c25.s2.12

‘Surely the creator hath made this world too narrow, foreseeing not so great an extension of thy breasts.’ Samādhi denotes metaphorical expression, and Daṇḍin shows how words normally vulgar can be used if the sense be no longer literal, as in the case of *vam*, vomit, *niṣṭhīv*, and *udgṛ*, spit out.
