Note 16 — II The heart of a Woman
Reading edition
There is no vulgarity in this idea: it is a poetical degree in the scale of passion. An abhisáriká is a lady so mastered by her love that she cannot wait for her lover, but goes to him of her own accord. There are all sorts of conditions laid down to regulate her going: she must not go in broad daylight, but in a thunderstorm, or dusk.
