In the meantime, there arrived the peasant who was looking like an ugly bear.(5)

‘A Raja-like person was manifested
When a chaste woman meditated with devotion.(9)
‘If that person walked over putting his feet on your head and saying nothing,
‘Then you could live long and save my nuptial tie.(10)
‘Now with your permission I meditate because with your demise I
Will immolate myself and along with your life (hereafter) I will enjoy the serenity.’(11)
Then the woman mediated and beseeched, ‘If I am chaste and virtuous,
A personality should manifest and walk over putting one foot on the head of my husband.’(l2)

She stressed him to come forward, get treated immediately,
And briskly leave for his home after becoming disease free.(5)
