away with the Yaks'a Sailaka, over the Lavana-sea ?os Then that R. guaged the mind of Jinaraks'ita by means of Avadhi-knowledge, and said as follows:-"I was never loved by Jinnpālita. And I also never loved him! I was always an object of love for Jinaraks'ita, and I too always loved him! If, therefore, Jinapālita leaves me weeping, crying, mourning, lamenting, and bewailing, and heeds me not, why do you also, O Jinaraks'ita, pay no heed to me, who am weeping......etc. ?"

O you who are a repository of merits, I am not able to live even for a moment without you ! Pray come back. If you are are angry with me, please forgive this one fault of mine!

I have a great longing to have a look at your face, which has the beauty of the full-orbed moon, pure on account of the absence of clouds, and which has a pair of (charming and lovely) eyes like a cluster of fresh petats of fresh lotuses in the autumnal season; I have.
