- મેં મારા પ્રેમીઓ બોલાવ્યા, પણ તેઓએ મારો વિશ્વાસઘાત કર્યો. મારા યાજકો તથા મારા વડીલો પોતાના જીવ બચાવવા માટે અન્નને માટે વલખાં મારતા હતા, એટલામાં તેઓ નગરમાં મરણ પામ્યા.

- मैंने अपने मित्रों को पुकारा परन्तु उन्होंने भी मुझे धोखा दिया; जब मेरे याजक और पुरनिये इसलिए भोजनवस्तु ढूँढ़ रहे थे कि खाने से उनका जी हरा हो जाए, तब नगर ही में उनके प्राण छूट गए।
