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 :

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
