VAJJĀLAGGAM
[326
experienced (by a man) that gratification which is obtained on the next day at the sight of the embarassed, lotus-like face (of the beloved consort).
326) In sexual intercourse with a woman of noble family, there is obtained a fund of all kinds of joy-due to the uninhibited surrender of the pudendum muliebre (to the consort), due to the jingling, clinking sound (of bracelets, girdles and other ornaments and due to the suppressed oral and nasal sounds (produced by inhaling and exhaling through the mouth and the nose, as a reaction to physical torment and mental joy).

327) The golden girdle surrounding the waist is producing a jingling sound; the necklace is snapping and the gems are dropping down. (Hence it must be concluded that) a battle fierce like that of the Pandava heroes (with the Kauravas) has been started by the adult (grown-up) woman (with her consort).
328) The anklet-adorned leg (of the damsel) partially lifted up at the end of the sexual intercourse looks graceful as if it were the triumphal banner-cloth hoisted after having vanquished the God of Love.
36. The Section on Love
329) Love, which reveals the beginningless, highest truth, assumes diverse forms and produces infatuation and attachment, just as Vişņu (Madhu-mathana) does. Shall we always pay homage to it?
330) Love goes on ascending (higher and higher) by means of the amiable virtues (stages), as if by the steps of a stair-case, namely, casual talk, sustained conversation, continuous association and curiosity (about each other, between the two parties).
331) We are at a loss to know how that love will terminate, that love which has started its course (career) in this manner, mamely, by drying up the bodies of nearby persons with (warm) -sighs.
