Is it up to your dignity, please
consider, the friend-maid appeals her lady’s lover.
If you leave her here while you are earning
wealth in a distant place the complexion of her face will become dull; her shoulder
will lose its shape; she will not be in her sense day and night; tears will
fall from her eyes as the flower drops water in rain. You must consider these
points. Without considering, leaning her alone, is it decency to your
greatness? Sir, please rethink your decision.
You have to pass through the way where
the elephant which kills the attacking tiger; ferocious in its mood flowing
lust-gland in its body even to kill the man passing-by; the bear digs the ant-hill
to eat the ant-hive; the male-dove calls its female living permanently in the old
temple from which the Deity migrated; and the route with huge rocks. Is it your
wise decision?
