When I see you, the glorious lotus of my face will bloom, and the valiant wives will regard me with great respect. (13) One woman said, "Just as I have kissed your face, I will kiss the mouth of the wound that has arisen on your chest." (14) Although one newly married woman was not yet mature, she attained maturity when her husband was preparing for battle. (15) One woman had been holding onto her honor for a long time, but when her husband faced the battlefield, she abandoned all honor and eagerly embraced her husband. (16) Although some warrior's wife was not satisfied with the intoxication from her husband's mouth, she, inflamed with desire, taught him skills suitable for the battlefield. (17) One lotus-eyed woman gazed for a long time at her husband's face raised up, without blinking, and continued to kiss him. (18) Another woman left a bright wound from her nails on her husband’s chest as if she were foretelling the oncoming blows of weapons. (19)
Thus, as various gestures were occurring among the women, this proclamation emerged from the warriors, embellished by the great war. (20) Someone said, "O beloved! Those men are commendable who go to the forefront of battle and lose their lives before their enemies, earning great fame." (21) Warriors, whose praise is sung by the enemy, cannot swing from the tusks of intoxicated elephants without merit. (22) Who is capable of describing the joy of a great man who has pierced through the tusks and the trunk of an elephant? (23) Someone exclaimed, "O beloved! I will abandon the fearful, the one seeking refuge, the one turning his back, and the one dropping his weapons, and will fight fiercely against the enemy's head." (24) Another said, "I will fulfill your wishes and, having returned from the battlefield, I will ask you for an embrace when I have satisfied you." (25)
Gautama Swami states that with such conversations, the heroic men eager for the delights of war comfort their beloveds and are determined to leave their homes.
