She asked him to be quiet, told him not to touch her and taunted him, asking him to go to his beloved. But in this love-quarrel, patience usually won the day. If the lover, in spite of all this manifestation of anger, persisted in his importunities by touching her garment, her hand or the hair, she was placated. After making him fall at her feet, she was finally appeased and a reconciliation took place. - [Previous: c8.257](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c8.257) - [Next: c8.259](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c8.259) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c8.258](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c8.258) · Pramāṇa
