Where activity takes place through sighing, weeping aloud, trembling, / and scratching the earth, that is remembered as madness (unmāda), as in: // 'With unblinking eyes like a goddess, she scratches the earth, sighs deeply, / meditates on something and, motionless, trembles with powerful horripilation; / gazing for a long time at the vīṇā resting on her body, though engaged with it, she weeps: / in just a few days, by whom has this slender-bodied girl been instructed?'
