By bathing in her he plucks the fruit of holiness.
When boats are caught in her flood, the people pray: ‘We are sinners, O Rewa, bring us safely to the bank!’
When the Nerbudda is in flood, Mandla is an island and the people think their end has come:
The rain pours down on all sides, earth and sky become dark as smoke, and men call on Rāma.
The bard says: ‘Let it rain as it may, some one will save us as Krishna saved the people of Brindāwan!’
This is a description of a beautiful woman:
A beautiful woman is loved by her neighbours,
But she will let none come to her and answers them not.
They say: ‘Since God has made you so beautiful, open your litter and let yourself be seen!’
He who sees her is struck as by lightning, she shoots her lover with the darts of her eyes, invisible herself.
