the war.
Your wife is waiting for you in the
village. Female-deer that eats brown millet plant 'Varahu' in the field. Then it will
live together with its male-mate. That is the place where the village is situated.
The plant is cultivated in old field in hill-field. The seeding farmer cuts the
wild trees and bushes in an area of the mountain slope. Then fire them to
prepare the land. This kind of field is called Mutai. Deer eats the plants in
this field.
You are informing me it is dark. Don’t

your horse. You have to cross the river the bank of it is falling into the
flood. You are longing for hugging the shoulders and sleeping on the hair of
your wife. Start immediately.
