________________ Notes 219 722. Men born in one and the same family ! Some of them rise high (358 sfa) in fame and eminence, while some others go down (BET) in degeneration and downfall. It is like the seed, the one seed, from which shoot out the roots that go down in the subsoil and also the sprouts (317) that go up higher and higher. Cf. एकस्मादेव बीजादुत्पन्नानि मूलानि अकुराश्च क्रमेण पृथिव्या अध: ऊर्ध्वं च यथा गच्छन्ति तथैव एकत एव कुलादुत्पन्नाः केचित् पुरुषा अपकर्ष केचिच्च उत्कर्ष Tagi: 1 Com. 724.

First thing is loosening the knot which ties together the two flaps of the bodice. The hand, therefore, slides over to the place of the knot (aftsgru) which has become tight and hard (1995), being constantly pulled (31737f5c) by the weight of the breasts (4T), full and plump ( a s). The bodice is fastened by means of a string passing (HAM) through eyelet-holes (FTLET). 732. The lower part of the bodice has a linen strap with eyelet-holes (alfo2m), which encircles the upper portion of the stomach. As this strap was being loosened by the lady with her deft, delicate fingers, the bared parts of the belly looked lovely Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
