should have his destruction from here (meaning hiniself). It is not good to cut even a poisonous tree when once we have nutured it ourselves.
The difference between eat and fact is that अपदेश is pointing to some person or thing. Here शंकर points to himself by the word इतः. निर्देश is a veiled reference to a person or thing. For instance in the sentence 53a sfa faltfa faosa” the meaning is: "Somebody of somebody is here", here the girls point their finger towards area without naming him.
(18) hat means sign. This also is sometimes a clue. For instance in the verse 55 Parvati at once knew that TFT was bent upon eliciting from her some sort of answer to his random question and as an answer, as it, were shook her head (meaning that she was not willing to speak ).
(19) sah is gesture or motion of the various limbs of the body indicating internal feelings. This is also a clue as shown in verse 56. “He wanted to know when they would meet again, but could not openly ask so in the midst of a large company. He, therefore, simply looked at her. She understood the query and as an answer closed the petals of the lotus in her hand meaning thereby: 'we meet at night'.
(20) 311917 is the expression of the face as giving clue to one's internal thoughts; as in 57. “ Your desire is known by your hot sighs" etc.
Thus one or more of these clues (as the case may be ) definitely restrict the direct meaning (arenpoi) of a verse. But even after this direct meaning is grasped by the readers, a deep subtle meaning lurks behind
