.Hindus go to the pyre, my son, I tell thee.
Go to Rattan Haji* and learn the (Musalman's) Creed.
When thou hast done this I will take thee to myself.
Siriyal, Raja Sanj&'s child, will curse me !"

How can I tell them thee Hear, Mother Earth !
Hear, Mother Earth, why dost always put me off
(She said), 'The curse of Guru Gorakhnath be upon thee
if thou return !
As I mourn for these twins so mayest thou know
sorrow V

My son, go now and worship : make no delays.
