Part 8 - Examples of Madhyā Svādhīnapatikā

Examples of the Madhyā variety of the Svādhīna-patikā character of woman heroine:

त्वत्प्रियोऽकृत पदाम्बुजयोस्ते दातुमाग्रहमये निशि लाक्षाम् ।
वल्गु सस्मितपटावृतनेत्रा नेति नेति शनकैस्समवादीः ॥

tvatpriyo'kṛta padāmbujayoste dātumāgrahamaye niśi lākṣām |
valgu sasmitapaṭāvṛtanetrā neti neti śanakaissamavādīḥ ||^[1]

Your lord arranged your lotus feet and insisted on applying the Alta; immediately, you opened your eyes and said ‘no’ with a beautiful smile.

यदपि रतिमहोत्सवे नकारो यदपि करेण नीविधारणानि
प्रियसखि पतिरेष पार्श्वदेशं तदपि न मुञ्चति चेत्किमाचरामि ॥

yadapi ratimahotsave nakāro yadapi kareṇa nīvidhāraṇāni
priyasakhi patireṣa pārśvadeśaṃ tadapi na muñcati cetkimācarāmi ||^[2]

O! Sakhi what do I do now? My lover does not leave me, though I discourage his amorous advances and do not surrender to him.

कामक्रीडाप्रसङ्गेयदपि सखि मया वामया वारितोऽसौ
  भूयो भूयोऽपि भूयोऽप्यहह! पतिरसौ नेति नेतीति वाक्यैः ।
पायं पायं यथाऽयं मुहुरपि समुदं सादरं नाधरं मे
  मुञ्चत्यहो तथैवोज्झति न पुनरसौ पार्श्वदेशं किमेतत् ॥

kāmakrīḍāprasaṅgeyadapi sakhi mayā vāmayā vārito'sau
  bhūyo bhūyo'pi bhūyo'pyahaha! patirasau neti netīti vākyaiḥ |
pāyaṃ pāyaṃ yathā'yaṃ muhurapi samudaṃ sādaraṃ nādharaṃ me
  muñcatyaho tathaivojjhati na punarasau pārśvadeśaṃ kimetat || ^[3]

During the game of love, O! My friend, in a lovely manner, even though melting like water, I refrain and say ‘No’ ‘No’ repeatedly yet my husband happily does not leave my lower lips or my sides. O! What to do? (Here, she is a Madhyamā as she enjoys the love sport yet feels shy.)

पुष्पोद्भेदमवाप्य केलिशयनाद्दूरस्थया चुम्बने
  कान्तेन स्फु रिताधरेण निभृतं भ्रूसंज्ञया याचिते ।
आच्छाद्य स्मितपूर्णगण्डफ लकं चेलाञ्चलेनाननं
  मन्दान्दोलितकुण्डलस्तबकया तन्व्यावधूतं शिरः ॥

puṣpodbhedamavāpya keliśayanāddūrasthayā cumbane
  kāntena sphu ritādhareṇa nibhṛtaṃ bhrūsaṃjñayā yācite |
ācchādya smitapūrṇagaṇḍapha lakaṃ celāñcalenānanaṃ
  mandāndolitakuṇḍalastabakayā tanvyāvadhūtaṃ śiraḥ ||^[4]

Feeling a sudden flux, she got up from the bed of pleasure and started moving away. The husband made a gesture with his eye brow signaling for a kiss with his quivering lips. Then, the nāyikā with a smile filling her cheeks covered her face with the end of the saree and with shaking earings moved her head to the sides and declined his wish.
