P. 106. L. 11-12 (Verse 13). One should not love females as they dishonour the impassioned. Still a female should be enjoyed when full of affection but discarded when void of it.-[विरक्तभावाअननुरागिणी. आर्या Metre.
P. 106. L. 14-17 (Verse 14). These prostitutes laugh or weep for the sake of wealth, make others confide in them but do not confide themselves. Therefore a man possessed of noble birth and character should abandon courtesans like Jasmine in the crematory ground. The verse occurs in Subhâshitaratnâkara, also in Nttisataka but with these discrepencies :-कार्यहेतोः for वित्तहेतोः, नार्यः for वेश्याः, श्मशानघटिकाः for स्मशानसुमनाः.-[सुमनाः.]-'सुमनाः पुष्पमालत्योः स्त्रियां ना धीरदेवयोः' इति मेदिन्यादेरेकत्वमपि. 'पुष्पं सुमनाः कुसुमं' इति नाममाला. Cf.
हसन्तं प्रहसन्त्येता रुदन्तं प्ररुदन्त्यपि । अप्रियं प्रियवाक्यैश्च गृह्णन्ति कालयोगतः ॥
Subhâshitaratnabhâņdâgâra. And
'संमोहयन्ति मदयन्ति विडम्बयन्ति निर्क्सयन्ति रमयन्ति विषादयन्ति ।
एताः प्रविश्य सदयं हृदयं नराणां -किं नाम वामनयना न समाचरन्ति' ॥
Subhâshitaratnâkar, P. 134. Metre वसन्ततिलकम्. The verse is cited in Subhashitaratnabhandagara. ____P. 106. L. 19-22 (Verse 15). They are fickle like oceanic waves; their love is of short duration as is the redness of twilight clouds. Women drain the man of his riches and then cast him off like a squeezed (piece) of red lac.-[हृतार्थाः]-हृतः अर्थः याभिः -who have exhausted wealth,-निरर्थम.]-निर्धन-penniless. The verse occurs in Subhashitaratnakara and Bhandagara. Metre उपजाति.-Cf.
'अलक्तको यथा रक्तो निष्पीड्य पुरुषस्तथा,
अबलाभिर्बलाद्रक्तः पादमूले निपात्यते.' ___P. 107. L. 2-5 (Verse 16). Fixing their heart on one they cast glances at another. They caress one but pine for another. Metre इंद्रवज्रा.-स्थादिन्द्रवज्रा यदि तौ जगौ गः:-[मदप्रसेकम्]-मदस्य गर्वस्थ
