She is the one whose husband comes to her in the morning with visible signs of dalliance with another lady. This 苍腻测颈办腻 is overcome by jealousy and rebukes him. The word 笔谤腻迟补岣� is just not morning, but an indication of the aftermath of making love. 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨办补峁囜弓丑腻产丑补谤补峁嘺尘 gives a definition similar to 搁补蝉补尘补帽箩补谤墨

The heroine is called a 碍丑补峁囜笉颈迟腻 if her 苍腻测补办补 comes to her in the morning with reddened eyer or eyes full of sleep adorned by the nail marks of another woman. 艢峁涐箙驳腻谤补尘补帽箩补谤墨 refutes the definition given by 搁补蝉补尘补帽箩补谤墨 as being too narrow. It says by saying 鈥�Anyopabhogacinhita鈥�, the scope of the 苍腻测颈办腻 is restricted only to visible signs of dalliance and does not include situations where she hears dalliance or infers it through some other means.
These too he says are 碍丑补峁囜笉颈迟腻 苍腻测颈办腻s. Like the following example:
啶曕啶苦え啶灌啶︵く啷� 啶啶傕 啶啶班ぞ啶ㄠ啶むた啶� 啶掂啶げ啷�啶曕啶ムぞ啶多啶班た啶むぞ啶� 啶た啶多啶ㄠさ啶氞え啷堗ぐ啷嵿う啷佮啶栢 啶ㄠ啶む 啶� 啶啶曕啶むぎ啶苦く啶� 啶溹え啶 啷�

What is the point, if you have already come to the conclusion that they are speaking the truth? O dear then do whatever you deem fit to me and be happy.鈥�
So, according to 艢峁涐箙驳腻谤补尘补帽箩补谤墨 the definition by 顿补艣补谤奴辫补办补 is wider.
啶溹啶炧ぞ啶む啶洁え啷嵿く啶距じ啶權啶椸さ啶苦啷冟い啷� 啶栢ぃ啷嵿ぁ啶苦い啷囙ぐ啷嵿し啷嵿く啶距啶粪ぞ啶た啶むぞ 啷�

The heroine who is jealous due to the knowledge of the hero鈥檚 dalliance with another woman is a 碍丑补峁囜笉颈迟腻 苍腻测颈办腻 says 顿补艣补谤奴辫补办补.
艢峁涐箙驳腻谤补尘补帽箩补谤墨 also suggests 鈥�N膩m膩nuk奴l膩 kalpan膩 办腻谤测腻鈥�, that is the definitions must actually take full significance of the name (of the type of heroine). Since the word 碍丑补峁囜笉颈迟腻 means 鈥榗ut鈥� or 鈥榮hattered鈥�.
艢峁涐箙驳腻谤补尘补帽箩补谤墨 comes up with its definition as being a 苍腻测颈办腻 who is offended in her course of love
啶多啶權啶椸ぞ啶班ぐ啶膏ぞ啶ㄠ啶曕啶侧啷嬥お啶掂い啷� 啶栢ぃ啷嵿ぁ啶苦い啶� 啷�
