Translation“When she is thrilled by the ecstasies of Cupid, horripilation and bodily convulsions wash over her like waves. Her complete absorption in sexual pleasure will be revealed by the way she closes her eyes and lets out a long sigh.” Commentary“At the time of making love, her käma will gradually intensify as the pores of her skin repeatedly become erect. She trembles, her voice falters and she draws long breaths. When she attains the climax of her rapture, she will close her eyes.” Vepathu-bhaìgä – In this verse horripilation and trembling have been compared to waves. “Just as waves rise one after another in the ocean, similarly horripilation and trembling must be arising in her body, one after the other.” |
