22. SP cites this gāthā as an example of 'अध्यासात्मिका तद्भावापत्ति:'. Bhoja thus explains
this term : अर्थस्यातथात्वे ऽ ध्यासादिभिस्तथात्वापादनं तद्भावापत्तिः । सापि षोढा - अध्यासात्मिका ---- | तत्र जानतोऽ प्यतस्मिंस्तदेतदित्यारोपणमध्यास: । पृ. २२४. अध्यास = अध्यारोप (In Vedanta philosophy): erroneously attributing the properties of one thing to another (considering through mistake a rope (which is not really a serpent) to be a serpent] वस्तुनि अवस्त्वारोपोऽध्यारोप: | In the province of poetry, however, this अध्यास or अध्यारोप is आहार्य (volitional), not स्वारसिक (natural, physically existing, not fictitious). बाहूमूल lit. arm-pit, secondarily, breasts close to arm-pits अद्धअंदाण परिवाडिं v. 1. मुद्धयंदाण रिछोलिं Gahakosa (V.

"The crescent moon appearing in the western sky on the first evening of the bright half of a month is very faint and distant, and beyond your reach. But the several crescent moon-like nailmarks (? crescent moons of nailmarks) made by yourself in the arm pit of your wife during amorous play
with her, are quite distinct and within your easy reach — you can even touch • - them with your hand. This is the implication of the word muha.'
SK (p. 622) cites this gatha with the introductory remark : परिहास: स्त्रियां (या) URIT - The stanza is addressed by a woman to her brother-in-law in a jocular or humorous manner.
23. खिक्खिरी: 'खिक्खिरी डुंब-चिंध-लट्ठीए' - डुम्बादीनां स्पर्श-परिहारार्थं चिह्नयष्टिः । DSs, p. 93.
24. पडिवक्ख - प्रतिपक्ष (= सपत्नीजन) मन्यु-पुऔ (acc. plu.) - clusters of jealous anger, i.e.,
exciting the jealous anger of rival wives; लावण्ण - लावण्य-घटौ (कुट = घट) - pitchers of loveliness; पुरिस - पुरुषशतहृदयधृतौ - longed for by hundreds of men; कीस - करमात्; थणंती - स्तनन्ती groaning. Read: SK (V-v. 378); it is cited there as an example of वयसा परिपूर्णा मध्यमा (नायिका) यथा - (पृ. ६८४).
