(P. 421 A. 7. Si 310
You silly woman! if you are going to meet your lover thus proclaiming, as it were, publicly your march, why do you frequently cast frightened looks in all directions ? If you wanted to conceal your identity, you ought not to have dressed yourself in such a gorgeous manner.
Verse 719: A woman while sending her messenger to her lover says :
“You should talk to him on my behalf in such a clever manner that he would not deem me to be a low - minded woman and would show compassion towards me." .
All the terms used for all these eight kinds mentioned above are significant and hence to define every kind is superfluous-as says 4974: -SIER GETT 17 5TH. . In the 31st sutra it is said that agent kind of a heroine can have only three of these eight states mentioned above. These states are विरहोत्कण्ठिता, अभिसारिका and egzout.
We see no reason why परस्त्री or a कन्या नायिका should not have the state of ar $781. If she can, according to 40, invite her lover to her house by previous appointment, why should she not deck her person in a charming manner and thus be a 1941. To take the word q1A$1 in the sense of a woman who, decks herself properly and waits for her husband' is to interprete the word in a needlessly limited sense.
The graces of women are next defined. These graces spring from the peculiarly happy movements (del) of the body (of women). They do not belong to the mind; at any rate, here the phyşical graces (of movements) are meant.
