257 (P. 430. A. 7. S. 51. Verse 737 gives a very faithful description of the face of a woman who had taken the initiative and an active part in her love - sports.
Argon is the delicacy of the movements of women which is visible not only in their bashfulness but also in their anger and other harsh feelings.
Verse 738 describes the delicacy of the movements of a woman even when inwardly she was full of anger towards her lover. :
8pcalara: offering greetings..... Portrait etc. obeyed every order.
न दृष्टेः शैथिल्यम् etc. but there is no loving softness in the gaze.
üza: dissimulation, pretext.
Verse 739 describes the dignified resignation of Arect to the acute pangs of unfulfilled love. She says: “Let the moon blaze forth in the sky every night with all her digits. Let the cupid burn. I shall never do anything that will bring stigma on the fair name of my parents. My life or my lover is not as dear to me as the fair name of my family.
sitarsi is a sweet humility even in anger and such other harsh feelings.
Verse 740 : Though there was frown on her face she hung it. She laughed significantly at me, but did not utter a single harsh word. She stared at me with her eyes brimming with tears. She did not gaze at me with a look of command. Thus she showed her anger towards me but did not give up humility. Boldness in love-sports and other things is grotexu.
Verse 741 : Peaceful nature is an ornament of man, no doubt, but on other occassions, as bashfulness
