Another instance of Samyoga-s峁沶g膩ra is provided by
317 Dhanapala when he describes the effect of love at first
sight in the case of both Samaraketu and Malayasundari.
In the description of Samaraketu sailing in a boat,
318 the following poetic allusions to him commence the delinea-
tion of the Erotic sentiment:
(1) 啶呧ぇ啷嵿く啶距じ啶苦い啶啶� 啶た啶� 啶ぞ啶︵じ啶� 啶ㄠぞ啶ムぎ, [adhy膩sitamakara miva y膩das膩 n膩thama, ] i

] The feeling of amazement as expressed in her refle-
ctions, grows in the mind of Malayasundari whose whole body
is permeated with the passion as she observes Samaraketu.
Various evanescent feelings (sa峁僣ari-bhavas), such as bash-
fulness, shivering sensation, burning effect, heaviness of
body, anger, loss of consciousness, and etc., are depicted
319 by the poet in the following words:
