the hips (760) of the two meet and press against each other (atfs3r), so much so that no gap is left in between (forete).
1154. Due to heavy drunkenness, the sexual indulgence in pleasures (T3TTS) of these gay ladies sees, no end at all (UT Fajfa foast), although it becomes insipid in spite of the fact that its tempo has increased (ascaui<hrs). This is because of the fact that the heart behind, now fully satisfied, is emptied (your) of its fervour and has dropped away (feast), declutched from the seats or sources of pleasure. What goes on now is only a frequent, copulative exercise of the bodies, a veritable battle of the two sexes (F#-##T).
1155. The copulative couples dervied greater pleasure by prolonging the sexual intercourse (sfacere), in which they had to set aside ( Elftar) at intervals, during this long session, their carnal happiness (t , by seeking distraction in other allied activities for pleasing and rousing (3TUOTTUOTTUTET) their partners. At this time, their hearts had momentarily dropped away (खणखलिअहिअय) from thoughts of sexual indulgence. Cf. अन्योन्याराधनाथ क्षणमात्रं स्खलद्हृदयत्वेन अर्थान्तरव्यापारितचित्तत्वेन अवधीरितोपनतरतिसुखानि सुखमभ्यधिक रतविस्तरेण प्राप्नुवन्ति मिथुनानि । तदुक्तम् । feugai tande Etchat farefreeHTani fafat i Com.
1157. As the Commentator says, the posture described in this Gāthā has a technical name age, which is thus statedFUTSATawau 2199 ront-fat sige: 1 ATHTE II. 6-15. In this pose of a total embrace effected by the man and his woman (Hoan गालिंगण), the two bodies are pressed close (णिरंतर) to each other from the mouth to the thighs (311931UTTE) and down below the man's legs are intertwined in those of the woman (चलणेसु कअचलण).
1158. The breasts of young married girls (7) appeared big and prominent (fa375), as they developed plumpness (FRUITE) because of their youth (Floquiufcure). Of the same and equal dimension (aufconie) was their condition of horripilation (1 ) or the erection of hairs; but it looked as if it was thin and sparse, as in this condition of the gooseflesh, distance or gaps between the hairs increased to cover a greater area. For a parallel, one may imagine the picture of rice plantation, where seedlings, grown first in a small plot of land, are transplanted in a bigger field, leaving greater gaps in between the seedlings.
