sanskrit
When he finds the opportunity, either openly or secretly, he gives his girlfriend a pair of wooden sheep, a wooden nanny goat and billy goat and, symbolically, a pair of earthenware or bamboo cattle, as well as images of the gods and little shrines, or cages with china parrots, since they represent the bird of Bros. Also amusingly shaped water vessels, made with pieces of conch, oyster shells, clay, wood, or stone, or a small doll representing a musician playing a miniature vina, shells containing offerings, powdered carbon (rajavarta) for drawing, and betel made with leaves with instructions for use. According to his means, he must offer whatever may be pleasing to her, giving her whatever shines. If he deems that it may serve his purpose, he offers her everything that can please her.
