47 homtapahiassa jââ âucchanajsadharanarahassam
pucchamtî bhamas gharam ghareņa piavirahasahirîo. (S: bhavisyadvirahins-vrajyâ; T: viraha-paddhati). The wife of the prospective traveller goes from door to door asking those who can stand the seperation of their loved ones for the secret to stay alive after the farewell.
48 annamahilâpa samgam de devva karesu amha dasassa
purisâ ekkamtarasâ na hu dosagune viânamti. (S: guna-vrajyâ; T: anurâa-paddhati) He, Fate ! let my lover have contact with other women; men who concentrate their love on one cannot distinguish between fault and quality. ..

suhaücchaa suhaa suamdhagamdha mâ gamdhirim chivasu. (S: mânini-vrajyâ; T: khamdiâ-paddhati). Whether my fever is slight or not, what concern is it to others. You who ask after my welfare, happy one, you who smell nicely, do not touch me who stink.
