________________ A 431. A. 7. S. 52.) 258 is a grace of women but on other occassions; but when insulted a man must show his spirit and a woman at the time of love-sports must show boldness. Drooping of limbs (315418) owing to the excitement of mind is साध्वस; and प्रागल्भ्य is opposite of this as is illustrated in the verse 742. The whole verse runs thus: आशु लङिघतवतीष्टकराग्रे । नीविमर्धमुकुलीकृतदृष्टया ॥ रक्तवैणिकहताधरतन्त्री। मण्डलक्वणितचारु चुकूजे ॥ When the hand of her lover reached as far as the knot of her lower garment, a woman with her half-closed eyes ( through intense joy ) made a sound as sweet as the sound of the lower strings of a lute. These graces belong to the body not to the mind. They are found only when there is an absence of rashness, anger and other kindred feelings. Even high and others are not mental qualities. They, therefore, can not be included under Hias. शाक्याचार्य राहुल and others add to the list of these graces some other graces such as Alisa simplicity, मदभाविकत्व intoxication, परितपन fretting and snch other things. But he who calls himself a follower of a does not admit these graces as they smack of mental qualities. Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
