TRANSLATION
“That very personality who stole away my heart during my youth is now
again my master. These are the same moonlit nights of the month of
Caitra. The same fragrance of milati flowers is there, and the same sweet
breezes are blowing from the kadamba forest. In our intimate relation-
ship, | am also the same lover, yet still my mind is not happy here. | am
eager to go back to that place on the bank of the Reva under the Vetasi
tree. That is my desire.”
