________________ 29 224. Too tight and close embrace : With great difficulty he loosened (disengaged) my arms (tightly clasped round his neck) like a knot tied up firmly by an ignorant person, and I too pulled out my breasts, as if immersed in his bosom. diseng med andre societatii a celupes breuses his 225. Doubly loaded and hence emaciated : You are borne (carried) by me in my heart) along with your sweetheart (enshrined in your mind), and yet, oh wicked one, you ask me why I am emaciated. Oh igno (you do not know that) even a bull droops (languishes) under a burden on his back. 226. Bad job of counting : As she, appeased by your entreaties, counted for long your lapses (against her), the poor lady began to weep because the fingers of both her hands did not suffice (for the counting). 227. Efflux of loveliness : Look, loveliness, not finding (any longer) room in her slender body, is flowing out, under the guise of perspiration, over the step-ladder of the three folds of skin (on her belly). 228. Incomparable beauty of Asoka leaves : Since fruition depends on fate, what can be be done about it (i.e. how can it be helped)? But I shall say this much): "There are no other leaves (in this world) comparable with those of the Asoka tree". 229. Vain effort : See how that damsel there is as it were washing away the deer-spot of the moon imaged on her cheek, with the pitchers of her eyes filled incessantly with streaming tears. 230.

Noble men aud great trees : The minds of noble men are like the tops of lofty (or big) trees, bending down under success (fruition) and lifted up under failure (end of the fruiting season). 232. Reassuring jingle of the bracelets : The jingling sound of the bracelets of the traveller's wife, which becomes garrulous (i.e. particularly audible) as her feeble hands are tossed about during her turnings over (in the bed) reassures the attendants (that she is still alive).
