(6) kim kiṁ de padibāsai sahihi ia pucchiai muddhāe / padhamuggaadobaliņia ņavara daiam gaā dițtbi // (1-15)
"What are the objects of thy longing now?" Friends asked the young woman in her first pregnancy. The blushing innocent one did'nt open her lips or ponder; But just cast a loving look at her husband there!
aliapa suttaa viņimiliaccha de suhaa majjha oāsam / gāṁdaparicumvaņāpula iamga ņa puņo ciraissaṁ // (I-20)
By feigning asleep tire not thy eyes in vain; Make me room a little to be by thy side ! Ah ! Here are prickles on thy cheek so lightly kissed ! By my heart, darling, I will not tarry again.
(8) kallam kira kharabiao pavasibai pio tti suvvai jaṇammi / taha vaddha bhaavai ņise jaha se kallam cia ņa hoi // (1-46)
'My husband is to travel away tomorrow Is the news outside afloat ! Ah ! He's stone-bearted ! O revered Night, I pray, lengthen thyself To the extent that morrow does't turn up for him.
(9)
vajjavadaņāirikkam paino souņa simjinighosam / pusiai karimarle sarivamdiņam pi acchiim //
(1-54)
Hearing the bow-string twang excelling the thunderbolt, The captive woman marked it as her husband's own ! Puffed up with joy at the close of calamity, She wiped away tears of her co-captives too !
(10) dakthiņņeņa vi erto suhaa suhāvesi amba hiaxim / nikkaiaveņa jāņam gao si kā ņivvui tâņam ll (I-85)
