refers to the c?¦sura, not to the sense):
"She stands outside the house, a hundred times restlessly she comes and
goes: depressed in mind, _with_ frequent sighs, she looks towards
the kadamba jungle. Why has Rai (Radhik??) become thus? serious is her
error, she has no fear of men, where are her senses, or what god has
possessed her? Constantly restless, she does not cover herself with
the corner of her robe: she sits still for a while, then rises with a
start, her ornaments fall with a clang. Youthful in age, of royal
descent, and a chaste maiden to boot: what does she desire, (why) does
her longing increase? I cannot understand her motives: from her
conduct, this I conceive, she has raised her hand to the moon:
[Footnote: She has formed some extravagant desire.] Cha.n.di D??s says
with respect she has fallen into the snare of the black one
(K.rish.na)."
This poem vividly expresses the first symptoms of love dawning in the
girl's heart, and from a religious point of view the first awakenings
of consciousness of divine love in the soul.
