A Formal Type of Arrangement
sabbhâvanehabharie ratte rajjijjai tti juttam inam
anahiae una hiaam jam dijjaf tam jano hasaf.
(S: upâlambha-vrajyâ; not in T)
It is right that one bears love towards somebody who is capable of love himself and has a heart by nature full of love, but the people will laugh at her who gives her heart to someone who has no heart.
ârambhamtassa dhuam lacchi maranam va hoi purisassa tam maranam anârambhe vi hoi lacchi una na hoi.
(S: sâhasa-vrajyâ; T: suhâsia-paddhati)
To that man who undertakes things, riches or death are sure to come. To him who undertakes nothing death is sure, but riches are not.
43 virahâṇalo sahijjai âsâvamdheņa vallahajanassa
ekkaggâmapavâso mâe maranam visesei.
(S: virahinî-vrajyâ; T: panaakalaha-paddhati)
The fire of seperation I can stand by the bond of hope, but, mother, when my lover is out of reach, though in the same village, that is even worse than death.

44 akkhaḍai piâ hiae annam mahilâaṇam ramamtassa
ditthe sarisammi gune sarisammi gune afsamte.
(S: jâti-vrajyâ; not in T)
His dear girl will return in his heart while he enjoys himself with other women whether he sees or does not see equal qualitites.
45 naipûrasacchahe jovvaṇammi afpavasiesu diahesu
aniattâsu a râîsu putti kim daddhamânena.
(S: sânti-vrajyâ; T: panaakalaha-paddhati).
Youth is like the stream of a river, days pass, nights will not return, what then, daughter, is the use of this cursed pride?
kallam kira kharaniao pavasihai pio tti suvvaf jaņammi taha vaddha bhaavaf ņise jaha se kallam cia na hoi.
(S: bhavisyadvirahinî-vrajyâ; T: suraa-paddhati)
The people know that my dear one will go away tomorrow-morning, cold-heartedly, therefore grow long o! venerable night, so that tomorrow-morning will not come.
