44 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA अत्र रतार्थं प्रविशेति व्यङ्ग्यम् । णोल्लेइ अणोल्लमणा अत्ता मं घरभरम्मि सअलम्मि । खणमेत्तं जइ संझाइ होइ ण व होइ वीसामो ॥१८॥ अत्र संध्या संकेतकाल इति तटस्थं प्रति कयाचिद्द्योत्यते । सुव्वइ समागमिस्सदि तुब्झ पिओ अज्ज पहरमेत्तेण । एमेअ कित्ति चिट्ठसि ता सहि सञ्जेसु करणिज्जं ॥१९॥ through the loveliness of its bowers, the sportive graces of the lovely woman ! and further, O delicate one ! here are blowing breezes favourable to love-making, led as they are by the God of Love flurried with unaccountable excitement.’ Here the meaning suggested is—‘ let us enter the bower for the purpose of love-making.’ [This suggestion is due to the expressed meaning of the following words---(1) ‘ Tanvī ’, which expresses delicacy brought about by the influence of love,—(2) ‘ Narmadā,’ the literal meaning of which is ‘ that which gives pleasure ’,---3) ‘ uddeśa ’ which means ‘ that which can only be pointed out, and not easily reached, hence free from intru- sion,’—(4) ‘ sarasa ’ denotes freshness of the leaves, hence freedom from all fear of any shuffling sound being made,—(5) ‘ śreṇī ’ denotes thickness of the grove, and hence invisibility from outside.] (f) ‘ My hard-hearted mother-in-law is always urging me to all household work ; it is only in the evening that I get some respite, if any at all ’. Here a woman suggests to the person close by that evening is the only time at which assignation could be made. [The expressed meaning is that the woman has no time except in the evening, and by reason of the proximity of her lover who is waiting for assignation, this simple statement suggests the evening as the time at which she agrees to meet him.] (g) ‘ We hear your husband is coming here in three hours’ time ; why then are you sitting idle ? O, friend, make your preparations ’.
