O beautiful girl, Your expertise in bindu-cyutaka occurred on account of Your past merit because, O moon-faced girl, You swiftly stole My flute, which became submissive to You. (痴颈诲补驳诲丑补尘腻诲丑补惫补 4.48)
Commentary:
There is no bindu-cyutaka in the verse because there is no double meaning. 搁奴辫补 骋辞蝉惫腻尘墨 only had in mind to make a semblance of such a correlation between 惫补艣墨 in the word 惫补艣墨-办峁泃腻 (made submissive) and 惫补峁兣浤� (flute). However, dropping the bindu (补苍耻蝉惫腻谤补) in 惫补峁兣浤� is pointless because a new overall meaning cannot be formed. The verse only says that the 惫补峁兣浤� became 惫补艣墨 (submissive). The author of 碍峁涐梗峁嚹乶补苍诲颈苍墨 simply comments: 蝉耻苍诲补谤墨迟颈, 谤腻诲丑腻峁� harir 膩ha. tvad-adh墨n膩 mama 惫补峁兣浤玹i sphu峁璦m aparo鈥檙tha岣�, 鈥淚n this verse, Hari speaks to 搁腻诲丑腻. The other, clear meaning is: 鈥淢y flute is submissive to You鈥濃�� (碍峁涐梗峁嚹乶补苍诲颈苍墨). The verse features a punar-uktavad-腻产丑腻蝉补 (semblance of a repetition) between the words 苍补颈辫耻峁噛补 and 辫耻峁噛补 in the second line.
