राजसतामसशरीरेष्वसंभवात् here the author seems to have made a confusion of meaning as regards the word
a. He himself interprets the word as "belonging to the body" and not in its usual sense of the quality of. The remark ¬¬¬¬¬¬â etc. is, therefore, out of place. He almost means to say that these graces of the movements of the body are found only in superior kinds of women and, therefore, queerly remarks that these graces are not found in the persons of Chandal women! But he does not seem to be satisfied with his own explaination, for he further remarks that if these graces are at all found in Chandal women, they speak of their belonging to a superior type!
These graces are found in men also; why then restrict these graces to women alone? The answer of the author is that these, and no other, are such as heighten the charms of women, while in the case of men, not the grace of movement but a face beaming with enthusiasm is his best ornament. It is because of this that the word is applied commonly to all kinds of heroes.
These अलंकारs or graces are of two kind: अलंकारs of the first kind are called s, that is to say, they are found in the body almost as a matter of instinct formed, in its turn, by the feeling of love familiar in the previous life of a woman. अलंकारs of the second kind come into existence in this life of a woman, when the latent feeling of love in her heart is clearly manifested in this life on account of stimulations received. These latter kinds of Rs, therefore, vary in number with every individual woman. But the first kind of graces are found uniformly in all women with only a difference of degree in quality.
