the days of separation from her consort. As her consort or lover has just arrived, she, if she continues counting the lines, might miss the golden chance of welcoming him home right now and felicitating him!
1621-1622. इष्टवयस्यानां मिथो व्यवहार: प्रियसखीवाक्यानि । यथा- प्रिय० - the words of one's
(nayika's) dear friends or conversation between dear friends.
1621. The situation behind this stanza is to be understood as follows : The young
bride is in her bed-chamber. Her friend (अत्ता = सखी) suddenly enters and announces the pleasant news of the arrival of her consort to the young newly married girl. She is overjoyed at this good news and consequently embraces her friend to express her great joy ! कंठ-त्थणिअ = कण्ठकूजित.
See ŚP S. No. (616.165) above. SK (p. 591, v. 54) defines sankā (apprehension) one of the thirty-three vyabhicăribhāvas and cites this gāthă

1623-1624. प्रियागमपारितोषिकमङ्गलानि दिष्ट्या वृद्धयः। यथा - दिष्ट्या - "thank heaven ! I
congratulate you on your good luck !" often with vardhase : you are
fortunate; दिष्ट्या -वृद्धि congratulation. 1623. See $P S. No. (1348.289) above. 1624. See SP S. No. (1356.290) above.
1625-1626. पूर्णपात्रादिहरणं प्रीत्यादयो यथा - पूर्णपात्र - a vessel filled with valuable things
to be distributed as presents, especially a present made to any one who brings good news; प्रीत्या (ind.) in a state of joyful excitement, gladly, with joy.
1625. Dr. H. C. Bhayani thus restores the gatha:
