35 diarassa asuddhamaṇassa kulavahû niaakuḍdalihiâi
diaham kahei Râmânulagga Somitticariâim.
(S: satî-vrajyâ; T: kulavahû-paddhati)
To her brother-in-law who has unpure thoughts, the noble wife tells during daytime of the acts of Saumitri who was attached to Rama, which are drawn on her own walls.
36 cattaragharinî piadamsanâ a tarunî pautthavaiâ a
asaf saajjiâ duggaâ a na hu khamḍiam silam.
(S: satf-vrajyâ; T: adaanâ-paddhati)
A houesewife of beautiful appearance, young, her husband abroad, a wicked neighbour-woman at hand, and above all poor, how can it be that her virtue will not be broken?
37 tâlûrabhamâulakhudi akesaro girinafa pûrena
daravuḍdavuddanivvuddamahuaro hîraf kalamvo.
(S: madhukara-vrajyâ; not in T)
The kalamba-tree is dragged away by the stream of the mountain-river, its foliage is scattered by the rashness of the whirls, but the bee sticks to it and with it goes under, a little, deep and comes up again.
38 ahiâimânino duggaassa châim païssa rakkhamtî
niavamdhavâna jûraf gharinî vihavena emtâṇam.
(S: mânini-vrajyâ; T: kulavahû-paddhati)
Taking the side of her husband who is poor and has false notions about what is noble, the wife scolds at her own relatives who come with riches.
39 sâhîne vi piaame patte vi chane na mamdio appâ
duggaapautthavaïam saajjiam samthavamtîe.
(S: asati-vrajyâ; not in T)
Though her dearest lover is at hand, and the day of the festival has come she does not decorate herself lest her neighbour-woman who is poor and whose husband is abroad, gets exited.
40 tujjha vasai tti hiaam imehi diṭṭho tumam ti acchfim
tuha virahe kisiâi ti tie amgâi vi piâim.
(S: dûtf-vrajyâ; T: dûivaana-paddhati)
Her heart in which you live, her eyes with which she sees you, her body which has become meagre in your absence, are dear (to you).
