comes to an end and the evening approaches slowly. Here the two
words sandhyā (evening) and divasaḥ (day) are the symbol of the
lady and her lover. The personification of these two has been possi-
ble due to their grammatical gender (ie. sandhyā is of feminine
gender and divasaḥ is of masculine gender). The two adjective
forms anuragavati
forms anurāgavatī and puraḥsaraḥ are also very significant for their
double meanings which are applicable to both the pairs 'evening
and day' and 'the lady love and her lover'
tinged with reddish hue (applicable to evening) and full of love (appli-
cable to the lady love), puraḥsaraḥ means advancing (applicable to
evening) and approaching closer and closer (applicable to the lover)
The poem suggests a scene depicting the immediate state of
separation between the pair though both of them are mutually very
much attracted and approaching closely for love in union, but as
ill luck would have it they are never united but separated for ever
and ever.
