ties. volāvia may be the past participle of the causative *vyapalāpayati (cf. vilāpayati mentioned in CDIAL 11906). This explanation of volāvia as a causative must have been current as is shown by the variant bolávia.

I still think of how I kissed her while her face was covered with coloured tuppa or ghee: our lips carefully pursed to keep our noses from touching and our foreheads from meeting.
During their monthly period women smeared their faces with a kind of coloured ghee (Gangadhara: haridrāvarmapradhān an ghrtan varnaghstan; & and T: varnapradhānaṁ ghrtam kumkumaharidrāsādhitam; Ed. p. 10). probably to mark themselves as 'untouchables'.
