While comfortless I wake and weep!

O, if my wife may yet be found,

With humble love I'll wander round

This Janasthán, Praśravaṇ's hill,

Mandákiní's delightful rill.

See how the deer with gentle eyes

Look on my face and sympathize.

I mark their soft expression: each

Would soothe me, if it could, with speech.”

A while the anxious throng he eyed.
