[ 543
others have a pleasing (1987), organ, which has a beautiful appearance at the tip, which is slightly big (at the tip) and which is lovely with a central ringlike prominence. Hence we go in for vit (or go in search of it)).
57. The Section on the Appeasement (Pacification) of
the Young Damsel 543) Oh daughter (dear girl), he, on whom your love is fixed, has (only) meagre affection for you. (Hence there is no possibility of success in your love-affair). Oh you with large eyes, clapping is not done with one single hand (i.e. by using one single hand, both the hands being necessary for clapping).
544) Oh lovely one with a darkish complexion, let the lion go anywhere-he is never yoked to a plough. The same is true of a great (or good) man. Wipe your eyes and stop weeping.
545) Then (i.e. formerly), though warded off (warned) by me you used to drink (devour) (i.e.look intently at) your husband -with tearful eyes (i.e. with eyes moist with affection). But now undergoing the state of separation from him, you will languish away.
546) Dear girl, do not weep in front of clever (shrewd) "men. Your eyes will be distressed (thereby), but their minds will not be pained (or touched or moved), any more than a mountainrock (is worn away) by a stream of water.
547) My dear girl, clever (shrewd) men are very hard to please. They do not give a gift, they make a show of abundant love, (but) they do not fall in love. They capture the minds (of others), but do not give (surrender) their own to others.
548) They do not become attached to anybody. If they become attached, they do never become detached, oh you with large eyes. Shrewd (clever) men fall in love without seeing the faults of others and hence they are like the rays of the sun, which become red (in the morning at sunrise and in the evening at sun. set), not having seen the night (featar:)(i.e. after the departure and before the advent of the night).
