Both king and minister of state. Meanwhile

Fair Chandra and her noble Timmaraj

Longed for the consummation of their love.

A flower there is, the fairest flower in Ind,

A flower beloved by poets of all time,

Whose beauties lovers ever love to tell,

And liken oft to woman's thousand charms.

This flower, the stately lotus of our Ind,

Its petals closes to the moon at eve,

And all its beauties hides through silent night,
