Said Narayan, " Listen, Friend Dhanna
;
40 You have done me service.
(So) I will drive your Persian-wheel, I will dig your
field,
Thus will I work
I will graze your cows, I will work carefully,
I know all the art.
45 As you have .given yourself, body and soul, to me,
Your service shall be fruitful."

Saith Dhanna, '' Listen, Friend Brahman
The God is grazing the cows :
He watches over all the house and work,

Your God is just as he was;
Mine, Friend, is well-liking :
My God eats his fill ;
You are starving your God to death."
