-XXIV. 321 ] THE BASIC REPRESENTATION 481

314. He who has green wounds [received from a another woman] and is proud of it and remains silent [in conceit] is called "indifferent" (virūpa)¹.

315. He who approaches the woman more resolutely than ever even when he is guilty [towards her] and bears the marks of such a guilt and is forbidden to approach, is called "shameless" (nirlajja)¹.

316. He who being guilty towards her tries to enjoy a woman's embrace by force and does not think of concilating her, is called "cruel" (niṣṭhura)¹.

317. These are the ways of using words to indicate whether a lover is dear or not so. In different circumstances¹ one should use the opposite [of these]².

318. These should be the rules [of address] in songs with a gentle dance as well as anything to be expressed in words for the Erotic Sentiment¹.

319. This is the rule about the representation of incidents relating to the harem. I shall now describe in detail the rules regarding the goddesses (lit. celestial females)¹.

Goddesses in human roles

320. The dress of goddesses is always brilliant, their mind is always full of joy and their time is always passed happily and in sports.

321. Celestial males have no jealousy, anger and malice in life and they require no propitiation of their females.
