Ananyamanas (अनन्यमनस्) refers to the “devotion” (of husband and wife), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, “[...] Wise men speak of that wife as a wife who has auspicious marks and who knows the fine arts, who is clever, who is loved by her husband, and who is young and modest. [...] The love which a devoted (ananyamanas) husband and wife bear to cach other is known to themselves alone and cannot be expressed to others. Love is in reality physical touching. [...]”.
