________________ 417. Radiant beauty : Oh young girl, having a keen desire for clandestine love-making (or carnal enjoyment), you must not wander about at midnight, for (if you do so) you will be detected (or discovered) (by people all the more easily (because of your radiant complexion), like the flame of a lamp in the midst of dense darkness. 418. Destruction of the trysting place : Though accosted, the young lady, for no apparent reason, gives no reply and gets angry with every body, when the shrubbery (undergrowth) on the bank of the river catches fire and blazes up. 419. Retort with added sting: “Yes, we are of course unchaste (licentious). Desist from associating with us. Even (so-called) devoted and chaste wives behave in such a way as to tarnish the fair names of their families. But we do not at least long for intimacy with a barber as does the wife of a certain person (viz. yourself)". 420. Embarrassment : Oh young man, wearing on her ear the pair of jujube berries given by you, the young woman went from the village-street (straight) to her house, because she was overpowered by bashfulness. 421. Malicious : Have you then, dancing (with joy) at the difficulties (or troubles) of others, ignored him as he left with a sad heart, when unfortunately I had rejected his appeasements ? 422. Delightful, but unattainable : My dear lover is like the moon, delighting the eyes when seen, pleasing even when merely touching with the hands (also, rays), possessing all the fine arts (also, all the digits) and unattainable (even) when sought after (also, because of his being in the sky). 423. Obliging horripilation : The ruffling of the cilia (on her cheek) as it were quickly pushes up the lotus on her ear, in order to ensure that the lotus does not (by screening her ear) cause any hindrance to her hearing of the message delivered by your female messenger. 424. Transient love : Oh mother, we are (i.e. I am) now (severely) distressed by (this) love which perishes in a moment i.e. which is transitory) and which shows itself only to vanish (soon), like the acquisition of a treasure in a dream.
