[ 4965
496*5) As the young lady, engaged in attending to household chores, heard the noise of the birds that flew away suddenly from the bower which had been fixed up by her as the secret meeting place with her paramour, the various parts of her body felt distressed (drooped) (in nervous excitement).
496*6) The moment the lady, overpowered by new-born: (strong) passion, fastened on her hips the girdle fashioned out of the money belonging to (and given to her by) her paramour, her pudendum almost began to ooze (because of emotional excitem. ment).
496*7) The lady seized by new-born (strong) passion (forher paramour), and whose body began to perspire at the thrilling (pleasureable) touch of the ashes from that part of the cremationground where her paramour had been cremated, could not come to the end of the process of besmearing her body with the ashes.
496*8) In the midst of the very dense darkness, both the mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law were (secretly) enjoyed and released (by their respective paramours) (in a water-reservoir), and (as they began to swim their way back to the bank of the reservoir), their hands chanced to touch (or clash with) one another.
