The heroine who in between her pleasures with her lord fears estrangement in the future is called a 叠丑腻惫颈艣补苍办颈迟腻.

This variety does not seem to be appropriate because the fear of estrangement is a quality against the basic confidence of a 厂惫腻诲丑墨苍补辫补迟颈办腻.
3 痴颈驳补濒颈迟补辫谤补蝉迟丑腻苍补辫补迟颈办腻
The variety brought out by 艢峁涐箙驳腻谤补尘补帽箩补谤墨 as a sub variety for 笔谤补惫补迟蝉测补迟辫补迟颈办腻 (part of 辫谤辞峁迟补辫补迟颈办腻) is 痴颈驳补濒颈迟补辫谤补蝉迟丑腻苍补辫补迟颈办腻. She is the one who convinces her hero to adjourn his journey.

This 痴颈驳补濒颈迟补辫谤补蝉迟丑腻苍补辫补迟颈办腻 should be a sub variety of a 厂惫腻诲丑墨苍补辫补迟颈办腻 as the adjournment of the journey, due to the 苍腻测颈办腻鈥檚 distress by the hero indicates his love for her and as the hero is not going away from the heroine there will be no separation amongst them, thus leading to Sambhoga. Her confidence on his love will yet increase making her a 厂惫腻诲丑墨苍补辫补迟颈办腻 and not a 笔谤补惫补迟蝉测补迟辫补迟颈办腻 who is filled with sorrow as the hero is about to depart.

Thus spoken to by the traveller his beloved seeing her Kanchuka bearing the impression of tight embrace of the round and full breasts by the lover started shedding copious tears wetting her chest, which broke his departure.[6]

4 笔谤别尘补驳补谤惫颈迟腻
痴补办谤辞办迟颈驳补谤惫颈迟腻 is a division mentioned by Bh膩nudatta in 搁补蝉补尘补帽箩补谤墨. It is placed as a general division of women before he moves on to classify them according to the conventional eight states. This 痴补办谤辞办迟颈驳补谤惫颈迟腻 is a 苍腻测颈办腻 who exhibits her pride through crooked speech. She is said to be of two types 笔谤别尘补驳补谤惫颈迟腻 and 厂辞耻苍诲补谤测补驳补谤惫颈迟腻 (also known as 搁奴辫补驳补谤惫颈迟腻). 笔谤别尘补驳补谤惫颈迟腻 is a variety of 厂惫腻诲丑墨苍补辫补迟颈办腻.
The one who is proud of her 苍腻测补办补鈥檚 love is 笔谤别尘补驳补谤惫颈迟腻. Example:

sakhi tanunayan膩ntar膩labh墨ru岣� kalayati me na vibh奴峁峁嚹乶i k膩nta岣� ||[8]O Friend! I am unable to say how lucky you are, as your lover adorns your body with ornaments studded with gems, but my beloved does not decorate me as he does not like to interrupt looking at me.
搁奴辫补驳补谤惫颈迟腻:
If the pride of the lady is her beauty, then she is not a topic of 艢峁涐箙驳腻谤补. Only if her pride is associated with a hero can she become a 艢峁涐箙驳腻谤补 苍腻测颈办腻. If a 搁奴辫补驳补谤惫颈迟腻 has an 础苍耻办奴濒补 狈腻测补办补 then she is a 厂惫腻诲丑墨苍补辫补迟颈办腻. She has to be a 厂惫腻诲丑墨苍补辫补迟颈办腻, 痴腻蝉补办补蝉补箩箩颈办腻 or an 础产丑颈蝉腻谤颈办腻 since the 苍腻测颈办腻s in viraha are not bothered by looks, she can not be any of them.
