She eloped
with a man. Her mother asks an omen-teller whether the lover of her daughter will
go first to his parent’s house or come first to her house.
He is a man having spear in hand. She is
little girl with vast breast. Both are eloped. Somebody inform me his mother is
preparing house to receive them; white-washing the wall and decorating garlands
at the entrance. I am the mother of the girl. What would be his thought whether
entering first into his parents’ house or into my house? Let him not consider my
relation; but at least consider my service to her combing, braiding, dressing
etc; for entering first. You, omen teller! (Velan) Use your instruments of
rolling marbles and witch-stick to find out future.
