Sasui is (distressed) but not angry. She is so famished that she is not in a mood to laugh or smile. She is undressed for the marital rites but the miserable woman has simply forgotten them. (She is much too distressed to know or think of pleasure. This means that Sasui is forbearing in distress, patient in hunger and self-abnegatious in pleasures.)

The miserable cannot afford anger, and the hungry cannot laugh,
Mates, the poor naked woman forget her wedding.
