Chapter VI

1. 'Cowdust-time,' viz. evening, when the cows are driven home: a favourite subject of Pahārĩ painters.

5. _'Tis not the linen shows so fair_
_Her skin shines through and makes it bright.'--_

Anon. (1671).

8. 'Lord of the Five Gaurs'--the Panjab, Kānoja, Bengal, Darbhangā, Orissā. The sway of the Princes of Gaur was of course far less extended than this in Vidyāpati's day. The term is complimentary: see Dinesh Chandra Sen, Bengali Language and Literature, p. 290.
