] The advent of the rainy season serves as an excitant
determinant (uddipana-vibh膩va) for intensifying the longings
of the prince. The poet has, in this connection mentioned a
few of the consequents like recollection (smara峁嘺), love-
torment (ra峁嘺ra峁嘺ka), burning sensation (d膩ha), anguish
335 (膩rtti) and incessant tears (asru-visaram ajasram).
A description of the rainy season occasions the depi-
336 ction of various treatments that could not be given to
the prince in order to counter the pangs consequent to non-
-consummation of love. It enhances the effect of prince's
love-lorn condition.
With the arrival of the Sarad season a number of eva-
nescent feelings (samcari-bh膩vas), like the constant 脴N脴D
memory of the beloved (smrti) extremely powerful mental ex-
citement (atid膩ru峁嚹乿ega) and agitation (udvega) surge in
337 the mind of the prince.
