   When one of the two lovers is grateful, and the other liberal, some Sages say that the liberal one should be preferred, but Vatsyayana is of opinion that the former should be chosen, because liberal men are generally haughty, plain spoken, and wanting in consideration towards others.

Each of these stands at a single passage, named once and not held by the library. The work that names it carries the anchor.
