With reference to the words "fit for amorous indignation": Even in the action of practicing amorous indignation, which consists in the knitting of brows, crooked eyes, trembling lips, and observing, the maiden possesses independence; yet a particular intention denoted by the word "her as such" impels [her]. No other action, however, is mentioned for it. Moreover, the entry of the mentioned action of indignation into itself is illogical. For an intention too is certainly contained within an action consisting of an accumulation of operations, as the author of the Mahābhāṣya said: "Whatever instigation or entreaty is preceded by that intention, all that is the meaning of cooking." And since remembering and so forth can be its operation, one must not say that it is not a kāraka. Intending precisely this, he says: "into itself."
