He sees tearful farewells, the fulsome flattery of the rich and the unceremonial dismissal of the poor. At one place he sees the lovers reconciled and at another place he hears sad strains on the \*vina\*. At one place he sees the lover helping his beloved with her toilet, another lover is arranging the braid of his beloved; and a third is coaching a pet myna to imitate human speech The Vita also sees a courtesan playing with a ball, another one throwing the dice and a third is busy painting. - [Previous: c10.181](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.181) - [Next: c10.183](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.183) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.182](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.182) · Pramāṇa
