363. Bhoja cites this gatha as an example of उत्तमा अधीरमध्या (परकीया). Weber reads
the latter half of the first half of this gatha as follows : सुंदरि मा तुवर वढउ मिअंको (सुन्दरि ! मा त्वरस्व वर्धतां मृगाङ्क:)| Weber reads चंदिआइ for चंदिमाएँ. But the meaning of these words is identical.

SK (p. 684, v. no. 378) cites it with the introductory remark : 'वयसा परिपूर्णा मध्यमा यथा-': पडिवक्ख (प्रतिपक्ष - सपत्नी); मण्णु (मन्युपुऔ) - heaps of jealous anger i.e., exciting the jealous anger of rival wives; लावण्ण (लावण्यकुटौ) jars of charming beauty, loveliness; हिअअ (हृदयधृतौ) - yearned after, longed for : guicht (Fratrat) groaning, making deep, inarticulate sound expressing pain.

The gātha may tentatively be restored as follows:
पुण्णग्गि-वाउलमणो, तह [हु] वरकुमरि तुए कओ गामो । जह जाओ वाउलओ परीहरिअ-अण्ण-वावारो || (पुण्याग्निवातुलमना: तथा [खलु] वरकुमारि त्वया कृतो ग्राम: । यथा: जात: व्याकुल: / वातुलक: परिहृतान्यव्यापारः |) पुण्णग्गि (पुण्याग्नि) - The public fire kept burning in a city square for the use of all. In Subhasita ratna-bhāndagara there is a stanza about Sisira-pathika(p.348, v.no.20) wherein this word occurs : “पुण्याग्नौ पूर्णवाञ्छ: ---". The word also occurs in SPS.No. (976.225) infra:सा माह-मास-गोसग्ग-मजिरी तं पि दिन्नपुण्णगी। मिलिआ गोलातूहे दुवे वि तुम्हे धम्मिट्ठा ॥ (सा माघ-मास-प्रातर्मज्जनशीला त्वमपि दत्तपुण्याग्निः। मिलितौ गोदा-तीर्थे द्वावपि युवां खलु धर्मिष्ठौ ।)
The gatha "पुण्णग्गि-वाउलमणो", etc., may be translated as follows : "O, charming young girl, the people of the village who were mad after the public fire in the village square, you have now made them mad after you leaving their all other normal activities !"
