यदहं रूपसंपन्नो वयसा च समन्वितः । कृतो भवद्भ्यां वृद्धः सन्भार्यां च प्राप्तवान्निजाम् । तद्ब्रूतं वै विधास्यामि भवतोर्यदभीप्सितम्
yadahaṃ rūpasaṃpanno vayasā ca samanvitaḥ | kṛto bhavadbhyāṃ vṛddhaḥ sanbhāryāṃ ca prāptavānnijām | tadbrūtaṃ vai vidhāsyāmi bhavatoryadabhīpsitam
তোমালোকৰ দ্বাৰাই মই ৰূপ-সম্পন্ন আৰু যৌৱনে সমন্বিত হ’লোঁ; আগতে বৃদ্ধ হৈও মই নিজৰ ভাৰ্য্যাক লাভ কৰিলোঁ। সেয়ে কোৱা, তোমালোক দুয়োৰে যি ইচ্ছা, মই নিশ্চয়েই তাক সম্পন্ন কৰিম।
