Au kabla rahe Rám P Radha Rânt lar parin Ram. Rådbê ne lipi hai pich picha, au Rukmini kâ rapta hai pâon, Lapat laptt we gain Râm sagar ke darbâr. Kahan rahe Krishna moubin 1 Kab, milain Râm? Are ji, kon bahuon ko nyawa ohukAwÅ ?
Translation In half the Ganges, barley is sown and in half is grown green bamboo. What made Râm sow barley? And what made him to sow bamboos ?
For performing religious duties Râm sowed the barley, and for drying loin-cloths he sowed the bamboos.
Where is Krishnna ? and where is Râm ! Queen Rødbî has fallen out with Ram. Rådhå plastered the ground with mud and on it the feet of Rukmini havo slipped. Quarrelling together they went into the court of R&m's father. Whither are Krishnna and Râm gone? When shall wo meet Ram ? Who will decide the dispute between the wivos ?
