girdle, hard breathing, fatigue, hurry, tying up the hair, collecting the clothes, re-arrangement of clothes, ornaments, garlands, etc., and activities - both verbal and physical - such as lovely glances, sweet words, etc. This Sambhogaśṛngara is of unlimited varieties (a) consisting in mutual glancing, embracing, kissing, etc., Hemachandra only make a passing reference to the many possible varieties of love in union but illustrates the most important among them with one illustration only. The verse in the वृत्ति (९९) हा द्वैकासनसंगते प्रियतमे etc. ( अमरु० १९) describes how a rogue in love with two ladies enjoys observance (Avalokanadṛṣṭvā), embraces, horripolation, kissing, etc., physically and one of the ladies reacts mentally.

अनुकारकृति, लेखलेखन, वाचन, स्वभावनिह्नव, वार्ता, प्रश्न, स्नेहनिवेदन, सात्त्विकानुभवन, शीतसेवन, मरणोद्यम, सन्देश, etc. However the करुणविप्रलम्भ type of this is extremely pathetic; as, for instance, in the Verse (100) - हृदये वसतीति etc., ( कुमारसंभव, ४.९ ) - ( What you say that you stay in my heart', is a fraud; it is not a formal word;
