The lover though rebuked embraced her in anger
And lay there turning his face opposite to her.
'Has he fainted!' thus thought the doe-eyed woman
And kissed and hugged him again and again.
The verse states how the lover attained all on a sudden the
most agreeable and desired result through the acts of kissing and
embrace from his aggrieved mistress.

प्रहेलिका Prahelikā : Riddle :
The word prahelikā (pra √hel aka ā) means a riddle (roedeles roedan to
read) in the form of an enigma, a conundrum, a puzzling question, or
an obscure description of something. Riddles are more or less very pop-
ular literary forms in all ages. In folk literature as well as in oral tra-
dition, numerous forms of riddles are found to be very common.
The scope of riddle ranges from common topics to various forms
of literary style and expression. We find riddles in Vedic and
Upanisadic hymns in the form of charms, spells and incantations as
well as in classical and folk poetry.
