The female messenger, instead of delivering the message of the lady who speaks here, indulged in love dalliance with the lover of the lady! The manifest signs on the body of the messenger plainly indicated that she had betrayed her friend.

According to af, here the व्यञ्जना proceeds from विपरीतलक्षणा indication of an ironical sense or contrary sense. The suggested sense here is that the messenger has indulged in dalliances with the lover of the lady in question.
