62. The Section on Krşņa
605*1 ) Kșşņa, though sustaining the weight of the entire universe, was considered by the bulky bosom of Rādhā to be as light as a Malati petal. Who is not made light (i.e.made to lose his dignity) by love ?
605*2 ) In her separation from Kịşņa, Rādhā, standing on. the bank (of the Yamunā), wept so bitterly and profusely that even today the water of the Yarunā fons d'ark on account of the col.. lyrium from her eyes.
64. The Section of Riddles 624*1 ) Why did the adult lady not say "live long" (to her husband) when he sneezed in the midst of the servants ? But she looses the mass of her braided hair-say, why ?
624*2) A lady, born in a noble family, who had delivered and given birth to a son and who was an expert in the art of amorous dalliance-though possessed of such virtues, she was not given quarter in his house by her husband--say why?
624*3 ) Oh you possessed of a thin (slender) belly, for whose sake are you carrying a beautiful city on your head ? For whose sake are you bearing with your ear the sin of killing Karna? For whose sake you are bearing with your hand a number of monkeys?
66. The Section on the Vernal Season
637*1) The Palāśa tree bearing a number of branches, wear.. ing the dress of red flowers and giving (presenting) an offering of flowers, drove away the cold, just as Rāvana residing in Lamkā, wearing a red robe (as a mendicant), and to whom the Puşpaka vimāna had been surrendered (by Kubera), abducted Sitā.
641*1 ) The mango tree puts forth its first, unique spray of blossom, as if it were a finger lifted up to proclaim: "Is there any. one other than I who is able to create peace (accord) and quarrel: among lovers plunged in long separation ?'
