Translation
The sudden smile lighting up their face; the shy and slightly apprehensive attitude; (innocent type – very young) avoiding direct eye-contact; throwing momentary glances now and then; (the middle type –slightly older) amorous sports like soft speech; words of envy about other women; and love-quarrels; (experienced adults) through these and also through whatever they do naturally, women bind (the men). ॥ 2 ॥
