VAJJALAGGAM
यन्त्र
one who operates the sexual machine or appartus, one who secretly practises coitus on the wives of others, by seducing them. (1) any machine, such as an oil-press, sugarcane press, grinding machine etc. (2) sexual machine, appartus or gadget. The word is found used often in Vätsyayana's Kamasutra in the sense of sexual organ, appartus or machine. The word af is formed from यन्त्र by adding the Taddhita suffix ठक् or ठञ् (= इक), in the -sense of तेन जीवति, according to Pānini IV. 4.12 ( वेतनादिभ्यो जीवति ), the sword यन्त्र being regarded as included in the आकृतिगण, वेतनादि. The .commentator remarks on stanza 533 that यान्त्रिक means यन्त्रेण चरति, where means 'works, operates, plies or earns his livelihood'. · Gamgādhara on Hāla 555 explains जंतिअ by यन्त्रकर्मकारक. गुल ( = गुड) (1) sugar, raw sugar, jaggery, (2) pleasure or joy (, as the commentator says). 1g=1, 18 to ply, to operate, to -work मे इच्छाई according to my desire, to my satisfaction. अरसन्न = one who does not know the secret, simple, foolish, inept. The reading (=) in Hala 555, is explained by Gamgadhara as follows: रसो द्रवोऽनुरागश्च । अरसिक द्रवस्यानुरागस्य च विधानानभिज्ञ । (1) one who does not know how to extract the juice out of the sugarcane (2)one who does not know how to inspire love (passion) in the heart of his partner in amorous dalliance. Ii is quite possible that on the erotic plane, the author intends to convey by the word the sense of the moistering or liquefaction of the vaginal passage. To, the neuter gender is used in place of the masculine according to HS.VIII,1.34 (g: 1). One of the commentators on Hāla says : त्वं पुनर्माम् उपभोक्तुम् इच्छसि न च स्निह्यसि । Weber (1881), p. 261, renders fe as follows: "you are leaving out or omitting the juice (love)" !
534) जतवाया = यंत्रपादाः (1) legs, wooden props or supports (four in number) of the sugarcane press,(2) legs-supports-of the sexual machine (testes ? ). यंत्र male sexual organ. वियड = विकट stout, prominent, conspicuous (big, large). I stick, tube. gì (af) stick. The sense of these two words as applying to the sugar-cane press and the sexual machine is obscure. (1) the sugar-cane
is full of juice (2) the male organ is full of seminal fluid. 535) सद्दालय शब्दयुक्तम्, from the word सद्द (शब्द), with the posses-sive suffix 1, according to HS. VIII-2.159, the final standing for
