The hero goes on earning again says to
his mind.
You, my mind, are it necessary to
leave her again? If so think these words. Have you realize the dream after wake
up on daytime? The day also pasts; and the next day comes. The young-hood also
passes and old-age comes. Lust is pleasure and important. It is chance cannot
get again. It is not clear to you. You are thinking to go in hot sun through
the forest where male deer roams searching for water to drink with its female;
eating no leaves; having no shadow to rest. Are you sure to go again in such
forest? Guests are waiting in shed of the house. She, my wife is entertaining them.
She has braided Pandanus odoratissimus
Flower in her hair and garland on her
breast. She speaks few words of sweet in her smile. Have you considered her
behavior?
