________________ 27 604. Warning: Oh young man, do not put trust in her, a harlot). These people (who speak admiringly about her) are (mere) flatterers. Look here (and say), is the (mere) perforation (of the ear-lobes) acknowledged as evidence (of a person's being a Hindu)? 605. Crows percbing on the hedge : The crows perching on the enclosing hedge and having their beaks washed down by the streams of rain, their wings hanging down and their necks curved (or contracted), look as if they were impaled. 606. Leaky roof and weeping eyes : The wife of the wayfarer ( travelling abroad) shields her little son, receiving on her own head the water dripping from the (leaky) roof, but she does not notice (in her grief over separation from her consort) that her son is being drenched by her (own) tears. 607. Dangerously absent-minded : Oh you absent-minded one, while stretching out your hand towards the hand of your teloved lover conjured up in your mind, you will fall down on the way, muddy because of the rains. 608. Waterless wash : As the consort places her on his lap, perspiration (gushing out because of emotion aroused in her) washes, like a servant in constant attendance, her feet whose borders (i.e. soles) are (still) soiled with mud sticking to them in the course of her movement to his residence (from her father's house). 609. Lingering pockets of darkness : The intoxicated swarms of bees, resting motionless on (white) lotus petals, look like (lingering) pockets of darkness (elsewhere) completely dispersed by the rays of the moon. 610. Earth-lady's grey hair : When the rainy season with its high (soaring) clouds is over like the bloom of a woman's youthful age (with its swelling breasts), the first solitary (white) Kāśa flower makes its appearance (on the earth) like a (stray) grey hair (on the head). 611. Green parrots with red beaks : Just look here : from the hollow of (yonder) tree a swarm of (green) parrots (with red beaks) rushes away speedily. The tree is as it were discharging bile mixed with blood like a person suffering from fever in autumn. Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
