SAHRDAYĀLOKA touching the limbs, sirasa cumbana, i.e. kissing the head, aśru or tear's, etc. as the anubhāvas, anistā"sankā or imagining the calamity, harsa i.e. joy, etc. as the sañcarins or vyabhicārins. We have practically all this in the stanza quoted as above.
Bu. Ca. III. 13-22 describe the feelings of women eager to see the prince. Particularly the vyabhicărin called 'āvega' or haste or uneasiness i.e. love-torment, is seen prominantly depicted in these verses. Bu. Ca.

“iti dhyāna-param drstvā visayebhyo gata-sprham, udāyī nīti-śāstrajñas
tam uvāca suhsttayā.” (Bu. Ca. IV. 62) The feeling of 'nirveda' or despondency finds a beautiful expression in the words of Buddha who says:
"jarā-vyādhiś ca mộtyuś ca yadi na syād idam trayam, mamā’pi hi manojñeșu
vișayeșu ratir bhavet.” (Bu. Ca. IV. 86). Bu. Ca. V. 29, describes the anubhāvas of vatsala-rasa as read below :
