From the ideal of Padmani to the idea of Hastani, there is seen to be increasing force in the power of expressing emotion, but also a lessening of the capability of holding any lasting attachment. In Chitram there is perhaps an equal balance between depth of feeling and beauty in expression of feeling; while in Padmani there is an absorption in the ideal which means selflessness. And this is actually more fruitful in producing the beauty that gives solace and calm and the glow of happiness, than anything else in life.
