"May, the Conqueror, wash away all dirt () of sinful deeds,-the Conqueror, whose pair of feet are decked by मन्दार flowers dropped down ( विगलित ) from heads of gods bent (before him) in haste and reverence." This verse illustrates all the characteristics of the dialect, namely, the ch;6nge of र, स, त, ज, and द्य to ल, स, द, य, घ्यः and Nom. sing. in .
