विकाशिपाटलापटल Another adjective qualifying 'महोद्यान' (of the great park) with the perspiration due to exhaustion (or fatigue) caused by lovoencounters (or sports) on the person of the city-ladies (or damsels) being drunk (i.e. dried up) by wind pleasing on account of its contact with the fragrance of the heap of the red 'lodhra' flowers that were opening or blooming.
afqazi (Tea) (Bowing down) modestly V.13 We pay homage to that venerable flower-arrowed god of love, who is sanctified (?) by his exploits which are beyond words, who made the gods Śiva, Brahmadeva and Vişņu eternally the servile workers - drudges (lit. 'drawers of water') in the houses of the deer-eyed ladies (Parvati, Sarasvati and Laxmi),
This stanza is adopted from Bhartshari's Srngārašataka (V.No 1). Wc have a variant reading विचित्रिताय in place of पवित्रताय. The reading 'पवित्रिar does not suit the context. 'fafafaiz' is at once significant and eminently suits the context. "Who is wonderful by' - 'who causes wonder' - is its meaning. The following extract from the commentary on TKITEICAO (Nirnaya Sagar ed 1925) may be read with profit :

P. 5. faery Having extinguished; some take the root to be fata some others, fa+vtar. Probably it is a wrong Sanskritisation of the Prakrit root fa 1 (fa+VAT)
