________________ 354. Saw of separation splits the heart : While her heart is being torn asunder by the saw in the form of unbearable separation, a line of tears mixed with the collyrium (in her eyes) is falling (on her heart, i.e. bosom) as if it were a (dark-coloured) guide-line (for the saw). 355. Bad investment : Oh young girl, this would be a bad investment. Do not act rashly. Oh my friend, hearts deposited here are never recovered. 356. Innocence : Even when the climax of carnal enjoyment has been reached, the young wife ignorant about the termination of the sexual act and with her carnal desire still far from being satisfied, thinks in her mind "there is some thing yet to follow”. 357. Rewarding love : May the hearts (i.e. amours or love-makings) of prostitutes be happy (i.e. lead to the happiness of their patrons)-the hearts (i.e. love-makings) which create (i.e. give rise to and abound in) manifold amorous (or coquettish) acts (such as kissing, embracing, smiling, sulking etc.) and which quench the thirst of all people (i.e. their patrons) for impetuous carnal enjoyment. 358. Pangs of jealousy: Oh you, who have never (so far) experienced the sorrow arising from jealous anger (against your partner in love, i.e. against myself), why do you smilingly ask me about the cause of my emaciated condition? If you get a fickleminded partner in love (and become emaciated), then I shall put to you a similar question and you will know the correct answer). 359. Unheeded warnings : Those pleasures for whose sake I had sexual relations with you, disregarding the warnings of my friends, it is those very pleasures that (because of your alienation from me) are now threatening to endanger my life (itself). 360. Jealous husband : Her jealous husband does not allow her to gather the Madhūka flowers at night. But, oh mother, he goes out to gather them himself, extremely simple-minded that he is. 361. Warning: Oh my darling lady, you who are departing (in a rage), dragging a portion of your garment (which was caught by me to stop you), go slowly. You are not heeding that the middle portion of your body i.e. your waist), distressed by the heavy burden of your breasts will break (if you move away so violently).
