Already at her wedding Paravati’s friends knew she would be happy When Siva tossed aside The snake bracelet that frightened her.

Give as much affection As you can muster. For not everyone can bear to suffer The withdrawal of kindness.

"जेत्तिअमेत्तं तीरइ णिव्वोढुं देसु तेत्तिअं पणअं,ण जणो विणिअत्तपसाअदुक्खसहणक्खमो सव्वो"

How can a woman Who for five whole days Has been the lover of such an attractive man Ask for one day more? One cannot feast on dainties.

"वहुवल्लहस्स जा होइ वल्लहा कह वि पंच दिअहाइं,सा किं छट्ठं मग्गइ कत्तो मिट्ठं च वहुअं च"

Whatever part of my body he stares at I cover. At the same time I want him to see it.

"जं जं सो णिज्झाअइ अंगोआसं महं अणिमिसच्छो,पच्छाएमि अ तं तं इच्छामि अ तेण दीसंतं"

See how the woman’s indignation at her husband Escapes with a soft sigh Like sand from a clenched fist.

"दढमण्णुदूमिआइ वि गहिओ दइअम्मि पेछह इमीए,ओसरइ वालुआमुट्ठिओ व्व माणो सुरसुरंतो"

Look! A flock of parrots falling from the sky Like a necklace of rubies and emeralds Slipping from the throat of Sri in heaven.

"उअ पोम्मराअमरगअसंवलिआ णहअलाउ ओअरइ,णहसिरिकंठब्भट्ठ व्व कंठिआ कीररिंछोली"

More than his absence abroad Or my wretchedness here at home What pains me is my husband returning Without quite reaching his goal.

"Love vanishes Through not seeing enough of one another, Through seeing too much of one another, Through spiteful gossip, And sometimes just like that."

"While he was blowing on the hand That still stung from the slap I gave him, I could not help laughing And put my other hand around his neck."

"एक्कं पहरुग्घाअं हत्थं मुहमारुएण वीअंतो,सो वि हसंतीअ मए गहिओ वीएण कंठम्मि"

"Proud lady, When he approached you You relentlessly turned away, But the gooseflesh on your back Shows that in your heart You are prepared to face him again."
