Women, love and pride

All these conclusions are unfit to disclose in public. But if they are not disclosed, no one will understand them.

Therefore I shall mention them, revealing only their essence, so that loving devotees will understand them but others will not.

All these conclusions are like the newly grown twigs of a mango tree; they are always pleasing to the devotees, who in this way resemble cuckoo birds.

The pride of the women is like a river flowing with hundreds of tributaries.

The characteristics and modes of love are different in different women. Their jealous anger also takes on different varieties and qualities.

It is not possible to give a complete statement about the different types of jealous anger manifest by the women, but a few principles may serve as an indication.

There are three types of women experiencing jealous anger: sober women, restless women and women both restless and sober.

When a sober heroine sees her hero approaching from a distance, she immediately stands up to receive him. When he comes near, she immediately offers him a place to sit.

"The sober heroine conceals her anger within her heart and externally speaks sweet words. When her lover embraces her, she returns his embrace.

"The sober heroine is very simple in her behavior. She keeps her jealous anger within her heart, but with mild words and smiles she rejects the advances of her lover.

The restless heroine, however, sometimes chastises her lover with cruel words, sometimes pulls his ear and sometimes binds him with a flower garland.

The heroine who is a combination of sobriety and restlessness always jokes with equivocal words. She sometimes praises her lover, sometimes blasphemes him and sometimes remains indifferent.

Heroines may also be classified as captivated, intermediate and impudent. The captivated heroine does not know very much about the cunning intricacies of jealous anger.

The captivated heroine simply covers her face and goes on crying. When she hears sweet words from her lover, she is very satisfied.
