Translation. Abode of Compassion, Friend of the Poor, that hath caused tbe want of rain, Indra, the lord of the people, hath been so careless. Wells, tanks, streams are dry, and leaves and branches have dried up. Not a drop falls, though the dark clouds bend low. Brother of the Poor, Creator ; why hast thou taken thy mercy from the world? Pawning-pans, joge, kettles, dishes and cups we have lived. Bracelets, necklaces, nose-rings, ear-rings we have sold to live. With agitated faces the people of God (Ram) are wandering abont. Rám Chandra (God) protect the earth in some way or other.
