sport, who are inactive and who accept everything passively,
as they have not interest in those activities due to shame
as well as fear.
Another poet describes a newly wedded
141 girl who gives pleasure as well as pain at the first meet,
by turning away her face when she is embraced; by stopping
(avoiding) the kisses as she shakes her head by removing
his hand which is placed on her breasts; and by desiring
142 to go away.
The behaviour of this girl, no doubt,
resembles the attitude of a girl described by the Kama-
sutra.
