________________ APPENDIX 577 came home, tears gathered in her eyes and her lower lip would not stop quivering. 21. O charming one, please tell me whether this is the characteristic of your celebrated courtesy that you go back to your wives soon after your fresh act of faithlessness. 22. But, my dear girl, you don't let me say anything I would explain--nor do you give up your anger. I wonder how you could have become so hardhearted--so pitiless and so distant. At one time you doted on me so much. 23. Her heart was gratified for a moment (by the entreating of her lover, but it became heavy with intense anger at the remembered offence and although turned back (from jealous anger for a moment) sinks down again in jealous anger. 24. You wicked man (rastal, rogue), you don't hesitate to misbehave and cause pain to a fruitless ineffective) and gentle person like me. Well, go ahead and enjoy yourself. Of the duo (two) let only one suffer. 25. Her lover who was himself sad, mortified and downcast saw her unhappy face completely clouded by sorrow with its eyes lurid with terrible anger. 26. The young man splashed water in the face of his wife who had quarrelled with him, but she didn't respond in a similar way but disregarded him and engaged herself with her maiden friends--this way she caused pain to her rivals in love. 27. How much of beauty can jewellery lend to young women when they are insulted or humiliated in their bedroom ? Contentment or inner satisfaction is the only real ornamentation compared to which all the elaborate jewellery is just nothing ! 28. We know how much agony she suffered on account of separation : Once she was trying to say something but the words were completely lost, she tried to smatter a few but ended in only deep sighs. Any talk about the good qualities of others, though not a full list of all of them does come to an end-even if it is an abrupt end. But his talk about his beloved though it makes no mention of the delights of their love making together, never comes to an end. 30. The nearer he (Krsna) approached her (Satyabhama's) mansion, the deeper his heart sank in nervousness and the guiltier he felt over the offence he had given her (lit. his heart sank in serious apprehension and uncertainty).
