ìOvercome by affection and modesty I too never opened my lips before him.
And my eyes, that have been thirsting through love for his sight, have not been sated
to this day.î (260)

But Fate could not bear to see me treated with fondness. In the disguise of my vile
mother God created a cleft between us. It does not behove me today to say even this;
for who has come to be recognized as good and innocent on the basis of his own
estimation ? To entertain the thought that my mother is wicked while I am virtuous and
upright is itself tantamount to a million evil practices. Can an ear of the Kodo* plant yield
good rice and can a dark bivalve shell produce a pearl ? Not a tinge of blame attaches
to anyone even in a dream. My ill-luck is unfathomable like the ocean. In vain did I
torment my mother by taunting her without estimating the consequences of my own sins.
I have mentally surveyed all possible avenues but feel frustrated. There is only one hope
of my salvation: Your Holiness is my preceptor while S∂tå and Råma are my masters.
From this I presume that all will be well in the end. (1ó4)

* The Kodo (Sa≈skæta Kodrava) is a kind of corn grown in the eastern parts of U.P. It bears a small
grain of inferior quality, eaten only by the poor.
