"A richer kingdom than this Vijiapore
I own, and why should I now madly stake
My life in this hard feat; 'tis easier far
To gain this Chandra and her father's throne.
I will sit hidden in the thickest bush,
Near yonder stream, by which the pathway runs—
For Timmaraj is sure to pass that way—
And with this arrow I will end his life.
Thereafter Chandra's love for him will fade
And die, and who is there to marry her
