590. Commiseration :
The lonely (or helpless) deer was fondled (or caressed) by the tame female deer full of deep longing, in such a (tender) manner, that the bow dropped down from the hand of the hunts-man who was fond of his wife.
591. Tender love :
The female deer thinks that the male deer (her consort) is thirsty, and the male deer too thinks that the female deer is thirsty - thus both of them (i.e. the couple of the male and female deer) do not think of drinking any water at all out of (mutual) affection..
592. Retribution:
Why do you say (to me), oh pious man (or monk), that you do not get any alms in such a large village (as this one)? Oh you destroyer of the Karañja tree (my usual trysting place), I am surprised to find that you still continue to live (whereas you should have died long ago, because of your sinful act of destroying the trysting place of lovers).
593. Fresh challenge :
Oh dark-coloured damsel, because of your bright (i.e. flashing), tremulous, sharppointed (i.e. piercing) glances channeled through the corners of your eyes, Cupid wishes (i.e. aspires) once again to wage a war with Hara (i.e. God Siva) (and defeat him).
594. Short-lived pleasure :
The tresses of the dark-complexioned girl, which had (during the bath) obtained the pleasure of (close) contact with her hips, are as it were weeping (now), when she has stood up after the bath, under the guise of the water-drops (falling down from them), through fear that they would now be tied up into a knot) (and thus be deprived of the pleasure of touching her hips).
595. Sugar-cane crusher :
Oh machinist (operator of the sugar-cane press), you are seeking to obtain sugar, but you are not operating the machine according to my desire. Oh foolish one, do you not know that sugar cannot come into existence without the juice (of the sugarcane) ? (Side-meaning. Oh you operator of the sexual apparatus, you seek pleasure, but you do not operate the sexual machine according to my desire. Oh foolish one, do you not know that pleasure cannot result without moisture (i.e. liquefaction of the vaginal passage) ?
