21. This gāthā is already dealt with; vide DHV S.No. (1.6) supra. Dhanika in his
commentary on DR IV. 36 observes : ---अत: केचिदभिधालक्षणागौणीभ्यो वाच्यान्तरपरिकल्पितशक्तिभ्यो व्यतिरिक्तं व्यञ्जकत्वलक्षणं शब्दव्यापारं रसालंकारवस्तुविषयमिच्छन्ति । --- न

six means of appeasing her anger, recommended to the lover by writers on Kama-sastra. Dhanika cites this gathā to illustrate this point. (Padayoh patanam natih). In disentangling the husband's hair from her anklet the heroine forgets her jealous anger towards him and manifests clearly her anxiety for him by avoiding to cause pain to him -- if she were to walk away angrily dragging his head !
25. होंत (भवत्, भविष्यत्) would be, prospective; आउच्छण (आप्रच्छन – expression of civility
on receiving or parting with a visitor, welcome, bidding farewell or taking one's leave of) घरं घरेसु - गृहगृहेषु (= प्रतिगृहम् in each and every house). The DR speaks
