The words Alquà gras denote that the young Kinnara girl is a chaste women. The following stanza defines a chaste woman - naissă aigar ze aldà Afeat 331 1 à al lhaa giat ar stat giàaar ll The young Kinnara girl, portryaing in her mind the resemblance to the state of her husband, is described here by Sambara as engaged in worsbipping the dieties praying them to unite herself with her husband of the former birth before long and as unable to finish her work of portraying Him owing to her being overpowered with emotion while going on with the work of portraying. On portraying the resemblance to your state and opening her eyes with a great difficulty to look at it with eyes baving tears gathered, she might be asking in sweet words the encaged Sārikā "Do you remember my husband, for you were very dear to Him?'. She is described as having all her attempts to divert herself by singing a song glorifying her husband, rendered miserably futile. The very moment she would be commencing to play on the lute, placed on her lap baving a dirty garment, tears would be gathering in her eyes owing to the memory of her husband and would be beginning to fall on account of her recollecting how she used to sing such songs along with her husband in the former birth, on the strings, moistening them and rendering incapable of producing usual sounds. After the adjustment of the strings, she would be beginning again to sing the song, but she, owing to her mind being fully absorbed in meditating upon her husband, separated from her in her far remote former birth, forgetting what she would be singing, would not have been able to recollect that song even with great effort. Sambara says that she might be counting the number of her deaths by drawing figures by means of flowers placed on the threshold of her house from the date of her separation from her husband and that she might be having sexual enjoyment with the Sage, her husband of the former birth, in a dream and might be swooned with pain.
