________________ 241. Error: The dear consorts wiped off on the faces of their sulking ladies the rays of the moon, which were blended with the rays of sapphires in their necklaces, in the mistaken) belief that they were their (sparkling) tears mixed with the collyrium in their eyes. 242. Incomparably beautiful : In this world although it is so extensive, and although it is full of thousands of lovely women, her left side resembles only her right side (i.e. no other woman in the world can equal her in beauty). 243. Adjustment and compromise : As my dear lover plays (on the flute) I dance to his tune, because his love is changeful (or inconstant). A creeper winds its body round a tree though it is firm (steady) by nature. 244. Love's difficult course : It is with great difficulty that one gets a dear lover. When one gets him it is difficult to have control over him (i.e. to command his unswerving devotion). (For) even if he is obtained, he is as good as not obtained if he is not as one's heart wishes him to be. 245. Dangerous play: Oh what a pity! She, while longing for the pleasure of (apologetic) appeasement (by her lover) and ascribing to him some imaginary lapse when really there was none, has perforcc led her naturally straightforward lover to the path of wanton (unruly) behaviour. 246. Embarrassed : "Counting off with the fingers and toes on my hands and feet, (twenty) days have now (already) elapsed since your departure. But now with what shall I count off (the days in excess of twenty) (since no finger or toe is any longer available for counting) ?” Saying thus the simple-minded lady begins to weep. 247. Vernal garment of the earth : The earth shines (now in spring) with its Paläsa flowers looking (red) like the beaks of parrots, as if it were covered) with hosts of (red-robed) monks prostrating for paying homage at the feet of the Buddha. 248. Dangerous emaciation : Oh you slender one, every full (rounded) limb of yours has already) become emaciated and every thin limb has reached the utmost degree of emaciation. What indeed is the use of continued) sulkiness (against your consort)? Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.orgPage Navigation
