bed-stead ; 2. the Khatvānga held by the Kāpālikas). Due to separation from you, O Kāpālika (the skulls wearing ascetic), I am made a Kāpālikai/l.86.
My garment has slipped. The body has become rough. The locks are in disarray. The face has become lustreless. The goit has become halting and reversed. My saffron-like and golden lustre is covered with blackness. The young girl has become a demoness due to separation from you, O damon.// 87.
O traveller, you are worried and in a hurry because of your mission. So I cannot write a letter. So showing concern for me you please tell a Dohā and a Gāthā to my darling.//88
O darling, most probably the fire of separation has its origin in the marine fire, for even when sprinkled by profuse tears it suddenly flares up again // 89
The broad-eyed girl would have withered due to deep and hot sighs if her eyes would not have sprinkled her with profuse tears. // 90
The traveller said, O moon-faced deer-eyed girl, you now turn back; or tell me whatever else is to be told'. I will certainly tell. Why should I not ? But what is the purpose of telling him, who, with no love and affection for me reduced me to such a condition?//91
He has thrown me in the pit of separation in this manner; the ungrateful, who due to greed of money has left me alone. But my message is lengthy and you are in a hurry. So at least tell to my darling this Gāthā, Vastu and Domilaka. // 92.
