45 These ( four types of heroine ) are :
1. Svakiyā; 2. Parakīyā; 3. Anūdhā and 4. Sādhāraṇa; according to some Anūļhā is Parakīyā only, hence there are only three
types of heroine, 46 Definition of Svakīyā and Anyā. 47-48 Description of Svīyā ( = Svakīyā ) and her
excellences. 49 Illustration of Svīyā 50 Definition of Anūdhā.
51 Illustration of Anūdḥā. 52-33 According to some Parakīyā should be trea
ted as Anūdhā for there is very little difference between the two : Anūdhā, who is herself fallen in love, desires the company of her hero; Parakīyā approaches the hero at the behest of her Sakhi. According to some others, however, there is absolutely no
difference between the two. 54-55 "Parakiyā is a woman, may be married or
unmarried, who is not the mistress of herself. An amour with a married woman may not form the subject of the dominant sentiment in the play but that with a maiden may occur as an element in the principal or the secondary action."
