sight of the moon possessing a pleasing face --- and though having its advancing inundating waters checked by the huge embankment ---, it does not come to rest (i.e., does not cease to have rising waves).

Thus in this stanza, the feeling of love, while giving up its purely psychic nature, does not lead to external physical (visible, palpable) effects (such as perspiration, tremor, etc.), and so it is described or presented here (by the poet) as resting on the bed-rock of the vital force itself." - M.

My clever maiden friends will notice this the next morning and they will draw the inference that I played the part of man and will laugh at me". This suggested sense is however asphuta (indistinct).”
