________________ 16 Notes [ St. 35-38 are given here four ways of the co-habitation of gods...(1) a god with a goddess; (2) a god with an Audarika female ( human being or lower animal ) when there arises in the god that kind of desire; (3) a male (human being or lower animal ) with a goddess when there arises in her that kind of desire; and (4) a male (lower being or animal) with an Audarika female. The co-habitation of the Yakshini and the prince falls into the third variety. When a deity knows of the feeling of love in a man for her, she bears the उत्तरवैक्रियिकशरीर ( a body different from her natural one ), removes the gross matter from the body of the man and replaces it with fine matter which causes him no trouble, making him thus fit for enjoyment. See Stanza 35 where 3791H means gross and 9TH means fine. 27551T (Sk. Taf) wife. faceffat enjoy themselves. St. 37. stefa (Sk. gerufra) make a search. सुद्धिमत्तं (Sk. शुद्धिमात्रं ) mere information. St. 38. The first line gives a general observation in the interrogative tone-is it possible for human beings to get back what has been taken away by gods? The second line furnishes the reason for it viz. the presence of difference between their respective powers and capacities.
