] "As the slender one's (i.e.Tilakama帽jar墨's) glance repeated-
ly turns to the person approaching the door, (and at first)
flushes with joy (thinking) that it is you, (but later on)
becomes languid with pain (on knowing) that it is not you,
the drops of tears, rising at every moment out of joy and
pain respectively, gather and dry up on the surface of her
breasts in her perspiratory high (love-)fever."
Again, the description of the condition of Tilakama帽ja-
77 ry as she stealthily looks at Harivahana from her bed-chamber
finely illustrates this type. Similarly, a brief picture of
78 Malayasundari's condition after she happens to see Samara-
ketu for the first time is also an illustration in point.
(5) PRO峁TA-PRIYA (One whose beloved is away):
Dhanap膩la has taken the opportunity to depict this
type in the twin cases of Priyangusundari and Priya峁僾ad膩,
whose husbands desert them for one reason or another. Thus,
Priyangusundar墨's husband Jvalanaprabha deserts her in or-
der to earn profuse merit for emancipation and to be united
