The line

By covering the nose, by contracting the body, by things that disturb, and by agitation of the heart, one should point out disgust.

नाक छोप्नु, शरीर खुम्च्याउनु, विचलित पार्ने कुरा र हृदयको आन्दोलनबाट घृणा देखाउनुपर्छ।

The stable state jugupsā (जुगुप्सा). The prose says it belongs to women and the low, and arises from an unpleasant sight or hearing. The acting is contraction of the whole body, spitting, a contracted face, and a trembling heart.
