I threaded a garland
of ca'mpa' and bakul flowers
to place around Your neck.
My mind too, I tied to it.

My sister in law had created obstacles
and did not let me pluck these flowers.
I nevertheless went into my garden
and picked them.

It was raining heavily
and the river became flooded.
I carried on walking
and became drenched.

By selling raw mahul,
I purchased Your image.
