Fresh editorial translation from the Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi-mūla-mātram authority
Now conjunction. First, the conjunction of two states of the same kind: When her long-desired sight found the demon-subduer, while her husband, red with anger, uttered half-formed words, the lotus-faced girl became motionless and unblinking, like a carved image of rigidity. Here the two forms of inertia caused by seeing the desired and the undesired are joined.

Sourceअत्रेष्टानिष्टेक्षण-कृतयोर् जाड्ययोः सन्धिः । अथ भिन्नयोः । तत्र एक-हेतुजयोर्, यथा ललित-माधवे (९.३९)- शिखरि-भर-वितर्कतः प्रतप्तꣳ समहम् अहर्निशम् ईक्षया प्रियस्य । हृदयम् इह समस्त-वल्लवीनाꣳ युगपद् अपूर्व-विधꣳ द्विधा बभूव ॥१०७॥

Now the conjunction of differing states. First, those born from one cause, as in Lalita-mādhava 9.39: Troubled by concern over the mountain's immense weight, yet simultaneously delighted day and night by the sight of the beloved, the hearts of all the cowherd women became divided at once in an unprecedented way. Here sorrow and joy are joined.
13.108
Sourceअत्र विषाद-हर्षयोः । भिन्न-हेतुजयोर्, यथा- स्थवयति नव-रागꣳ माधवे राधिकायाꣳ गिरम् अथ ललितायाः सावहेलाꣳ प्रतीत्य । चलतर-चरणाग्रेणालिखन्ती धरित्रीꣳ विधृत-वदन-पद्मा तत्र सिष्वेद पद्मा ॥१०८॥
atra viṣāda-harṣayoḥ | bhinna-hetujayor, yathā- sthavayati nava-rāgaṁ mādhave rādhikāyāṁ giram atha lalitāyāḥ sāvahelāṁ pratītya | calatara-caraṇāgreṇālikhantī dharitrīṁ vidhṛta-vadana-padmā tatra siṣveda padmā ||108||
English translation
Fresh editorial translation from the Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi-mūla-mātram authority
Those born from different causes: Hearing that fresh passion for Rādhikā was growing within Mādhava and understanding Lalitā's contemptuous words, Padmā held down her lotus face, traced the earth with the restless tip of her foot, and perspired. Here anxiety and intolerance are joined.
13.109
Sourceअत्र चिन्तामर्षयोः । अथ शावल्यम्, यथा विदग्ध-माधवे (५.७)- धन्यास् ता हरिणी-दृशः स रमते याभिर् नवीनो युवा स्वैरꣳ चापलम् आकलय्य लल्ता माꣳ हन्त निन्दिष्यति । गोविन्दꣳ परिरब्धुम् इन्दु-वदनꣳ हा चित्तम् उत्कण्ठते धिग् वामꣳ विधिम् अस्तु येन गरलꣳ मानाभिधꣳ निर्ममे ॥१०९॥

Now mixture, as in Vidagdha-mādhava 5.7: Fortunate are those doe-eyed girls with whom that fresh young man enjoys. Alas, seeing my unrestrained conduct, Lalitā will condemn me. My heart longs to embrace moon-faced Govinda. Shame upon contrary fate, which created the poison called jealous anger! Here fickleness, apprehension, eagerness, and intolerance are mixed.

Now pacification: The lofty and powerful tree called jealous anger, wrapped around the bank of lotus-eyed Rādhā's heart, could not be cut by the expert axes of her friends' reasoning, nor moved for a long time by the waterfall of a messenger's speech. Yet is it not swiftly uprooted by the slightest breeze of the flute's sound?
