perhaps the only way to get over the hurdle posed by the word लालस.

So it would be advisable to shorten Facts into focaziŤ, metri causa. It is unusual for women to remove the frontal decorative mark at the time of love-making, although that is not completely ruled out, as the presence of even a tilaka mark on the forehead may be regarded as a hindrance to complete contact between the forcheads of the women and of their consorts."

V. Patwardhan.
