वेद्यम् । ' प्रत्यक्षेऽधिक्कृतेऽध्यक्षः ' इत्यमरः । अङ्गं श्यामासु the physical frame [of a beautiful woman ] in the Syama-creeper. From the point of tenderness, thinness etc. there being similarily between the Syamacreeper and the body of a beautiful woman, the Sage is asked by Sambara to call to his mind the physical frame of a beautiful woman on the basis of his knowledge of the Syama-creeper. It is implied that the Sage, though ignorant of the beautiful bodies of women, should make use of his knowledge of Syama-creepers acquired by him through his movements in the forests where he is practising penance. Here, this reference to the Syama-creeper reminds one of far, one of the many varieties of women. The characteristic qualities of are enumerated as- ' शीते सुखोष्मसर्वाङ्गी ग्रीष्मे या सुखशीतला । तप्तकाञ्चनवर्णाभा सा स्त्री श्यामेति कथ्यते ॥ ' दृष्टिपातं चकितहरिणीप्रेक्षिते - (her) glances in those of the frightened doe. Sambara means to say that the Sage should recollect the beautiful fickle eyes of a beautiful woman on the basis of his knowledge of the beautiful fickle eyes of a frightened doe with which he is well acquainted owing to his residence and movements in a forest. The beautiful eyes of a frightened doe become fickle. By the word aítacíosìàíãà. employed in this stanza, beauty and fickleness of the eyes of a beautiful woman are suggested. afar भयाकुला चासौ हरेिणी मृगी च चकितहरिणी. This being a कर्मधारय compound, the word is changed to when compounded with the word हरिणी under the rule ' पुंवद्यजातीयदेशीये ' चकितहरिण्याः प्रेक्षितं प्रेक्षणमवलोकन व्यापारः चकितहरिणीप्रेक्षितम् । तत्र । वक्त्रच्छायां शशिनि
