[P. 424. A. %. S. 34.
asks questions regarding the news of her husband (or lover ), as she seems to fall in a reverie (San AT: Efa), it seems that the god of love. has begun to sprinkle the tender creeper of love newly, sprouting in her heart."
The verse presents a difficulty as regards the second line: it is stated there that the young girl is repeatedly asking questions about her lover. This shows that she has found the object of her love. But this statement goes against the characteristics of हेला, for even in the heroine is said to have found no lover. In fact 99in the following lines emphatically says. "29 daratanata1797H."
In cast mere awakening of the inherent feeling of love is meant, not the actual falling in love on the part of the heroine. This state of best serves as a foundation (fa) on which her affairs of love in future are to stand.
In the words AIFEOFIT9a997 the ceremony of wearing the sacred thread is to be performed for a Brahmin. But the fact is that unless a boy undergoes this religious rite, he can not be called a. Brahmin at all. But it is with a view to his becoming a Brahmin in future that the words. FIFETFLİCATH are used. Similarly, here in the case of the heroine, est is a state of love in which she is swayed by the feelings of love no doubt, but that love of her has no object for it yet. Really speaking, therefore, the word love has no much significance here, unless it has in view the love that the girl would cherish in future for her actual lover.
From the sutra 35, the ten natural graces, and others, of women are described.
