recognising it by the sattvic manifestations of emotion, said to one another:
'She has surely caught sight of some object of love from another birth, / and meeting with it after a long time, she has fallen into a swoon of joy.
Otherwise, why would she, who is exceedingly clever, suddenly swoon / while viewing the picture-scroll in secret?'
Having properly discerned the cause of her swoon, / they calmly attended to her with exceedingly cooling remedies:
One fanned her with fans made of plantain leaves; / another adorned that blessed lady with lotus-stalk bracelets.
Another sprinkled her with copious sandal-paste juice; / one dispelled her grief with fresh aśoka sprouts.
Another sprinkled her vine-like body, withered by separation from the beloved object, / with sprays of shower-water from the fountain-pavilion.
One covered her body with a cloth moistened with water; / others anointed her with a smear of camphor powder.
One arranged a soft bed of lotus leaves; / another, removing the diamond jewelry from her body,
fashioned a pearl necklace on the circle of her breasts; / and one moon-faced woman made that slender-bodied girl
lie on a slab of moonstone that was cool with oozing cold water.
Seeing her thus attended to, the personified intellect [Buddhiśarīriṇī], / whose own body was overwhelmed with deep distress, spoke to those female friends:
'I know the supreme medicine to pacify her distress; / remove all these treatments without delay.
I will relieve her of distress instantly; behold the wonder!
On seeing the picture-scroll, she suddenly fell into bewilderment; / surely, the ground of her love is here alone.
Therefore, by touching the picture-scroll, she will leave her torment behind.' / Then, at the word of Buddhiśarīriṇī, her attendants
placed the scroll before her and said: 'Look at the scroll, Kalāvatī, / where your favorite deity, who brings you joy, is present!'
