[412*4
412*4) = Gäthä No. 785.
412*5) That wonderful day will dawn, on which my dear consort caught in the cage of my arms will, during the course of amorous dalliance, ask (question) me about my sufferings during his absence.
4126) Know him to be really enamoured, who accepts (gladly) what is given (by the other party), who gives (to the other party) whatever is asked for, who (willingly) eats (in the house of the other party) and entertains to dinner (the other party), who freely shares confidential secrets (with the other party) and who every now and then asks (the other party) (about his or her (confidential secrets).
43. The Section on the Female Messenger
421 1) Or rather, it is not your fault (you are not to blame).. It is the fault of the beauty which gives rise to sufferings (or which is doomed to suffering). The daughter of the mountain (i.e. Parvati), fallen into a fit of jealousy as it were, does not relent even now.
421 2) To whom are to be recounted clearly the matters missions) spoiled by female messengers? Or rather, it is wellknown in the world that gardens (orchards) infested with monkeys do not yield fruit.
44. The Section on the Love-sick Woman
438*1) She looks at the reflections of her eyes in the mirror the whole day and says: "Oh amiable one, you have been seen by both these eyes".
438*2) Oh young man (boy), in your separation, even her sufferings underwent suffering (sorrow) and when you deserted her, even her tears wept and even her sighs sighed.
For Private And Personal Use Only
438*3) Oh young man (boy), I am no messenger (coming from her to plead on her behalf). This activity on my part is not because you are dear to her. She is dying and yours will be the disgrace. Hence I am saying this as righteous advice.
