thick (roughtextured) garment. Even the pair of garments used (normally) for covering the body, is of course removed at the time of amorous enjoyment.
555. Self-defeating sulkiness :
It is quite true that after every quarrel the delights of carnal enjoyment are ever new (i.e. are indulged in afresh). But oh sulking damsel, (prolonged and frequent) sulkiness destroys even intense love.
556. Belated regret :
Intoxicated with haughtiness (or pride), I picked up a quarrel (with my beloved) without any (apparent)reason, and by abstaining from meeting him (.e. by avoiding him) I destroyed our mutual love by my defiant and arrogant attitude (or speech).
557. Beau ideal :
Let people learn from you how to speak pleasing things, and also show to give (i.e. make a show of) excessive love even to persons whom they hate and how to appease those who are angry.

Page #100

558. Cling to her and leave me alone :
Let her, who is skilled in all enticing blandishments divorced from genuine feeling, alone make love with you, who regard yourself to be very clever. Enough of our (i.e. my) making love (with you).
559. Ungrateful :
He for whose sake, oh dear friend, I set aside modesty, transgressed the bounds of morality and caused defamatory remarks to be made (about me), that dear one has now become indifferent towards me.
560. Love-hungry glances :
How long and in what measure will my conjugal happiness last, while it is being openly before my eyes) robbed (or plundered) by (other) women's side-long glances, hungry with sexual desire, my dear consort being fickle-hearted (or unsteady in his love) ?
561. Once in a blue moon in his wife's arms :
Do you embrace me closely, suddenly awakened by the cry of the cock in the early morning) that you are. Do not be nervous in your own house, thinking (or suspecting) that you are sojourning in the residence of some other woman (than your wife).
562. Excellent opportunity :
Who (possibly) will tell him (i.e. my paramour) that the vicious dog is already) dead, that the mother-in-law is intoxicated with festival-wine (i.e. wine prepared for the festival by the neighbours and presented to her) and that the wooden barricade (of the compoundwall) of the house has been smashed by the buffalo ?
.563. Alluring but dangerous :
The robbers cast again and again their nervous and covetuous glances at the lofty breasts of the hero's wife (abducted by them), as at a treasure-bowl guarded by a snake.
564. Healing medicine :
The sulking lady drinks (or sips) drop by drop the wine transferred by her beloved consort to her mouth from his own, grasping her tresses and forcibly raising her mouth, as if it were a healing medicine against her sulkiness.
565. Close embrace :
The Vindhya mountain, being pressed (or nudged) by the beauty of the rainy season with her breasts in the form of the clouds, has his limbs adorned with the rapturous ruffling of the cilia in the form of the new grass-shoots.

Page #101

566. Unique among rivers :
Granted that other rivers too have dense and extensive stretches of woods (on their banks), garrulous water-fowls and cool (refreshing) water. The river Revā (Narmadā), however, has some unique qualities (peculiar to it and not shared by other rivers).
567. Complaint :
Oh Narmadā, I shall tell (i.e. complain) to the ocean (your consort), that today you have, setting aside all civility (or good manners), damaged with your swirling flood the reed-bower in your vicinity (the bower which was to serve as a trysting place for me and my lover).
568. Lofty breasts :
Come on, just have a look at her lofty (protruding) breasts, resembling ripe Mālūra (Bilva) fruits, which (lofty breasts) find no place on (i.e. cannot be contained on her bosom and are therefore like the soaring desires of noble-minded ambitious) persons, which cannot be contained in their bosoms (i.e. hearts).
569. Storm-scene :
The heart of the dark cloud having its body split up (shattered) by reason of being seized and pushed (or driven) by the strong gale and by reason of its crashing (or colliding) on the mountain-peak, is as it were palpitating (or fluttering) under the guise of the (vibrant) lightning flashes.
570. Storm-scene :
On the belly of the cloud-buffalo, howling with pain as it has been split asunder by the pointed tip (extremity) of the rainbow, the lightning-flashes appear like (its) entrails (breaking through and dangling).
571. Cupid's javelin :
The perplexed (bewildered) way-farers behold the fresh shoot (or sprout) on the top of the mango-tree, as if it were a javelin of Cupid reddened with a mass of blood (of his victims).
572. Radical fault of Woburneys).
It is the fault of women themselves, if their consorts are proud (enthusiastic about going abroad con distant journeys). Unless two or three (women) die (during their consorts' absence from home), separations will not come to an end (in the case of other women).
573. Precarious condition :
Oh young man, I pray, go quickly. The poor girl is (almost) dying; (so) enongh of (further) delay. She will continue to live (or she will be saved) by your (mere) sight. There is no doubt about this.

Page #102

574. United for ever :
Even an out-line picture, in which the use of colours has been dispensed with, has this only advantage that the dear person shown as tightly embraced (in it) is not released even for a moment. [Side-meaning: In the case of the mind-born God of love (i.e. the feeling of love) although it has no regard for the class (or social status) (of the persons loving one another), there is this advantage that the dear person (once) closely embraced is not released even for a moment (thereafter) ].
575. Violence :
Greedy for drinking the first out-pouring of the juice (nectar) in the flower-bud), the bee does not know how to unfold the bud whose ligaments (i.e. over-lapping petals) still remain unparted, but spoils (da mages) its tip (or apex) (by biting at it).
576. Ravaging hand of time :
The Vañjula plants on the slope of the river-bank, whose flower-clusters broke (or snapped) under the burden of the bees perching on them, have, oh dear friend, now, with the passage of time, been reduced to mere stumps (or stubs).
577. Foolish deer :
Although the forest-region has been kindled by the masses of the flames of the uninterruptedly spreading fire, the simple-minded deer does not rush out, thinking that it is a forest of Kiiņśuka trees (covered with red flowers).
578. Embarrassing revelation :
The Sārikā (starling or female parrot) blurted out in the presence of my elders my adroitness in carnal enjoyment in such a manner, that at that moment, oh mother, I did not know where I should go (and hide myself) (because of shame).
579. Embarrassing revelation :
Oh mother, (please) take away the Sārikā in the cage out of the bed-chamber. It divulges to the world the confidential remarks (uttered in the privacy of the bed-chamber, during amorous enjoyment).
580. Gentle manipulation :
Thinking of nothing else, the bee carefully (sedulously) guards (i.e. manipulates gently) the Mälati-bud resembling a slightly protruding tooth-point of a panther, as if it were his life itself.
581. No end to his endearments :
There is (in fact) nothing which the bee does not wish to do to the Kunda creeper, which is so pleasing (or delightful) to it because of the fragrance of the nectar gushing out from the recently unfolded petals (of its buds).

Page #103

74
582. Completely enraptured :
Oh friend, I do not (at all) know what are those special (extraordinary) charming qualities possessed by the Kunda creeper, in consequence of which the bees swarm (or speed) towards it to drink it just with their eyes (forgetting to drink it with their mouths).
583. Cupid's armoury :
The God of love (i.e. Cupid) dwells with his entire) weapons in perfect fighting trim, in beloved women, when, at the time of practising inverted coitus, their thighs tremble slightly, their eyes are closed and their tresses dangle (or flutter) about in disarray.
584. Eye-sore :
Whatever is not agreeable to you, all that I refrain from doing, because it is in my hands (not to do it). But, oh charming one, if I myself am not agreeable to you (i.e. if I am an eye-sore to you), is it in my hands (to avoid it ) ?
585. Nectar of the lower lip :
I think, the gods did not at all know (or taste) the nectar of the lower lip of my dearest beloved, and therefore they took the trouble of lifting up (or churning out) the nectar from the (milk-) ocean.
586. Beauty queen :
Let the daughter of the farmer alone be entitled to the status (or distinction) of a beautiful woman, because she has turned all people in the village into gods looking at her with winkless eyes.
.
587. Ingratitute :
If in the case of lamps (paiva-pradipa), their faces (i.e. the tips of their wicks) become darkened (because of the formation of soot), even though they are (richly) fed with oil and are made privy to all undertakings (carried out at night), what can one say then about hostile people (paiva-pratipa), if their faces become darkened (with malice), even though they are extremely fondled with affection and taken into confidence (or consulted in all undertakings?
588. Missing in the manuscripts.
589. Love versus pragmatism:
Why do you say to me, oh friends "Do not court death. You will see him if you continue to live"? That is the voice (or counsel) of business-instinct (i.e. of cool calculating pragmatism) and not at all the way of (emotion-packed) love.

Page #104

590. Commiseration :
The lonely (or helpless) deer was fondled (or caressed) by the tame female deer full of deep longing, in such a (tender) manner, that the bow dropped down from the hand of the hunts-man who was fond of his wife.
591. Tender love :
The female deer thinks that the male deer (her consort) is thirsty, and the male deer too thinks that the female deer is thirsty - thus both of them (i.e. the couple of the male and female deer) do not think of drinking any water at all out of (mutual) affection..
592. Retribution:
Why do you say (to me), oh pious man (or monk), that you do not get any alms in such a large village (as this one)? Oh you destroyer of the Karañja tree (my usual trysting place), I am surprised to find that you still continue to live (whereas you should have died long ago, because of your sinful act of destroying the trysting place of lovers).
593. Fresh challenge :
Oh dark-coloured damsel, because of your bright (i.e. flashing), tremulous, sharppointed (i.e. piercing) glances channeled through the corners of your eyes, Cupid wishes (i.e. aspires) once again to wage a war with Hara (i.e. God Siva) (and defeat him).
594. Short-lived pleasure :
The tresses of the dark-complexioned girl, which had (during the bath) obtained the pleasure of (close) contact with her hips, are as it were weeping (now), when she has stood up after the bath, under the guise of the water-drops (falling down from them), through fear that they would now be tied up into a knot) (and thus be deprived of the pleasure of touching her hips).
595. Sugar-cane crusher :
Oh machinist (operator of the sugar-cane press), you are seeking to obtain sugar, but you are not operating the machine according to my desire. Oh foolish one, do you not know that sugar cannot come into existence without the juice (of the sugarcane) ? (Side-meaning. Oh you operator of the sexual apparatus, you seek pleasure, but you do not operate the sexual machine according to my desire. Oh foolish one, do you not know that pleasure cannot result without moisture (i.e. liquefaction of the vaginal passage) ?

598. Cure for inconstancy :
The accursed bee (now) roams in the midst of lotuses, (now) (lightly) presses (or squeezes) the Jasmine (flowers) and (then) does not leave the Mālati (flowers) (too) (untouched). The Pătala (flowers) will (if at all) cure him of his inconstancy (or fickleness).
599. Sample-survey :
The young damsel whose blue-(or dark-) coloured bodice is fastened in such a way as to leave an uncovered space two fingers in width (in the central part of the bosom) and has therefore a speciality about it (namely that it easily affords a glimpse of the central part of the bosom), shows to young men a sample as it were (of the loveliness of the entire bosom).
600. Protection :
Oh banian tree, who (by your dense shade) intern in the village-yard the dark half of the month, the village (i.e. the young lovers in the village), clinging to you far and wide (i.e. straggling all around you over a long distance), is (are), in spite of the fact that it has (they have) a diligent and intolerant chief, not in the least) worried about the divulgement of their clandestine amours).
CENTO VII
601. Torrential rain :
Look here, the cloud is as it were howling, because it cannot lift up the earth by means of the binding ropes consisting in the streams of water incessantly pouring down with great speed.
602. Lute-like sound of buzzing bees :
The swarm of gnats (flies), clinging to the shoulders of the buffalo, hovers round about being struck by the horns (of the buffalo, through a movement of its head), humming with a garrulous noise similar to the clanging sound of a lute whose wires have been struck (or plucked).
603. Desecration:
Inside the house where fire is tended (or worshipped) for the entertainment (edification) of people, the dog sleeps quite comfortably with its tail coiled up, unmoistened by the pouring rains), after the young boy (appointed to tend the sacred fire) has gone out.

Page #106

604. Warning:
Oh young man, do not put trust in her, a harlot). These people (who speak admiringly about her) are (mere) flatterers. Look here (and say), is the (mere) perforation (of the ear-lobes) acknowledged as evidence (of a person's being a Hindu)?
605. Crows percbing on the hedge :
The crows perching on the enclosing hedge and having their beaks washed down by the streams of rain, their wings hanging down and their necks curved (or contracted), look as if they were impaled.
606. Leaky roof and weeping eyes :
The wife of the wayfarer ( travelling abroad) shields her little son, receiving on her own head the water dripping from the (leaky) roof, but she does not notice (in her grief over separation from her consort) that her son is being drenched by her (own) tears.
607. Dangerously absent-minded :
Oh you absent-minded one, while stretching out your hand towards the hand of your teloved lover conjured up in your mind, you will fall down on the way, muddy because of the rains.
608. Waterless wash :
As the consort places her on his lap, perspiration (gushing out because of emotion aroused in her) washes, like a servant in constant attendance, her feet whose borders (i.e. soles) are (still) soiled with mud sticking to them in the course of her movement to his residence (from her father's house).
609. Lingering pockets of darkness :
The intoxicated swarms of bees, resting motionless on (white) lotus petals, look like (lingering) pockets of darkness (elsewhere) completely dispersed by the rays of the moon.
610. Earth-lady's grey hair :
When the rainy season with its high (soaring) clouds is over like the bloom of a woman's youthful age (with its swelling breasts), the first solitary (white) Kāśa flower makes its appearance (on the earth) like a (stray) grey hair (on the head).
611. Green parrots with red beaks :
Just look here : from the hollow of (yonder) tree a swarm of (green) parrots (with red beaks) rushes away speedily. The tree is as it were discharging bile mixed with blood like a person suffering from fever in autumn.

Page #107

612. Sad pleasure :
In the autumn the way-farers greedily drink the sparkling and clear waters in the lake, redolent of lotuses (growing in it) and (hence) comparable to the faces of their beloved wives, having sparkling eyes, and fragrant like lotuses.
613. End of the rainy season :
Still wet inside but having layers of dried-up mud formed on the surface, the streets as it were breathe out (as they extrude wet mud through the crevices), when people walk on them to and fro.
614. Autumn :
In autumn, the white clouds which have already discharged their water and hence) shine like hills of white (rock-) salt and resemble heaps of washed cotton, become as it were dried up.
615. Village-street :
The surface of the village-street, having sparse (dried up) mud in its middle portion (which is frequently trodden by pedestrians) and having wet mud on both its sides (where it is not trodden by pedestrians) has become (i.e. looks) like the line of the partition of the hair (on the head of woman).
616. Culpable :
Since you leap (or jump) over to another hedge, forsaking your own hedge although it can bear your burden, therefore I think, oh gourd-plant (or creeper), you will today or to-morrow (i.e. very soon) begin to blossom. [ Side-meaning : Since you reach out to the consort of another woman, having transgressed your own consort, although he is capable of sustaining you, therefore, oh you prompted by an unholy interest (or curiosity) (for other men), you will today or tomorrow (i.e. very soon) be exposed ).
617. Farewell :
The buffaloes, while being taken by the slaughterers (to the slaughter-house), take leave as it were of their families with their bellowing sounds and with their glances turned towards their families for the last time in their lives).
618. Delusion:
Oh simple-minded girl, why are you, incredulous about the real situation, again (and again) washing your hands, (naturally) red like a coral shoot (or like a tender leaf), from which you have already washed off the red mineral paint (clinging to them from your toilet rouge)?

Page #108

619. Lovely though soiled :
"Oh daughter, first wipe your face on which tears are descending (i.e. which is soiled with tears) and which is (yet) extremely charming. Oh dear one, let him (i.e. your consort) not do so again (i.e. offend against you again), thinking that just jealous anger lends adornment (i.e. charm) to your face.
620. Way of love :
Oh young man, this is (now) just the nature of love, namely to get angry all of a sudden, to become propitiated (i.e. friendly and favourable) in a moment, to adhere to untrue statements (once made) (and to be unwilling to withdraw them), and finally) to become a prey to excessive mental agony.
621. Farmer's pampered son:
Pampered by tasting (i.e. eating) the sweet cakes (pastries) given to him by the wife of the village-chief, the farmer's son now says "fie," to (all) other cakes (given to him by other women).
622. Tinkling sound of bangles :
The longing for amorous dalliance on the part of the son-in-law, who has come (to the house of his father-in-law) in the afternoon, is augmented by the garrulous clanging sound of the bangles of the young wife, produced as she is cleansing her bangles (while having her bath) in the back-yard (of the house).
623. Flamingos :
The slender damsel bas both her breasts whitened with the fine particles thrown up due to the pounding of the grains (of corn) into flour for the impending) festival, (and looking as if they were two flamingos resting in the shade of the lotus (in the form) of her face.
624. Veteran wrestler :
When the old (i.e. seasoned or veteran) wrestler, who in his peak-days) smashad other) wrestlers by pounding them with slaps and blows in the course of wrestling-bouts, merely girds up his loins (i.e. tightens up the belt round his waist), he (as it were) pulls out the hearts of his faint-hearted adversaries (from their roots).
625. Unlucky wife :
Oh wife of the wrestler, are you not ashamed (of yourself) but on the contrary) are dancing (with joy), as the banner of victory of your husband is brought (to you) with beat of drums, when (as a matter of fact) your misfortune is being (thereby) proclaimed ?

Page #109

626. Wicked men and dogs :
Do not put any trust in these wicked men, who are intent on excessive flattery (but) who turn their faces away (in indifference) as soon as their (selfish) object is achieved and who are (therefore) comparable to dogs turning their faces in the opposite direction as soon as they have achieved their object (viz. coitus).
627. Houri :
May my (pet) bitch, who when she departs for another village draws after herța whole pack of hounds, live for a hundred years in unimpaired charm (i.e. sexual attractiveness).
628. Dog's tutor :
Oh brother-in-law, tell me the truth. From where has the dog who (formerly) flattered (coaxed) (his mate) in that manner (i.e. abundantly), (now) learnt that (wellknown) (art of) turning away his face, the moment his object (viz. coitus) is achieved?
629. The joy of excellent harvest :
Proud of the abundance of corn (or abundant crop) harvested (in the field), the farmer sings (with joy) in the autumn, in the nights in which the moon looks white like unhusked (pounded and polished) grains of new rice.
630. Lotus-like foot :
The foot of the female warden of the paddy-crop, placed obliquely (across the waterchannel) and motionless, while she is blocking the water channel in the field, is (eagerly) sought by a swarm of bees greedy for tasting lotuses.
631. Apprehension:
With every passing day, the female warden of the paddy-field, her pale face hanging down (or lowered) and her anxiety at the (eventual) termination of her trysts growing, dries up (i.c. languishes) along with the paddy-stems (which too have become pale due to ripening, have their tops hanging down because of the weight of the grains and are drying up).
632. Farmer's enragement (or sorrow):
On seeing in the morning in autumn, the green and long-extending thousand-fold (i.c, numerous) tracks of the dwarfish bulls in the sesamum field whitened by hoar-frost, the farmer becomes enraged (or afflicted with sorrow) (at the damage done to the sesamum crop).
633. Wild rats:
The farmer's wife mourns the seasmum-stems uprooted by the teeth of the wild mice (rats) (and laid waste) and fallen on the ground in a disorderly manner and appearing enfeebled and pale-white by exposure to the rays of the sun.

Page #110

634. Smouldering bon-fire :
While the boys (urchins), vying with one another in the matter of bringing grass and twigs of trees, are running towards the root of the enclosing hedge and are occupied with collecting splinters of wood, the bon-fire (kindled by them already on the occasion of some festival) keeps on burning idly (i.e. keeps on smouldering, without blazing).
635. Shelter her from the sun's heat with your body's shade :
Forbear, forbear, give up jesting, oh brother-in-law of the Nāyikā). This (or that) poor lady (the Nāyikā) is without any cover (to shelter her body from the heat of the sun). She perspires even in the cool (shadow of your body) (when you are standing near her). (How much more then, when you go away and she is directly exposed to the heat of sun ?) Therefore you should again make shade for her (by standing near her).
636. Built-in warmth :
What need has that man for a garment (or clothes), for fire and for a sheltered residence, on whose bosom his wife with warm (or warming) breasts is resting ?
637. Cold heat :
For the lotus-beds the winter is hot (i.e. causes them to wither), while it is cold to people (in general). Who here in this world knows the essentially diverse nature of things?
638. Missing in the manuscript.
639. Missing in the manuscript.
640. Missing in the manuscript.
641. Cold heat :
People though concealing themselves (i.e. their real intentions) are known (revealed) by their actions. The winter is established as hot by its burning effect on the lotuses (i.e. by its causing the lotuses to wither).
642. Winter-nights :
Who would not have a craving for ihe greatness consisting in (i.e. indicated by) the (apologetic) conciliation (made by one's dear consort, if (only) there were not the winter-nights which strike at the root of one's haughtiness?
643. Internal heating 1
In the winter, the way-farer, who is (wandering abroad) homeless and is whitened (or dusky) with the fine particles of snow, begins to perspire on recollecting the face of and his wife, and his cold vanishes altogether.

Page #111

82
644. Reflected images of flames:
Oh girl, why indeed do you move away hastily after enkindling the fire (by blowing air on it with your mouth)? It is (only) the flames (of the fire) imaged on your jar-like breasts that are quivering and it is not at all the case that the flames (themselves) are touching (licking) your bosom.
645. Futile labour :
Oh (girl), how will stimulation of the fire succeed (i.e. how will you achieve the desired result of making it blaze forth) in the midst of the darkness of the smoke, while your brother-in-law, greedy for kissing your lotus-like face, is standing nearby?
646. Reflected image:
Oh girl, while you are stimulating the fire (by blowing air on it with your mouth), the flame (of the fire) imaged in your check, assumes the grace of a fresh, moist, tender (reddish) leaf placed as an ornament on your ear.
647. Let it go on endlessly to delight my eyes :
Let this your stimulation of the fire, which has caused your eyes to become reddish, which makes them shed tears (due to irritation) and which causes your swelling bosom to heave (with exhaustion), just remain incomplete (i.e. let it go on endlessly so that my eyes may be able to watch you for a long time in this charming situation).
648. Genuine and counterfeit :
The delicious juice which is found in the Pundra sugar-canes even when they are completely crushed, how can that delicious juice be ever found in the accursed stems of Bhamasa reeds?
649. Sugar-cane press and youthful age:
The nature (or behaviour) of the sugar-press and of youthful age is found to be one and the same (i.e. very similar). The former impels (or prompts) the action (of crushing) on the staff (i.e. on the sugar-cane, and the latter the activity of the membrum virile), they extract the fluid (i.e. the sugar-cane juice and the semen); they do not allow people to sleep (at night) (as the sugar-cane press has to be operated throughout the night and as the sexual act takes place frequently throughout the night).
650. Old hag:
Many an operator of the sugar-cane-press (also, of the sexual machine) has told us on oath that the wife of the village-chief has only a sweet voice, but there is no juice in her machine (also, no liquefaction or moisture in her sexual apparatus).
651. Firmly established:
Why indeed do you designate her, whose nature it is to have sexual relations (with the host of the house), as a temporary guest? Thanks to the weakness of our (my) house-master (i.e. of my consort), she has already become the mistress of the house.

Page #112

83
652. Painter :
You do not know the (proper) sequence of the different colours (to be spread on the canvass with the brush) (i.e. you are ignorant of the proper blending of the various colours). Nor have you got the correct sense of perspective (i.e. the knowledge of how to create the illusion of depth, distance, height, curves ctc.). And yet, oh painter, you seek to draw pictures on the wall of the residence of the wife of the village-chief!
(Side-meaning: you are ignorant of the sexual characteristics of the different classes (of women), nor have you any correct knowledge of the various physical poses in sexual intercourse. And yet you have set your mind on and aspire to scratch the wall (i.e. the wall of the vaginal passage of the village chief's wife i.e., to have sexual intercourse with her!))
653. Advent of Spring :
The southern breeze has begun to move over the streets of the village, carrying (along with it) the first leaf of the Ankotha tree (blown away from it), as if it were the first intimation of the arrival of Mādhava (i.e. the Spring Season).
654. Blooming buds :
How possibly can that sulkiness (or haughtiness) be maintained firmly at the sight of the moon-like face of the dear one (i.e. the dear lover), when it fights shy of even the sight of the blooming buds of the Ankotha tree?
655. Blossoming Ankotha :
If my entirely justified sulkiness has vanished without any ado (or has just vanished), the blame for that is to be placed at your door, oh Ankotha tree, who have blossomed all of a sudden (literally : let the blame for that rest (or descend) on your head, oh Ankotha tree, who have blossomed all of a sudden).
656. Advent of Spring :
Put everything in order, sound the trumpets, arrange the flowers into garlands), carry out decorations (of houses and streets). Even in the case of the visit of) an emperor there is not that excitement which is noticed on the eve of the advent of Spring.
657. Mango-blossom:
How and whence can there be well-being ? From the top of that self-same stunted (dwarfish) mango-tree, which stands in this village, there has emerged something disastrous (i.e, a spray of blossom).
658. Palása leaves and Mongoose-ears :
The leaves of the Palāśa tree, which (leaves) had been burnt down by the forest fire in the cold season and which have again emerged in the Spring, look like the ears of a mongoose (ich neumon).

Page #113

84
659. Cupid's present to Vernal Beauty :
Cupid has as it were presented to the Goddess of Spring a garment (cloak or mantle) of lovely flowers with leaves (also a garment with a terminal gorgeously embroidered skirt) and spreading its fragrance far and wide, after taking it away from his (own) body.
660. Dissipation of sulkiness :
The fresh (new) spray of mango-blossoms here, placed on the ear, dissipates the justifiable (well-grounded) sulkiness of angry women, like a dear friend creeping close to the ear (to whisper words of consolation and salutary advice).
661. Consolation :
"Oh girl, just today when there is a festival, your dear consort will certainly) come, (make no doubt about that). Do not (therefore) shed tears". (Thus) comforting the daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law (herself) begins to weep, with her face turned away.
662. Village-chief's earnings :
Oh aunt, under the crooked (arched or stunted) mango-tree, day after day there pours down, in the guise of the farmer's daugther, a regular stream of wealth, for the benefit of the village-chief who is famous for collecting fines (from offenders caught red-handed in love-affairs with the farmer's daughter).
663. Binding chains :
When the slender arms of the young (married) damsel are with-drawn from the neck (of her consort) at the end a farewell embrace, her bracelets slip down from her emaciated arms), like binding chains, on the foot of her consort intending to leave her and go away on a journey.
664. Dangerous trap :
Oh lord of the elepbant-herd, refrain from visiting the paddy-field over there), which is pleasing only on the surface, but has snares spread out (or laid) (in order to catch you), and has pits covered with grass, while the guards are standing hidden (to pounce on you).
665. Leadership of the elephant-herd :
How can the status of the lord of an elephant-herd come to an elephant though he might be looking grand in the excellent) (Vindhya) forest (in which he has been born and has grown up), if he leaves the Vindhya mountain out of greed for mouthfuls of new paddycrop (growing on the plains)?
666. Crooked fate :
Oh young boy, even an elephant born in the first and foremost family (of Airāvata, the divine elephant), though pure by birth (i.e. though possessed of excellent pedigree) and though belonging to the bhadra class, falls into bondage in a moment, because of crooked (i.e. adverse) fate.

Page #114

85
667. Leader of the elephant-herd :
It is only the leader (or lord) of an elephant-herd that knows how to conduct to safety the elephant-herd, bewildered because of encirclement by fire started on all the four sides (of the forest by the elephant-catchers) and because of the drums beaten in a shrill, frightening manner.
€68. Leadership of the elephant-herd :
Oh lord of elephants, although your cheeks are emaciated, your inchor has disappeared, and although you have reached the last stage of your life (i.e. have become old), still even today, because you are alive, the entire herd of elephants has an able protector (or guardian) in you.
669. His greatest anxiety :
Not even confinement, nor even separation from the female, pains the mind of the elephant so much as the swarm of bees turning away (from him) and hovering about here and there (aimlessly) because of the cessation (or depletion) of rut.
670. Great hero:
The son of the village-chief defended the village so valiantly (by inflicting horrible punishment on the assaulting enemy), that his own people (friends, relatives and followers) were greatly concerned (about his safe return from battle) and the enemy was full of apprehension (about his own safety or escape from the battle).
671. Scarcity of deer-skins :
Oh way-farer, inquire in other huntsmen's families about the skins of spotted deer. Our young huntsman (i.e. my young son or husband) does not bend (literally, direct or aim) his bow against deer.
672. Mother's complaint:
My son, who (formerly) conferred the state of widowhood on female elephants, laying low (their mates) with a single arrow in each case), has now been reduced by my accursed daughter-in-law to such a condition that he has to carry a whole bundle of arrows (for killing a single elephant).
673. Deterrent name :
In the village, the herds of cattle were (closely) inspected by thieves by shaking their bodies (in order to find out whether or not they had the name of their master, the villagechief, marked on them (and the cattle branded with the name of the village-chief were left alone, while others were carried away). Thereafter other people in the village) branded even their own cattle with the name of the village-chief.

Page #115

674. On the death-bed :
Let not the hamlet talk of ascending the heights of the Vindhya mountain (for safety). The village-chief is still breathing. If he, on regaining consciousness, were somehow to hear about it (i.e. his people's retreat into the Vindhya mountain), he would (perbaps) die (out of shame).
675. The last message:
While on his death-bed the village-chief gives his (last) message to his son with great effort: Behave in such a manner that you do not become known (to people) by my name (i. e. as being my son), (but earn name and fame for yourself by your sterling merit and solid achievements),
676. Superficial and sincere love :
People caring only for external appearance and greedy for flesh took (i.e. purchased) (only) the limbs (such as legs of the slaughtered animal). But the hutsman's wife was not ready to part with the portion of the heart, except to a person who had a genuine desire and admiration for it. She therefore wandered (for long) in the market-place (in search of the wished for customer). [ Side-meaning: People, greedy for carnal gratification seized only the limbs (such as the breasts, lips etc.). But the woman (i.e. courtesan) was not ready to give her heart to any man, unless she was sure that he too would give his heart to her and therefore she wandered in the market-place in search of such a man.) 1
677. Wrong suspicion :
Seeing the mouth of her consort bitten (or stung) by a bee and having its lip swollen, the Pulinda woman possessed by jealousy went away into the shade of another tree.
678. Reward of faithful love :
As she started to follow (her dearest consort) in death he revived from his prolonged unconsciousness and the decoration of widowhood in the case of the noble-born lady was turned into a decoration of supreme good luck (in the form of the revival of her consort).
679. Pastoral mountain-resort :
Blessed are they who live in a mountain-village, where they can give themselves up to carnal enjoyment, without fear (of being disturbed by any body), where the houses are surrounded by hedges with luxuriant foliage and where the thickets of bamboo-reeds swing this way and that being rocked by breezes.
680. Pastoral mountain-resort :
The mountain-villages here have Kadamba trees planted in the yards of houses in full bloom, clean-washed stone-platforms in house-yards), and peacocks dancing with joy, and are lovely with the murmuring sound of the running (mountain-) streams.

Page #116

87
681. The tamed shrew :
That cow, who (formerly) did not (even) moisten the hand (of the milker) (with a drop of milk), that same milk-withholding cow was so (skilfully or effectively) stroked (patted) by that cowherd, that she now yields, just see the fun, a bucket-ful of milk!
682, For the benefit of all :
The steer lives (only) for you, the heifers live only for the steer. cow, for the sake of our lives. The entire cow-stall depends on you.
Live for long, oh
683. Effective remedy :
See, as the cowherd was having a joke with the dairy-maid, the newly married damsel (i.e, wife of the cowherd) let loose all the calves in jealous anger.
684. Following in the footsteps of pioneers is easy and safe :
Even inferior oxen move without any trouble on a path that has been already trodder without difficulty by a superior bull in such a way that sparks of fire issue from the stones breaking (or crushed) under the furious stamping of his hoofs.
685. Bewildered bees :
For a moment on to the rays of her nails, for a moment on to the flowers, for a moment on to the tender leaves and for a moment on to her hands, thus did the girl engagec in plucking flowers cause the bees to swing to and fro.
686. Reminiscence :
The wayfarer smells, caresses, kisses and presses against his bosom, which becomes ruffled up (at the contact), the Madhūka-flower, because of its similarity with the cheeks of his wife.
687. Stupid elephant :
Just see, how the wild elephant (over there) vainly moistens his head with the serpent's slough hanging from the mountain-precipice (i.e. rubs his head against it), taking it to be the (frothy) stream of a water-fall.
688. Disillusionment :
Oh bee, you, who have forsaken the lotus flower out of your greed for the fragrance of the ripe Kapittha fruit (wood-apple), you will come to know the truth (i.e. you will be disillusioned before long), when you touch it, like a simple-minded rustic when he touches what is only a picture (of a beautiful woman)
689. Horripilation of joy :
Look here, when the woman singer of auspicious blessings sang, there appeared on the body of the prospective bride, as she listened to the name of the bridegroom (uttered by

Page #117

88
the woman singer), horripilation, as if (the horripilation itself) wanted to hear the (bridegroom's) name.
690. Premarital love rewarded :
It is reported that my father is going to give me (in marriage) to him, who made (premarital) love with me in a field. If he (my lover) were to hear about this, his heart would burst with joy.
691. Witnesses of premarital love-making :
I think, the reed-copses are laughing at me along with those young men (with whom I had amorous dalliance there), as they (the copses) hear the auspicious songs sung on the eve of my impending marriage.
692. Tears of separation :
As separation after the auspicious ceremony on the fourth day of the marriage) was near at hand, her hand and that of the bridegroom, which were tightly interlocked prior to the bridegroom's departure, wept as it were with the tears of perspiration.
693. Prudish and yet charming :
They do not cast a glance, they do not allow their mouths to be touched, nor say any thing at all and yet it is a mystery, how loveable newly married damsels are.
694. Double protection :
While the young husband, pretending to be asleep, turns sides on the bed, the trembling hands of the young, new-wed wife move towards the knot of her garment, held fast between her thighs tightly pressed against one another.
695. Persistent sulkiness :
Questioned by the consort, who has offended against her, the young wife gives no reply, quivers convulsively when seized by him, weeps when kissed by him and remains still (unresponsive) when embraced by him.
696. Centre of attraction :
Just from him start all stories, just into him they develop (i.e. all stories converge on him) and just in him they terminate. Must I then supposc, oh aunt, that there is in this village only a single (handsome) young man ?
697. Contrast :
But when he utters them,
Those very words that we speak are uttered by others also. they enrapture my heart.

Page #118

89
698. Love alone makes for happiness :
With utmost solicitude strive to search out some one whom you can love, if you eare for your happiness. There is no happiness in this world) which one cannot find in the company of a person who is dear to one's heart.
699. Frustration :
Although she rushed hastily out of the house), she was not able to see you to her (heart's) desire, in this accursed village in which the streets are meandering like a snake struck on the head and wriggling (with pain).
700. Iridescent tears
The consort saw for long the downward streaming tears of his sulking wife blended with the flashing lustre of her (dark) eyes, of her (fair) cheeks and of her (red) lips, which (tears) (consequently) looked like a straight rain-bow (since the tears were streaming down her cheeks in straight lines).

FOUR ADDITIONAL STANZAS FOUND IN THE BORI MS OF THE GĀHĀKOSA WITH ĀJADA'S COMMENTARY AND BEARING THE NUMBERS 597, 598, 599 and 600
597. All in vain :
The winnowing basket was burnt; the grams were not fried; that young boy went away; the mother-in-law got wild (with me) at home. It was like playing on a flute in front of stark deaf persons.
598. Tell-tale eyes and horripilation:
The faces of (lovely) women with bristling cheeks and with dilated, motionless eyes, reveal the pleasure (experienced by them) on account of the (close) embrace by their lovers concealed in water (during water-sport in swimming pools).
599. Intriguing:
Your heart is as though full of (or fashioned out of) nectar (and) your hands remove (i.e. fulfil) the longings of those who are full of longings. Oh you with a moon-like face, where (then) does your enemy-scorching prowess abide?
600. Dance of peacocks:
During the dark rainy days, accompanied by the rumbling sound of new clouds, the dancing of the flocks of peacocks, who are as if seized with deep longing (for their friends, the clouds), appears so charming.

First Cento
The commentary of B., a Jaina scholar, begins with the salutation af at fata, which is followed by what appears to be a benedictory stanza in the Anuştubh metre. Unfortunately the major portion of the stanza is illegible in both the Ahmedabad and Poona (BORI) mss.
1) = # = reflected in the form of an image).
For पडिमासंकेत see पडिमागय st. 125 and 351. रोसारुण etc. and गहियग्घकयं are B.C. s. For
the idea cf. Kumārasambhava VIII, 50–53, Karpūramañjarj I. 4 and G. st. 6, 7. 2) B's version does not contain the stanza afazi 91330d etc. (No. 2 in Weber's edition),
proclaiming the greatness of secular Prākrit poetry, its sweet and pleasing quality and its predominantly erotic nature. See Vajjā., st. 2. The phrase #8753occurs in the colophon following st. 500 in Weber's edition, at the end of the fifth cento. There the Gāthāsaptaśatí is said to have been composed by eminent poets such as **T*** (i. e. Hāla, the friend of poets). Hāla is also known by the name Sālāhaņa (Sātavāhana). See st. 468 for Sālāhaņaņarinda. fargeg does not mean 'composed', but compiled and arranged in the form of an anthology.' Hāla is of course said to be the author of about 56 stanzas in the commentary printed in the present edition, Part I. But the other stanzas are by poets who preceded Hāla or were his contemporaries. The names of most of these poets are menitoned in B's commentary. ATTFITIUT does not necessarily mean accompanied by figures of speech', but rich in poetic charm arising from figures of speech or subtle suggestions of factual situations (arceaft) and emotional situations (ETF)'. See Dandin's Kävyädarśa, II, 1 and 367. TIETOT – TIET ( TIT) is used in Prākrit in the sense of a stanza in the aryä metre
whose scheme is generally 12, 18, 12 and 15 mātrās for the four quarters respectively. 3) Cited in Kavyaprakāža, II p. 30 (BORI edition), as an example of sequential, telescopic,
multiple suggestions. 339=964, see H. 2, 211, where it is mentioned in the sense of the Imper. 2nd pers. sing. The form zuk (Imper. 2nd pers. plu.) occurs in st. 16, 64, 65 etc. and is mentioned in D. N. M. I. 98. No other form of the root 32 occurs in Prakrit. संखसुत्ति व्व = संखसत्ती व्व; shortening of long vowels before conjunct consonants is common in Prākrit. See H. 1, 84. For gent cf. af st. 240. ET = Ha. See H.
4, 100 4) 737 = 779TT = AT = similar. Fefa = poffa, Denom. from 3* = 55 =

woman who has only recently come out of her monthly course. Such a woman naturally desires fertility for her own self. Thus tafaur has two senses : (1) fertility or fruition

Page #160

(131)
and blossoming of the Kurabaka creeper in the house-yard and (2) a woman who has come out of her monthly course. The husband of the woman uttering the stanza wants her to embrace the Kurabaka creeper (or tree) to make it blossom and bear fruit. So the woman says to him: "why do you not seek a meeting with me, your wife, just out of my monthly course and make me bear fruit (progeny), but seek fertility for the Kurabaka creeper by urging me to embrace it ?" It is a poetical convention that a Kurabaka tree blossoms and bears fruit when embraced by a youthful woman. For far नवफलिका, see H. 1. 170. वलियमूहपंकयं is an adv. comp. मासे af मार्गयसे. मग्ग = to seek to ask for.

According to B, the husband called his wife by the name of his sweet-heart even when he was bending at her feet while apologising to her for some lapse on his part. She therefore thought him to be as stupid as a beast of burden. Her little son promptly mounted on his back, confirming thereby, unwittingly, her judgement about her husband, and causing her to laugh. According to the commentator Kulanathadeva, the wife laughed because the son's action was reminiscent of the posture called in sexual enjoyment.
11) से तस्था in her case. सलाहणिज, pot. pass. part. from सलाह EBT to praise, see H. 2. श्लाघ् 101. B's first explanation compliments the nàyika for her correct judgement about the worthy young man. The second explanation censures her for foolishness in loving an unworthy man.

flagellation of such a woman by her husband's brother, see st. 457. See also Raghavan, Smgāraprakāśa, pp. 653–654.

For efe see H. 3, 120. gafu fu feafa = are still touching the earth. The pious man was breaking the Karañja-branches to prepare a hut for himself or for some other religious purpose. But in doing so he was doing harm to the trees. The woman addressing this stanza to the pious monk was angry at the denudation of the
trees which would make it impossible for her to meet her paramour under the dense shade of the trees. She therefore says to him that though he is toiling so hard to live a righteous life by breaking the Karañja-branches, he has not succeeded in attaining to heaven and that his feet are still touching the earth. The exact purpose of breaking the Karanja-branches is not clear. Compare st. 368 and 592.
368) gf zetu = f*=347 = the act of being cut (or plucked) by the way-farers. For
उल्लर see H. 4, 116. संकाउल=full of apprehension. बहलतिमिरस्स (B.C.) वडस्स (the leaves) of the Banian tree casting dense shade. fazt (adv.) = secretly, quietly. 3 qu (d.) =
fath = water mixed with turmeric powder. Car =the leaves (of the Banian tree lying scattered under it). The idea is that wayfarers used to rest in the shade of the Banian tree and used to pluck its leaves for preparing improvised plates from them for their midday meals. As the Banian tree thus became denuded of its leaves it could no longer cast a dense shade and wanton women were thereby deprived of a good trysting place for meeting their paramours. To prevent wayfarers from plucking the leaves of the Banian tree, the woman sprinkled the leaves already lying scattered under it, with turmeric- water to create the impression in the way-farers' minds that the tree was dedicated to some god and so it would be improper to pluck its leaves or even to rest in its shade.

35 = 96fget = ran = dripping or forcing their way (through the holes in the thatched roof ). See Vajjā, 24, 28 and notes p. 422. Fosffgrifęface the perpendicular lines drawn on the wall of the hut, to indicate the number of days at the end of which her husband was to return home after his journey. For the idea compare st. 153 and Vaijā, st. 378, notes p. 482.77 = tarfa = preserves or saves (from being washed out by the rain-water trickling along the surface of the wall). At the commencement of her husband's journey, his wife had drawn on the wall of the hut as many perpendicular lines as the number of days he was expected to be away. As each day passed she used to erase one line. Some more lines were yet to be erased in this manner, and she wanted to save them from being washed away by the rain-water. This explanation would hold good in the case of st. 153 also.
371) grat= a bank. get = tasting, chewing. The Prākrit root appears to be
connected with the Sanskrit root get = to eat. See H. 4, 258, (afwezi = tatfah). TIETS TE=(pungent) leaves of a mustard plant. 3foveg=3675fT (B)=jumps up, springs up.

in the sense of a farmer, who is generally a householder. Huhfat = a dead she-buffalo. CCHIA = GOEITTH (B.) = a garland or necklace of small bells (for adorning domestic animals). TEST (ger. ) = having carried about (from place to place ), or having suspended round his own neck (B.) (as a memento ). ATITE = TAHETAT = hundreds of buffalo-herds. Ag5T = car = having seen or examined. See H. 4, 181. 777 = 2TH = thereafter. 3 = fra = temple of Aryā, i. e. Durgā or Candikā. Cf. st. 468 for temples of Aparņā (Pārvati, Durgā). The idea is that the farmer had such a high regard for his buffalo and was so fond of her, that he could not think of any other buffalo as worthy of wearing the garland of bells formerly worn by his (now dead) buffalo and so he dedicated it to the temple of Durgā.

jago Toua = moving about near her house with Jambū-leaves placed on his ear as an ear-ornament. The idea is this : the young damsel had fixed up a secret meeting with her lover (the farmer's son) under a Jambů tree outside the village. Her lover kept up the appointment, but she could not for some reason turn up there at the agreed time. In order to convey to her her failure to keep up the appointment he went near her house, with a few Jambū leaves placed on his ear. When she saw him she felt very dejected at her failure to keep up the appointment and her face became darkened with a sense of guiltiness. Cf. Rudrata, Kāvyālamkāra 7, 39; Kāvyaprakāśa II, st. 132 (p. 211-212, BORI edition).

Similarly the sense "sudden, unexpected (af)" given by other commentators for the word

to announce that the young girl has had her first sexual intercourse with her husband resulting in bleeding due to the rupture of the hymen, at the time of the first coitus. कुमरीजारो = the pre-marital paramour of the newly married girl. हासुम्मीसेहिँ अच्छीहिं = with glances mixed with smiles. The premarital lover smiles slyly, because he knows that he himself has had copulation with the girl even before her marriage. According to Weber, the commentator Hemacandra (on the Anuyogadvārasūtra ) says that public display of the blood-stained under-garment (or bed-sheet) of a newly married girl after the first coitus was a custom prevailing in certain parts of the country. In the present case the under-garment (or bed-sheet) was not really blood-stained, but artificially tinged with a red fluid colour. Hence it is spoken of here as #fTh. According to the commentator Gangadhara, it was a custom in certain parts of the country to display the garment of a young married girl, stained with the blood of her first menstruation. The relatives of the girl in the present case knew her love-affair with her pre-marital paramour, but they paraded her artificially tinged garment in order to announce her“ first menstruation ", after marriage. It would appear according to Hemacandra's explanation, that there was really no vaginal bleeding at the time of the girl's first coitus with her husband, but, in order to deceive him and other people into believing that there was such a bleeding and in order to convince them of her unscathed virginity, the relatives made a display of an artificially tinged bedsheet or undervest. According to Gangādbara's explanation, it would appear that the girl had yet no coitus with her husband, but in order to convince him and other people of her virginity, her relatives paraded her artificially tinged under-garment, claiming that it was stained with the blood of her first menstruation. But common to both the explanations is the fact that the girl had already had premarital sex with her paramour.

But it is very difficult to come across a woman who melts mentally and physically at the mere glance of a man. Cf. st. 681.
464) मसिणं (adv.) = मसूणम् =slowly, gently. चंकम्मंती = चंक्रम्यमाणा = walking in an unsteady

King Sätavāhana reconstructed the delapidated temples of Parvāti in his kingdom and he also rehabilitated the families of poverty-stricken people with monetary help. The stanza is thus an example of trisemi or triple śleşa.
469) qiefs = CSF = Pāțalā tree (bearing reddish flowers). FAG FETITE = without any
supporting notches (to serve as foot-holds on its trunk, and hence difficult to climb). ¿# = a chisel to cut an indent, and secondarily“ a notch or indent ". 31eafurafer = who first tried to climb on the tree and then fell down (because of its smooth and slippery stem).

470) F H is to be regarded as a compound word (because of the duplication of
though it is not a compound word. See H. 2, 97. (B. C.) A = head having many Patala flowers (placed on it for decoration). agat i = this is not at all) good (or proper). The speaker of the stanza is a woman complainiug to her aunt about her own brother-in-law wearing many Pätala flowers on his head. As there is only one Patala tree in the entire village, and that too in the village-chief's house, the brother
in-law must have received the flowers from the village-chief's wife (or daughter) as a token of her admiration for him. She therefore warns the aunt that if the village-chief comes to know about his wife's (or daughter's ) love-affair with the brother-in-law, he will certainly punish the brother-in-law. For 7 To cf. st. 68.

The enemies of the king (who is addressed in this stanza by his army-gcneral or court-bard) are compared in a punning manner with swans () who speed to the Mānasa lake (on the Himālaya mountain), (FTTE TEA), leaving behind their favourite food of lotuses [ 93 38(=37137 = ENT) ] (growing in the low-land lakes), their feeble (fag) wings (99) fluttering (in their attempt to leave the low-lands and migrate to the Mānasa lake, as they are afraid of the impend. ing rainy season which is repugnant to their health, although it is charming to others). oftafel = left behind, abandoned. There is pun on the words 970 = (1) allies, (2) wings; TSATH = (1) hope of saving wealth, (2) food consisting of lotuses; and ATT =

TOTUTTERS lines (marks ) for keeping count of the patrons brought into trouble by them. The use of the negative particle in the last two phrases in the first half of the stanza poses a problem.

476) feat = alas ! r = ## (EU). In this stanza uttered by a woman separated from
her consort for a long time and complaining about her sufferings because of separation, the separation is compared with the mountain Mandara used by the gods and demons (as a churning-rod to agitate the milk-ocean), the heart of the woman is compared with the milk-ocean, and the happiness formerly enjoyed by her in the company of her consort is compared with the precious things extracted from the ocean in the process of its being churned. grafar = (1) were extracted: (2) were uprooted i. e, destroyed.

It can also be explained as auiafea = " oh you who are retaining your normal facial glow of good health”, qof being used in the sense of haauf = facial glow indicative of good health.

CTET (p.p.p. from denom. from the word fcq(ghee)]=face = besmeared with ghee coloured with turmeric powder. See st. 20, 273 and 553, and note on st. 20.
