[P. 148. A. 2. S. 54.
(with the flow of her waters shrunk) and will look pale (owing to the withered leaves falling in it.) Thus she will, by her love-born state, speak of your good luck (i. e. of being loved by her); do, then, undertake a thing by which you can remove her emaciation (i. e. enjoy her).
Love between a river and a cloud is here described, but both these are insentient things and hence the रसाभास.
Verse 159:-The mass of thundering clouds (women) slow on account of plenty of water in them (languid with pregnancy) are lying on the plateau of this mountain (are lying on the lap of their lovers). Here the languidity (of the clouds ) is described.
Verse 160, which describes the spring, where the male bees are drinking honey with the female bees in the same flower, and the male deer is scratching the body of the female deer, is an instance of as the love of lower kinds of animals (such as the deer and the bees) is depicted therein.
Again the same is found in the verse 161 where the elephant is described as offering water to his beloved and the a bird is described as giving a lotus-fibre to his beloved (both lower kinds of animals). In verse 162 a male says to his wife:
"I take your leave now; the day is over, come, embrace me for the last time; pass this night, somehow, all alone. It is not that I am faithless to you or that I am angry with you; but I have to leave you because destiny wills it," Here again the love between a male and his beloved is described.
