Dr. Bhayani reconstructs the gatha as follows : उचेसि जा कुसुंभं तावचिअ पुत्ति फुलिया पूवा (? पूगा) । मग्गेण महुअपंती कल्लाणपरंपरा तुज्झ / तत्थ || (उचिनोषि यावत् कुसुम्भं तावदेव पुत्रि पुष्पिता: पूगा: । मार्गे मधूक-पङ्क्ति : कल्याणपरम्परा: तव ॥) We may translate the gatha as follows : As you are collecting the kusumbha flowers, look, dear girl, a series of lucky things (for you) is taking place - the pūga (betel) trees have burst into blossom,

I hope you will live happily there (or you should have a happy time there)!

833. This gātha is already dealt with; vide ŚP S. No. (601.162) supra. Bhoja cites
it here as an example of सङ्केतागम (आगम = coming near, approaching).
Mathuranatha Sastri (p. 83) thus introduces the gatha : 'सङ्केतस्थाने नायकस्त्वत्प्रतीक्षया कामपीडामनुभवन्नुत्ताम्यति' इति नायिकाम् अन्यान् प्रति च तत्र गमने भयं सूचयन्ती दूती तावदन्यापदेशेनाह'(The word TTH probably has reference to the arrival of the nāyakā (or nāyikā, as the case may be) at the love-tryst.
