Kamanita's physical wounds and emotional torment illustrate the suffering inherent in attachment to love and worldly desires.
Kamanita endures captivity, fear, and the loss of his talisman, yet remains detached through his love for Vasitthi.
Kamanita's fear of being sawn asunder and the emotional shock of seeing Vasitthi as another's bride.
Kamanita's profound grief over Vasitthi and his subsequent withdrawal from worldly affairs reflect the theme of suffering leading to detachment.
