The friend-maid requests the hero, the
Man of her lady, not to come in night-time on behalf her lady. She says:
Male elephant, that has killed tiger making
its family proud of, sighs in pain in wound that received in fight as a bellow
in blacksmith’s furnace. The fire sparks in furnace will fly as fire-flies in
night. The water spills in the sighing of the elephant fall on bushes. He, the
hero is the Man of such kind of rocks.
You, the Man of the
mountain track are coming during night-time having your spear alone with you as
your company. It is a dreadful night with thundering. The thunder will kill the
cobra on its head-spread. I am worrying on your safety. Please avoid coming in
dangerous night.
