तरुण्यालिङ्गितः कण्ठे नितम्बस्थलमाश्रितः।
गुरूणां सन्निधानेऽपि कः कूजति मुहुर्मुहुः॥
(Vidagdhamukhamaṇḍanam of Dharmadasa)
“Who moans repeatedly, even with the elders around,
While riding on a girl who holds him by the neck?”
No doubt you’ve got it— he’s a jala-kumbhaḥ “water-pot”. This is one of the 200+ verses present in the vidagdha-mukha-maṇḍanam (“An Ornament to Lips of the Clever”) , a medieval book of riddles by a Buddhist author Dharmadāsa. Here is one more ribald riddle from the same author—
आपाण्डु पीनकठिनं वर्तुलं सुमनोहरम् ।
करैराकृष्यतेऽत्यन्तं किं वृद्धैरपि सस्पृहम् ॥
“What is that alluring object
— round, firm and white all over—
which even old men long to grasp?”
That attractive object, says Dharmadasa, is a ripe bimba fruit (pakva-bimba-phala). It is rather strange for a bimba fruit to arouse so much excitement in old men. A subhāṣita anthology gives a more reasonable answer— a snuffbox.
