though he had half got up (from bed). Moreover - (or,
and then)1081-1084. The couples brought to an end their sexual intercourse,
during which passion was inflamed by conversations appropriate for the occasion, during which horripilation was caused by the pleasure of the close touch of each other's body, during which the beauty of their lotus-like faces was apparent with flushing (of the face) as the (kissing) lips were taken apart for a moment, during which faces looked weary with eyes rolling behind (closed) eyelashes, (the intercourse) which was rendered charming by the “Seetkāra” caused by each (partner) being pricked and scratched by the other's finger-nails, during whịch beds were moistened by the unguents applied to the body made wet by perspiration and during which the incomparable happiness was known only by one's (i. e. enjoyer's) OWA
mind. 1085. Theri, with their bodies fatigued at the end of violent
sex-play, the couples, with all their haughtiness forgotten,
slept for the remaining part of the night. 1086. The eyes of those couples, with their eye-lashes closed
in deep sleep served like the closed door-panels to keep
the inner happiness within. 1087. Then, proclaimed by the bards and indicated by the
morning-songs, morning came, as the king's joy was
enhanced by the long-awaited (time of) departure. 1088. Tainted by the slightly reddish hue spreading upwards
from the East little by little, the expanse of the sky became
gray-white like the feathers of a pigeon. 1089. Filled with the chatter of the flocks of birds Aving away
from their nests, the woods as if woke up longing to see
the face of the Beauty of the Day. 1090. Loosened by the morning breeze blowing, the clusters of
little stars dropped down like so many dew-drops from the sky-tree.
