________________ 35 273. Good reason : “Why are you standing (or sitting) with your tresses anointed with ghee ?” Questioned thus (by the dear consort), the young wife smiled, bending down her face bashfully and doubly wrapped up the region of her hips. 274. Considerate : Since she knew the (poor) economic condition of her family, the wife of the poor man suppressed her pregnancy-longing just in her heart and did not divulge it, like the harsh words uttered by the (unsympathetic) relatives (of her husband). 275. Charming sight : The mother runs (about) to search out (or to pursue) the small boy absconding through fear of the barber, while her fingers are engaged in tucking (or tying) up her dishevelled tresses and holding up her slipping garment (saree). 27. Inverse proportion : As the young married girl begins to (gradually) unfold (or develop) her limbs, heartravishing because of her fresh youthfulness, her waist, her consort and her rival wives begin to grow emaciated. 277. Inverse ratio : As the husband becomes more and more enfeebled by old age, more and more sickly and ugly (loathsome), he becomes more and more dear to his noble-born wife. 278. Terribly rare : This is the young man, oh friend (or aunt), whom wanton women secure by turns (or again and again) with great difficulty, like the water of an only well in summer in a village. 279. No more any trysts here : From the (huge) banian tree in the village, oh aunt, the pale-coloured leaves struck (i.e. rudely shaken) by the wind drop down, and along with them the hearts of the palefaced wanton women. 280. Love-sick : Since she looks out aimlessly, gives out protracted sighs, smiles vacantly, and speaks unintelligible words, there must be something in her heart i.e. her heart must be set on some young man). 281. Prompt excuse : “Oh master of the house, this one here has sought our shelter, so protect (or save) him," saying thus the wanton woman hands over her paramour forthwith just to her husband, who has returned (home) all of a sudden. mauti Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.orgPage Navigation
