________________ 44 346. Innocence : When the female friends of the young (married) damsel said to her "A Kusumbhablossom (crocus flower) is sticking to your breast", the simple-minded damsel began to remove briskly the nailmarks (or her breasts) and her friends smiled at her innocence ). 347. Scornful glances : Oh wicked one, these glances of yours, directed from your half-open, unsteady eyes turning away from me (or turning towards me) in scorn, since you are now no longer interested in me, as it were uproot my heart. 348. Blessed are they who do not love you : They do not (or need not) give out protracted sighs, they do not (or need not) Weep, they do not (or need not) become emaciated because of separation (from you) - very lucky (indeed) are those women, to whom, oh charming one, you are not dear (i.e. who do not love you) 349. Love-inspiring glances : The glances of the moon-faced damsel, which are lit up by her partially visible (sparkling) pupils, rolling about sluggishly because of drowsiness and turning obliquely, would be difficult to endure (i.e. to withstand) even for Cupid. 350. Good resolution : Having had a narrow escape with my life, I have some how put an end to the sin of love. Oh my accursed (heart, desist now and do not become attached to any man (here-after). 351. Adoration : As the young lady was looking at the fresh (i.e. newly made) nail-marks (on her breasts), her expansive bosom swelling with youthful age became adored (or worshipped) with the (two) blue lotuses of her eyes imaged (on the smooth and shining surface of her bosom). 352. Sun and moon, confrontation and coalescence : Pay homage to him (i.e. Vişnu), on whose chest the (moon-like) face of Lakşmi, imaged in the Kaustubha gem, appears like the orb of the Moon divested of its dark spot (deer) and reflected in the orb of the Sun. 353. Warning: Do not minister to the joy of your co-wives, conciliate your dear consort who is so eager for your favour. If you indulge in excessive jealous anger (sulkiness) (against your consort), you will grow emaciated like a heap (of grains) when measured out with a large-size measure.
