Amorous Pleasures
129
1152. With her heart already oppressed (pidia) with (love's) heaviness (from within ), (relief-giving) counter-pressure (padipilana) of her breasts (on the bosom of her lover) has been first resorted to by this lady, under the pretext of a keen desire for a tight embrace.
1153. Such are the tight bosom-embraces of these (lovers), who fervently indulge with pleasure in the preliminaries of (paḍhamaraa) of sexual enjoyment, that their bodies become closely united, with the hips also of both (closely) pressed together.
1154. Sexual enjoyments of amorous women, because of excessive intoxication, do not at all come to an end (na samappamti), though the heart has dropped away from them, (becoming insensitive and) empty and with increasing tempo (vaddhamta) they have become insipid (and devoid of pleasure).
1155. The couples obtain greater pleasures by the prolongation of the sexual act, although for a time (previously) they had put off this pleasure, the hearts having been diverted away (from it) in their desire to court each other.
1156. Even when love has deeply developed, such pleasures alone, as are characterised by the display (ullasa) of decorative nail-marks bestowed (upon their bodies) by their lovers, give to the ladies peculiar pleasure.
1157. Playful indulgence (vilāsa) in a total embrace of the whole body (savvamgālimgaṇa), as practised by couples, in which the (two) bodies are closely pressed tight (one over the other), from the mouth to the thighs and lower down, as even the (man's) legs are made to rest over the (woman's) legs, is indeed captivating.
1158. With these young married girls, the very same horripilation of equal dimensions became thin and sparse over their breast-orbs, (looking so ), because of the wide expanse ( pariṇāha ) gained (by them) through the prime of youth.
1159.
This smiling lady gently caresses (to feel) with her hand her lover's bosom, slightly swelling over the places of her nail-marks, furrowed deep by her heavily pressing breasts (against his chest).
