164 BHĀMAHĀLAṄKĀRA
56. Leave off your anger of love towards this
your loving friend. Closely embrace him as he bends
down with tenderness. Let him drench you with
tears of joy as a big cloud discharging its seasonal
shower would the Vindhya mountain.
56. आशीस् expressing a wish for friendship is il-
lustrated in this verse. This verse is the pronounce-
ment of a true well-wisher who brings about re-
conciliation between two friends that had recently
come to be on bad terms due to the mischief of tale-
bearers. प्रणयाभ्यसूया Anger in love subsists between
two friends notwithstanding the recent disaffection.
अस्मिन् सुहृदि प्रणयाभ्यसूयां जहीहि. The mediator says, ‘Give
up your anger towards your friend. He is your सुहृत्
or friend. He continues to be so notwithstanding
the estrangement. In your turn your bitterness too
is not real, but only prompted by your fondness of
him.’ अमुं गाढं आश्लिष्य Embrace him closely and show
your affection. आदरेण आनतं As he bows before you
in affection. When you are thus reconciled to him
he will shed tears of joy and drench you as a cloud
would drench the Vindhya mountain with its sea-
sonal showers.
