Moreover, in the Pathetic Sentiment (karuṇa), the Gait should be performed with steady steps, eyes filled with tears, and limbs weakened (or drooping) accordingly.
With arms alternately raised and lowered, and with loud weeping, one should walk using the Adhyardhikā Cārī, especially in connection with a fresh or recent calamity.
This (Gait) is to be used for women and persons of the inferior type; but in the case of superior characters, it should be performed with patience and with tears in the eyes.
निःश्वासैरायतोत्सृष्टैस्तथैवोर्ध्वनिरीक्षितैः । न तत्र सौष्ठवं कार्यं न प्रमाणं तथाविधम् ॥ ६४॥
With deep sighs, extended upward glances, and upward-directed looks — in such cases, there should be no Sauṣṭhava (poise or elegance) of the body, nor should there be any fixed measure (of movement).
For characters of the middling type also, the Gait should be applied according to rules: with the chest drooping, enthusiasm lost, and the mind agitated by grief.
