________________ 9 65. Spider hanging from its filament: Look here, the spider clinging with upturned legs to its own filament hanging down from the inside surface of the thatched roof, appears like a single Bakula flower woven on a hardly visible (i.e. extremely fine) thread. 66. Cooing of the doves : Because of the screaming (cooing) of the pigeons which are resting round about the slightly visible metallic pin (or peg) (supporting the tapering wooden dome on the top of the temple-turret), the temple is sighing (shrieking) with pain, as if because it has been. pierced with a pale. 67. Speak out frankly: If you are not his sweet-heart, why do you then sleep the day out, with your limbs. wearied, like a calf intoxicated by drinking the first milk of a cow (or buffalo) that has given birth to it only recently? 68. Suspicious : In the very long winter nights you must be getting ample sleep, as your husband has gone away on a journey since quite long. It is (therefore) not good (i.e. it arouses suspicion about your virtue) that you sleep by day too. 69. Horripilation due to fear and not roused up passion : If, oh charming one, I set down on your foot this tired foot of mine lifted up through fear of the mud, why do you then laugh at my body covered with horripilation (due to nervous fear)? Siva's profound regard for Pärvati: Just at the moment of Parvati's wedding (with Siva), her friends were convinced of her conjugal bliss (in the form of Siva's profound regard and love for her), when Śiva discarded the bracelet made of the coils of the snake Väsuki. 71. Loss of charmingness: A festival which has actually arrived (i.e. already commenced); the moon lingering till late in the morning; love which eventually becomes insipid (or embittered); and jubilation not accompanied by (generous) gifts - all these do not look charming (i.e. lose all their charm). 72. Cheer up; he will come back before the rains : Oh lady whose husband has gone away on a journey, be of good cheer (do not despair). These are the peaks of the Vindhya mountain (in summer), appearing dark because of the black ashes left behind by the forestfire and not the first clouds of the rainy season.
