Accepting excellent and beautiful nail marks from 碍峁涐梗峁嘺, generous 搁腻诲丑腻 gave Him a ravishing garland of gems (rucira-尘补峁噄-尘腻濒腻) (or a cute bite mark). 碍峁涐梗峁嘺, however, drank the nectar of Her nether lip and gave Her bite marks. Catching a glimpse of that, the 蝉补办丑墨蝉 gave their bodies to Them. (Govinda-濒墨濒腻尘峁泃补 11.139)

In this verse, 搁腻诲丑腻 gave something equal to what She took, 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 gave something less than what He took, [and the 蝉补办丑墨蝉 gave something greater than what they took].
Commentary:
This is Mamma峁璦鈥檚 example:

dadaty 膩dhi-vy膩dhi-bhrami-rudita-moha-vyatikaram ||鈥淚mparting delightful dancing motions to these flowering creepers, the wind carried away most of their incredible fragrance. The creepers, however, took the travelers鈥� eyes and immediately gave them mental pain, bodily discomfort, reeling movements, lamentation, and torpor鈥� (碍腻惫测补-辫谤补办腻艣补 verse 498).
Creepers symbolize women. Further, Rudra峁璦 illustrates 辫补谤颈惫峁泃迟颈,
