Definition

From Middle English permuten, from Old French permuter, from Latin permūtāre.

There is a reference to this work in Burton's Vikram and the Vampire, where we read: [405] "As regards the neutral state, that poet was not happy in his ideas who sang, 'Whene'er indifference appears, or scorn, Then, man, despair! then, hapless lover, mourn!' for a man versed in the Lila Shastra can soon turn a woman's indifference into hate, which I have shown is as easily permuted to love." — The Life of Sir Richard Burton, Thomas Wright
