sighs, might have been changed owing to the sleep of hers, thinking constantly upon a union with Him for many nights, being broken. The face, reposed in her hands, not fully discernible owing to the tresses of her hair dangling about her face, of hers, meditating upon Him on closely embracing a pillow with soft surface, having all her limbs let loose on the expansive bed on account of her separation from Him, śambara thought, might be in a state gloomy like that of the moon having her lustre spoiled by His approach near her, that both the red Asoka, with its folliage swinging with to-and-fro motion, and the beautiful Kesara [ Bakula ), standing close by the bower of Mādhavi creepers surrounded with the hedge of Karabaka plant, upon which His beloved of the former birth, śambara's wife's associate, attends simultaneously, would be able to dispel the distress of that fawn-eyed one. He should take those two trees, standing in the garden attached to Sambara's house, with their basins formed by his wife in company with him, and attended upon by His former associate, very dear to Him, to be the only source exciting passion. One of the two trees referred to above, under the pretext of longing, longed for a kick given by her left foot, and the other for the wine in her mouth. Moreover, a golden roosting-perch, the root, firmly fixed in her mind, as if of death decided by her to be brought about on account of her being separated from Him, inlaid at the bottom with jewels having lustre like that of the bamboos not ripened very much, having its top occupied by a peacock, with a crystal slab, would be seen standing between them. Taking for a inatchless banner as if of the flower-arrowed god the roosting-perch on which, at the time of sunset, roosts the peacock, His friend of the former birth, made to dance by Sambara's wife keeping time with the clappings of her hands, rendered charming by her jingling bracelets, love-sick ladies worshipped it; also that faithful spinster, crying very much, worshipped it with a desire to secure Him.
