[P. 136. A. 2. S. 40.
We must seek for some other apt illustration such as, for instance, given in 3769as an illustration of :
वृद्धऽन्धः पतिरेष मञ्चकगतः स्थूणावशेषं गृहम् । कालोऽभ्यर्णजलागमः कुशलिनी वत्सस्य वार्ताऽपि नो॥ यत्नात्संचिततैलबिन्दुघटिका भग्नेति पर्याकुला ।
दृष्टवा गर्भभरालसा सुतवणूं श्वश्रूश्चिरं रोदिति ॥ An old woman saw her blind old husband lying on a cot in her dilapidated house, saw that the rainy season had set in, but there was no news of her only son (gone to some distant town to earn money ), saw that the pitcher containing oil had broken, saw that her daughter-in-law was advanced in pregnency and ( unable to stand these depressing circumstances ) burst into tears and wept for a long time !
This is an apt illustration of ara, the old woman's breaking under the woeful plight.
In verse 143 illustrative of 7, Sita is cleverly painted as so much overpowered with fatigue owing to her long journey that she threw her drooping limbs on the chest of th and slept there.
35A1T is a fit of madness--as shown in verse 144. King garar, here, is mad with the grief of seperation from उर्वशी and asks a swan to return his wife (उर्वशी) who, he thinks, had been soten by the swan!
Hla: fainting or swoon.
“sfâ was stunned by the sudden grief, the functions of her senses were stopped ; and for a time her mind was blank-it was good in a way, for she became unconscious (during her swoon ) of her heavy grief.". (verse 145. )
This swoon of fa is due to an overpowering grief,
