                                                                    I was not knowing anything.by virtue of  sin done in past lives,for this body was having  patience to experience  boundless difficulties,attatching to people  continuously  excessively with cruelty  troubling manmatha’s  bent(curved) nature,,by my bad luck ,what shall I say ! hey, king then my prana (life)stood without going   finally in body.i am stone hearted(chested)  awaking after long time of unconsciousness  later this long    grief specially burning a ground like burning coal,I saw  myself very much  shaking.like that I without  dieing ,he dieing ,crying due to sorrow ,without comsciousness on body “ayyo!without kindness upon me  who is  orphan ,with fixed mind in you  only,desiring  curiously  for you only,sorrowful,being troubled by manmatha (lust god),having no other direction(fate), me who is girl  can you go  leaving alone?lord! tharalike  herself  is  witness  ask her.to me who is  baked by your  separation,today’s day is appearing  like crores of epochs.upon me who is your feet servent(charanadasi)why this much of anger?kind to devotee people (bhaktha vathsala),why you became kindless!you open your eyes  once fulfilling   my desire fate .be kind upon me..o kailasa mountain protect me.

by  Upper cover(upper cloth) border slowly  blowd air.faning like that awakening from  unconsciousness “mother,sinful I by questioning you  produced  such big  sorrowful state.therefore  this story is enough.stop.to me also  very difficult to hear..by remembering  only ,unbearable to mind ,close people ,sorrowful mass ,if heard by ears,will it not produce  more sorrow?apart from that,regarding her told like this.”some how with much difficulty till now,tightly held pranas ,now don’t make fuel to old memory fire”he requested.then he was tearing with sorrow.chandrapeeda  telling like this  sighing,responding freely flowing tears again she told”king,what is this you are telling shyful words?in last black deep dark night,not going my pranas  will they go now?yama killing all ,me who is in difficult condition and stone hearted,even to lift  eye and see also hesitates.(feels bad).when it is like this you only tell  how can death come to me?and to talk with first shyness  like meis there any other difficulty?what shall I say! Like that thunderbolt hit  pitiful pundarika’s after death to tell.and ask  anybody impossible  wonderful   one   instance (incident) happened.now I will tell you ,apart from that coming  above and above difficulties ,fundamental ,useless,ingrateful,unfit to  save this my bodythere is one reason.i will talk in this bad  condition seing face of  pan bag holder(sanchi holder) who was crying  continuously”tharalike,without leaving how much you will cry?gather together woods. Prepare for dead body (cadaver,chithe)burning. Why delay?this moment only  I must go  with my praneshwara(lord of prana).while telling like this  suddenly a man descended  from moon system(mandala) ,through sky path.how it was  is ,being  decorated by wabling ,very much garland  with broad chest  being caught by being caught by armlets(tholubandi ,arm bracelets) wearing white dhothi  shaking due to air,by embrace of lasses ,being  leaf letters  except  drawn in breasts,having shoulder region  marked  by ,due to ear  stars(kadaku) hanging in both ears  brightness of rathna  having red cheek,like group of bees  black in curved(bent) hairs ropes, with beautiful  head wearing blossomed  white lotus in ear.

Wearing turban  made of silk cloth,having clean body  like white lotus,having height ,shape charecterised by charecters of  great  persons,a divine shaped great man ,clean body brightness enlighting all directions ,godman   added with more  fragrance spreading  very much,stretched forward his two arms  resembling  asked him.then she was also like  me.like lotus stem(dantu) lifting  dead pundarika  in front of me only.lifting him rised to sky.telling daughter,mahashvetha , don’t  spoil mind  don’t think of  death.again you will join him telling like this rised to sky.”like that at that time  to me very much fear,wonder,curiosity were produced. Fearing very much  I asked kapinjala  what is this  he without answering  me,with upfaced “where are you carrying my friend suddenly without telling  and asking,liftingwhere? Stop?followd that  man and he also went to sky rising.as on seing  all these people  entered middle of  moon system.my sorrpw doubled  as kapinjala  also went  without knowing what to  do”.”tharalika what is this tell.did you  understand  I  asked her.then she was also like me..she was also  under control of   fear(paravasha) .apart from that  she had also doubt  that I may also  leave prana. There she added with kindness “mother, I don’t know  anything .but that great person(mahapurusha) has come like father showing kindness(vaatsalya,affection) has solved your  sorrow. Such people even if  they appear in dreamalso,it will not become false.When it is like this, that divine person  has appeared in front  directly ,he told ,so no place for doubt.nothing more to that.making  your beloved’s(prana kantha) life again to return ,bringing life with purpose  of  sending him back,then divine   has consoled you.therefore without telling it is not true , should leave trial of death.than these consoling words  what  more is needed?if kapinjala is    living  he will surely return to you. Therefore  you should some how  protect your  life till he comes near    you; is any way! Saying like this  she fell on my leg, hey king,though inspite of thinking  it might be  like lotus,above that as it is  not possible by anybody  to leave desire of  eyes  ,from desire bondage,that he may return,as natural  charecters of women  is curved attracting, like this to bad desire(over desire). I have been sinner without being  able to leave ‘prana’.later on the back of  that lake  rolling continuously,spreading, depressed hair’s 

cheeks wet by tears sticked covering cloth ,tone  breaking  due to cry,becoming rough(gaaru)weeping continuously  with tharalike,that fearful sin  night becoming equal  to total destruction(pralaya) night,excessive sorrow becoming  thousands of epochs long,and becoming morning ,weeping me tharalika by support of her body,holding,lifting upright, slowly getting down to bank(dada)  making me to bathe,I did(took)  bath.after taking  bath like that,by extreme love  upon him,wearing his silk cloth,taking his japasara(rosary)  only holding his kamandala (holy vessel) only wearing his  dress only I started brahmacharya.(celibacy).

holding vratha (deeksha,oath) like that my lack of  luck,hardness of god,extra sorrows,unbearable mental pain, thinking about temporariness of things  of

 World,without allowing mind towards bad thoughts, controling senses keeping away relations and parents ,deciding what is to be  done by tying to whom,I orphan depended (surrendered) on parameshwara who is  lord of all worlds. My parents  coming along with relatives crying, with  purpose of carrying back to  home,spoke many words of consolation.  Requesting like this,”ayyo,she will not come!” my father became very worryful.staying for few days  again with difficulty at end  returned home.after going like that,by chanting(japa),by penance I am exploiting  my body,that is,  just only  gratitude shown to my  died friend.

Che!che! no chanting,no penance,hey king ,in name of chanting  I and counting mass of his charecters,,that is all! Hey  moon like king,one who is fit for ill fame,without any good signs,amangala(non-good) form,born as waste, kindless,loveless,joyless,,fit for blaming,living  as waste(vain),cruel,being goaled by  great sin of killing Brahman(brahmahathya),ungrateful(ghaathaki), on hearing about me what is  the use?tell!(telling like this  beautiful moon,being crossed by  white layer of cloud of  sharath season,she was  covering her face by white silk cloth(naaru madi),was crying continuously. After consoling her,with difficulty who was crying ,  chandrapeeda has respect towards her due to  her good charecters.now as she had all her news,completely from beginning to end,with good will,he having attracted mind told like this”worshipable,in world pouring some tears showing friendship females,what is  speciality?you leaving boundless worldly joys and enjoyment like this,residing in forest,punishing delicate body, have yielding to this much of  severe penance,,like you who has gratitude  towards  friend(beloved)?in case if sahagamana(co-death) is due ,will the dead one get up?in order to  hide anxiety of burden of sorrow few people die together.

Such people what favour  will they do  to dead?died people according to karmas done by them,will get rebirth in different places.

By that, first died  and those die along with  will join  together means fully  absurd.apart from that ,to those who died  together  will get only self killing  defect(dosha),also.no other use.if they live without dieing with  died personby giving      offer(tharpana) excetra  great help is possible.after death of manmatha did his wife rathi died?did kunthi  die  with pandu king?and when abhimanyu died  ,did utthare  died?when syndhava died  did dushyle  died? Are all these not  known to young?.apart from that what is great matter for me to correct you?that man only has  come to console  you means what should I say about  it’s extraordinary.words of such people  sure will not become  false.therefore your behavior which is not  blamable,should not be  blamed by telling many epical  stories.by many kinds of consoling  words,some how  consoling ,and then going slowly with humbleness, bringing stream(jhari) water  chandrapeeda  ,in spite of her  not wishing ,forcefully  made her to  wash face. Hearing this mahasvetha  vritthantha  as though having got  great sorrow sun aso leaving day’s work   became downfaced(got down).later as sun system (mandala) was  getting down to western sea.universe(brahmaanda)    as though smeared bu  purple (violet,jambu) colour  like eyes of kokila.,beautifully bright  dense evening red  spread through out world.

In that evening  ,later washing legs with water of  kamandala (holy vessel) after finishing  rituals of evening   time, sat in  ash bed(bhasmashayye) with long sigh.those  who have undertaken  paashupatha vratha (oath)sleep on bed arranged by vibhuthi(holy ash).to that bhasmashayye  is name. on this side chandrapeeda  performing  sandhyavandana(evening rituals) making himself bed of  creeper,bed and sat.there thinking in mind only  various  peculiar mischieves of manmatha ,with wonderful  mindtold like this.”your attender(servent) tharalika where she has gone? Where is she?.as chandrapeeda  asked.mahashvetha started to tell .how it means.

Therefore  you should some how  protect your  life till he comes near    you; is any way! Saying like this  she fell on my leg, hey king,though inspite of thinking  it might be  like lotus,above that as it is  not possible by anybody  to leave desire of  eyes  ,from desire bondage,that he may return,as natural  charecters of women  is curved attracting, like this to bad desire(over desire). I have been sinner without being  able to leave ‘prana’.later on the back of  that lake  rolling continuously,spreading, depressed hair’s 

cheeks wet by tears sticked covering cloth ,tone  breaking  due to cry,becoming rough(gaaru)weeping continuously  with tharalike,that fearful sin  night becoming equal  to total destruction(pralaya) night,excessive sorrow becoming  thousands of epochs long,and becoming morning ,weeping me tharalika by support of her body,holding,lifting upright, slowly getting down to bank(dada)  making me to bathe,I did(took)  bath.after taking  bath like that,by extreme love  upon him,wearing his silk cloth,taking his japasara(rosary)  only holding his kamandala (holy vessel) only wearing his  dress only I started brahmacharya.(celibacy).

holding vratha (deeksha,oath) like that my lack of  luck,hardness of god,extra sorrows,unbearable mental pain, thinking about temporariness of things  of

 World,without allowing mind towards bad thoughts, controling senses keeping away relations and parents ,deciding what is to be  done by tying to whom,I orphan depended (surrendered) on parameshwara who is  lord of all worlds. My parents  coming along with relatives crying, with  purpose of carrying back to  home,spoke many words of consolation.  Requesting like this,”ayyo,she will not come!” my father became very worryful.staying for few days  again with difficulty at end  returned home.after going like that,by chanting(japa),by penance I am exploiting  my body,that is,  just only  gratitude shown to my  died friend.

Che!che! no chanting,no penance,hey king ,in name of chanting  I and counting mass of his charecters,,that is all! Hey  moon like king,one who is fit for ill fame,without any good signs,amangala(non-good) form,born as waste, kindless,loveless,joyless,,fit for blaming,living  as waste(vain),cruel,being goaled by  great sin of killing Brahman(brahmahathya),ungrateful(ghaathaki), on hearing about me what is  the use?tell!(telling like this  beautiful moon,being crossed by  white layer of cloud of  sharath season,she was  covering her face by white silk cloth(naaru madi),was crying continuously. After consoling her,with difficulty who was crying ,  chandrapeeda has respect towards her due to  her good charecters.now as she had all her news,completely from beginning to end,with good will,he having attracted mind told like this”worshipable,in world pouring some tears showing friendship females,what is  speciality?you leaving boundless worldly joys and enjoyment like this,residing in forest,punishing delicate body, have yielding to this much of  severe penance,,like you who has gratitude  towards  friend(beloved)?in case if sahagamana(co-death) is due ,will the dead one get up?in order to  hide anxiety of burden of sorrow few people die together.

Such people what favour  will they do  to dead?died people according to karmas done by them,will get rebirth in different places.

By that, first died  and those die along with  will join  together means fully  absurd.apart from that ,to those who died  together  will get only self killing  defect(dosha),also.no other use.if they live without dieing with  died personby giving      offer(tharpana) excetra  great help is possible.after death of manmatha did his wife rathi died?did kunthi  die  with pandu king?and when abhimanyu died  ,did utthare  died?when syndhava died  did dushyle  died? Are all these not  known to young?.apart from that what is great matter for me to correct you?that man only has  come to console  you means what should I say about  it’s extraordinary.words of such people  sure will not become  false.therefore your behavior which is not  blamable,should not be  blamed by telling many epical  stories.by many kinds of consoling  words,some how  consoling ,and then going slowly with humbleness, bringing stream(jhari) water  chandrapeeda  ,in spite of her  not wishing ,forcefully  made her to  wash face. Hearing this mahasvetha  vritthantha  as though having got  great sorrow sun aso leaving day’s work   became downfaced(got down).later as sun system (mandala) was  getting down to western sea.universe(brahmaanda)    as though smeared bu  purple (violet,jambu) colour  like eyes of kokila.,beautifully bright  dense evening red  spread through out world.

In that evening  ,later washing legs with water of  kamandala (holy vessel) after finishing  rituals of evening   time, sat in  ash bed(bhasmashayye) with long sigh.those  who have undertaken  paashupatha vratha (oath)sleep on bed arranged by vibhuthi(holy ash).to that bhasmashayye  is name. on this side chandrapeeda  performing  sandhyavandana(evening rituals) making himself bed of  creeper,bed and sat.there thinking in mind only  various  peculiar mischieves of manmatha ,with wonderful  mindtold like this.”your attender(servent) tharalika where she has gone? Where is she?.as chandrapeeda  asked.mahashvetha started to tell .how it means.

As though.what is thatis ayyo burnt!baked!hey, cheater(ghathuka?),manmatha what did you do ?hey cruel pity!that manmatha what  injustice she has done to you?fearful moon,did your desire fulfilled?hey chandala !cool air!do you feel happy now?tell ayyo  shvethakethu maharshi! such sorrow you have to see?penance!now who is your  protecter in the world?religion,who will hold your hand?divine way you are spoiled!saraswathi!now you really became  widow!friend am I not aquainted?hence you have not seen me?suddenly like this can you go leaving me?you have become very hard  minded?to me who other assistant (helper)is there?where shall I go now?i have no interest on anybody.to me all directions are showing zero(useless).eye is not seen . who is  is direction (guide) to me?my life became spoiled.crying like this “friend  if you won’t speak,with whom shall I  speak?with whom you are playing?why is this false anger upon me?tell pundarika!where did your friendship go?without paining me  get up a little  and talk” hey king like kapinjala opening mouth to direction direction.on hearing  that  I lost courage ,with sorrow  became as though  my prana(life) has gone.as flood of tears was running profusely  very much ,without being able to see  path clearly.like that missing step (edavu?) jumping  my  upper cloth(meludavu?) being caught  by bush creepers,crying ayyo !ayyo ! crying like this ,somebody pushing dragging ,going method ,went to place   where he was.while going there with  there with fastness  beyond my energy  on bank of pond,secreting drops secreting water droplets ,shining in marble stone ,from group of buds  cool blossomed,flower petals bed,my friend  lying down.  

He was keeping  his hand   on chest which was baked by  lust fire.it’s nail’s brightness ,being afraid of shining  moon turning   back,passing through back piercing chest  came out mass of  moon rays  as though were appearing .as I am coming with love ,as though  he is listening to my leg sound,,by virtue of anger on manmatha  ,after little reduction of pain , by temporarily produced  loss of control(paravasha)  as though  he is sleeping happily.you have loved other person more than me .tharefore  wil  I  remain here tell.”telling like this  with anger  as though gone  from pundarika’s body  prana (life) has gone. If these pranas  are present ,they will produce  tiredness by lust disturbance..therefore    thinking  like this that  there should not be any bondage,pushing them away from body was appearing as though  he is disappearing  static trance  bliss.

                                                                    

Apart from that after  seing me ,as I had come,as though he had given lovable prana to  me as gift of love.to closer men  giving prana itself as love donation  to beloved is not wonder.and for relatives  this  cooling(satisfaction) of lust  fever,put in forehead ,smear vibhuthi  of  smeared three lines,heavy  wet lotus tube (dantu?)  thread ,janivara(sacred thread)keeping on shoulder  tender  banana leaf  covering cloth,  having long japasara(rosary,chanting dead chain)pearl  neck chain  which I had given ,by  dense  campher  dust ashes ,having whitened body, to make cool,hand tied lotus tube ,raksha kankana(protection ring?) having  dress of person doing lust vratha (kama oath) ,to get my vision  as though  practicing (achieving)  manthra.

Intoxicated  as he was  crying very much, then only died sinless  that great person(mahaanubhava) very ingrateful  ill lucked  myself found  suddenly and fell  unconsciously.then to me  as though  having embraced  cave of paathaala (deep depth) deep darkness  covered. what I became? Where did I fell?  What did I  cry till mouth  got tired?what did I do?from where did  I came.?whose daughter?

                                                                    I was not knowing anything.by virtue of  sin done in past lives,for this body was having  patience to experience  boundless difficulties,attatching to people  continuously  excessively with cruelty  troubling manmatha’s  bent(curved) nature,,by my bad luck ,what shall I say ! hey, king then my prana (life)stood without going   finally in body.i am stone hearted(chested)  awaking after long time of unconsciousness  later this long    grief specially burning a ground like burning coal,I saw  myself very much  shaking.like that I without  dieing ,he dieing ,crying due to sorrow ,without comsciousness on body “ayyo!without kindness upon me  who is  orphan ,with fixed mind in you  only,desiring  curiously  for you only,sorrowful,being troubled by manmatha (lust god),having no other direction(fate), me who is girl  can you go  leaving alone?lord! tharalike  herself  is  witness  ask her.to me who is  baked by your  separation,today’s day is appearing  like crores of epochs.upon me who is your feet servent(charanadasi)why this much of anger?kind to devotee people (bhaktha vathsala),why you became kindless!you open your eyes  once fulfilling   my desire fate .be kind upon me..o kailasa mountain protect me.

by  Upper cover(upper cloth) border slowly  blowd air.faning like that awakening from  unconsciousness “mother,sinful I by questioning you  produced  such big  sorrowful state.therefore  this story is enough.stop.to me also  very difficult to hear..by remembering  only ,unbearable to mind ,close people ,sorrowful mass ,if heard by ears,will it not produce  more sorrow?apart from that,regarding her told like this.”some how with much difficulty till now,tightly held pranas ,now don’t make fuel to old memory fire”he requested.then he was tearing with sorrow.chandrapeeda  telling like this  sighing,responding freely flowing tears again she told”king,what is this you are telling shyful words?in last black deep dark night,not going my pranas  will they go now?yama killing all ,me who is in difficult condition and stone hearted,even to lift  eye and see also hesitates.(feels bad).when it is like this you only tell  how can death come to me?and to talk with first shyness  like meis there any other difficulty?what shall I say! Like that thunderbolt hit  pitiful pundarika’s after death to tell.and ask  anybody impossible  wonderful   one   instance (incident) happened.now I will tell you ,apart from that coming  above and above difficulties ,fundamental ,useless,ingrateful,unfit to  save this my bodythere is one reason.i will talk in this bad  condition seing face of  pan bag holder(sanchi holder) who was crying  continuously”tharalike,without leaving how much you will cry?gather together woods. Prepare for dead body (cadaver,chithe)burning. Why delay?this moment only  I must go  with my praneshwara(lord of prana).while telling like this  suddenly a man descended  from moon system(mandala) ,through sky path.how it was  is ,being  decorated by wabling ,very much garland  with broad chest  being caught by being caught by armlets(tholubandi ,arm bracelets) wearing white dhothi  shaking due to air,by embrace of lasses ,being  leaf letters  except  drawn in breasts,having shoulder region  marked  by ,due to ear  stars(kadaku) hanging in both ears  brightness of rathna  having red cheek,like group of bees  black in curved(bent) hairs ropes, with beautiful  head wearing blossomed  white lotus in ear.

Wearing turban  made of silk cloth,having clean body  like white lotus,having height ,shape charecterised by charecters of  great  persons,a divine shaped great man ,clean body brightness enlighting all directions ,godman   added with more  fragrance spreading  very much,stretched forward his two arms  resembling  asked him.then she was also like  me.like lotus stem(dantu) lifting  dead pundarika  in front of me only.lifting him rised to sky.telling daughter,mahashvetha , don’t  spoil mind  don’t think of  death.again you will join him telling like this rised to sky.”like that at that time  to me very much fear,wonder,curiosity were produced. Fearing very much  I asked kapinjala  what is this  he without answering  me,with upfaced “where are you carrying my friend suddenly without telling  and asking,liftingwhere? Stop?followd that  man and he also went to sky rising.as on seing  all these people  entered middle of  moon system.my sorrpw doubled  as kapinjala  also went  without knowing what to  do”.”tharalika what is this tell.did you  understand  I  asked her.then she was also like me..she was also  under control of   fear(paravasha) .apart from that  she had also doubt  that I may also  leave prana. There she added with kindness “mother, I don’t know  anything .but that great person(mahapurusha) has come like father showing kindness(vaatsalya,affection) has solved your  sorrow. Such people even if  they appear in dreamalso,it will not become false.When it is like this, that divine person  has appeared in front  directly ,he told ,so no place for doubt.nothing more to that.making  your beloved’s(prana kantha) life again to return ,bringing life with purpose  of  sending him back,then divine   has consoled you.therefore without telling it is not true , should leave trial of death.than these consoling words  what  more is needed?if kapinjala is    living  he will surely return to you. Therefore  you should some how  protect your  life till he comes near    you; is any way! Saying like this  she fell on my leg, hey king,though inspite of thinking  it might be  like lotus,above that as it is  not possible by anybody  to leave desire of  eyes  ,from desire bondage,that he may return,as natural  charecters of women  is curved attracting, like this to bad desire(over desire). I have been sinner without being  able to leave ‘prana’.later on the back of  that lake  rolling continuously,spreading, depressed hair’s 

cheeks wet by tears sticked covering cloth ,tone  breaking  due to cry,becoming rough(gaaru)weeping continuously  with tharalike,that fearful sin  night becoming equal  to total destruction(pralaya) night,excessive sorrow becoming  thousands of epochs long,and becoming morning ,weeping me tharalika by support of her body,holding,lifting upright, slowly getting down to bank(dada)  making me to bathe,I did(took)  bath.after taking  bath like that,by extreme love  upon him,wearing his silk cloth,taking his japasara(rosary)  only holding his kamandala (holy vessel) only wearing his  dress only I started brahmacharya.(celibacy).

 World,without allowing mind towards bad thoughts, controling senses keeping away relations and parents ,deciding what is to be  done by tying to whom,I orphan depended (surrendered) on parameshwara who is  lord of all worlds. My parents  coming along with relatives crying, with  purpose of carrying back to  home,spoke many words of consolation.  Requesting like this,”ayyo,she will not come!” my father became very worryful.staying for few days  again with difficulty at end  returned home.after going like that,by chanting(japa),by penance I am exploiting  my body,that is,  just only  gratitude shown to my  died friend.

As though.what is thatis ayyo burnt!baked!hey, cheater(ghathuka?),manmatha what did you do ?hey cruel pity!that manmatha what  injustice she has done to you?fearful moon,did your desire fulfilled?hey chandala !cool air!do you feel happy now?tell ayyo  shvethakethu maharshi! such sorrow you have to see?penance!now who is your  protecter in the world?religion,who will hold your hand?divine way you are spoiled!saraswathi!now you really became  widow!friend am I not aquainted?hence you have not seen me?suddenly like this can you go leaving me?you have become very hard  minded?to me who other assistant (helper)is there?where shall I go now?i have no interest on anybody.to me all directions are showing zero(useless).eye is not seen . who is  is direction (guide) to me?my life became spoiled.crying like this “friend  if you won’t speak,with whom shall I  speak?with whom you are playing?why is this false anger upon me?tell pundarika!where did your friendship go?without paining me  get up a little  and talk” hey king like kapinjala opening mouth to direction direction.on hearing  that  I lost courage ,with sorrow  became as though  my prana(life) has gone.as flood of tears was running profusely  very much ,without being able to see  path clearly.like that missing step (edavu?) jumping  my  upper cloth(meludavu?) being caught  by bush creepers,crying ayyo !ayyo ! crying like this ,somebody pushing dragging ,going method ,went to place   where he was.while going there with  there with fastness  beyond my energy  on bank of pond,secreting drops secreting water droplets ,shining in marble stone ,from group of buds  cool blossomed,flower petals bed,my friend  lying down.  

He was keeping  his hand   on chest which was baked by  lust fire.it’s nail’s brightness ,being afraid of shining  moon turning   back,passing through back piercing chest  came out mass of  moon rays  as though were appearing .as I am coming with love ,as though  he is listening to my leg sound,,by virtue of anger on manmatha  ,after little reduction of pain , by temporarily produced  loss of control(paravasha)  as though  he is sleeping happily.you have loved other person more than me .tharefore  wil  I  remain here tell.”telling like this  with anger  as though gone  from pundarika’s body  prana (life) has gone. If these pranas  are present ,they will produce  tiredness by lust disturbance..therefore    thinking  like this that  there should not be any bondage,pushing them away from body was appearing as though  he is disappearing  static trance  bliss.

                                                                    

Apart from that after  seing me ,as I had come,as though he had given lovable prana to  me as gift of love.to closer men  giving prana itself as love donation  to beloved is not wonder.and for relatives  this  cooling(satisfaction) of lust  fever,put in forehead ,smear vibhuthi  of  smeared three lines,heavy  wet lotus tube (dantu?)  thread ,janivara(sacred thread)keeping on shoulder  tender  banana leaf  covering cloth,  having long japasara(rosary,chanting dead chain)pearl  neck chain  which I had given ,by  dense  campher  dust ashes ,having whitened body, to make cool,hand tied lotus tube ,raksha kankana(protection ring?) having  dress of person doing lust vratha (kama oath) ,to get my vision  as though  practicing (achieving)  manthra.

After pouring of tears  continuously  behind it,eye was red as though  still blood is pouring .eyes were half closed ,being afraid of  hit pain of arrow of  manmatha.when I went  near him”hey cruel ,(though I am paining for  you)you don’t even  meet me once and go.now don’t  come and go!talking like this ,angry with  loveful sorrow ,appearing as though  seing.as his lips  mere little organ, to take away his pranas (lives)  coming entering  moon ray not as though  coming out ,shining   teeth brightness  were  whitening directions.if circular  lotus tube  around neck  is seen  moon by rope of  his rays. Tying knotas though being carried away, to other world.,he was looking. Manmatha’s  arrow pre occupied  chest,he was keeping  his hands.

                                                                    That beloved equal to prana (life),you residing in  my heart don’t  go  with my prana ,be here only”like this as though he was  presenting it  was looking  fine.he had kept another hand upside down  as though  sandal  juice is   is oozing   brightness of  smooth shining  lightning nails were  brightness had  spread around.it was shining as though  it is held  across  moon light  obstructing .by his side  long necked  marble  stone’s kamandala(holy vessel)  was there.it was appearing as though  prana which  has left  my  friend how it goes??thinking  like this ,was appearing  as though  it’s going path  lifting neck . upon seing me  causing suddenly  sorrow doubling ,embracing neck of friend weeping kapinjala  ayyo! Intoxicated  as he was  crying very much, then only died sinless  that great person(mahaanubhava) very ingrateful  ill lucked  myself found  suddenly and fell  unconsciously.then to me  as though  having embraced  cave of paathaala (deep depth) deep darkness  covered. what I became? Where did I fell?  What did I  cry till mouth  got tired?what did I do?from where did  I came.?whose daughter?

                                                                    I was not knowing anything.by virtue of  sin done in past lives,for this body was having  patience to experience  boundless difficulties,attatching to people  continuously  excessively with cruelty  troubling manmatha’s  bent(curved) nature,,by my bad luck ,what shall I say ! hey, king then my prana (life)stood without going   finally in body.i am stone hearted(chested)  awaking after long time of unconsciousness  later this long    grief specially burning a ground like burning coal,I saw  myself very much  shaking.like that I without  dieing ,he dieing ,crying due to sorrow ,without comsciousness on body “ayyo!without kindness upon me  who is  orphan ,with fixed mind in you  only,desiring  curiously  for you only,sorrowful,being troubled by manmatha (lust god),having no other direction(fate), me who is girl  can you go  leaving alone?lord! tharalike  herself  is  witness  ask her.to me who is  baked by your  separation,today’s day is appearing  like crores of epochs.upon me who is your feet servent(charanadasi)why this much of anger?kind to devotee people (bhaktha vathsala),why you became kindless!you open your eyes  once fulfilling   my desire fate .be kind upon me..o kailasa mountain protect me.

Hey,night become protecter to me.hey,achchoda   lake ,o my forest goddesses  all of you  joining donate my husband to me.(make my beloved survive).till I came nobody  gave life to  him ekavali,at least you  were not able to  hold prana a little while!telling like this  without leaving ,again falling on  feet of kapinjala maharshi  again and again, rolling asking him to save,due to sorrow embracing tharalika,crying  desiring dense grown  and sticked(gumed)by smear(application) of sandal  ,clearly from red jade’s(tuft of woven head hairs) base having   show off (fancy) and shining in beautiful  forehead of face,from mass of covering jades  on fine  cheeks,kept for cool  treatment soft lotus tubes on arms,mixed with sandal liquid  and having lotus leaves covered  on soft chest,moving hands often with upset,without moving away from side of pundarika,often blaming”no kindness at all”,embracing neck,crying without gap, incessantly(cintineously)  ,taught by nobody at any time ,never seen before,added with very humbleness,thousands of lovely words,coming from her mouth,floating in tears flood,as birth place to tears flood,place of origin of  thousands of peaks of cry(pralapas),as  though creating  thousands of sorrows, I became”like this telling her story to him previously, experienced unbearable that bad condition’s heritage,now also experiencing ,her spirit was  flied off by  higher unconsciousness.(she became unconsciousness).as becoming unconscious  and falling ,prince chaithrapada on seing  this tumulting(upset) quickly lifting her by  doubt,what is her this condition.?thinking like this ,pouring continuously  from eyes  tears wet her.

by  Upper cover(upper cloth) border slowly  blowd air.faning like that awakening from  unconsciousness “mother,sinful I by questioning you  produced  such big  sorrowful state.therefore  this story is enough.stop.to me also  very difficult to hear..by remembering  only ,unbearable to mind ,close people ,sorrowful mass ,if heard by ears,will it not produce  more sorrow?apart from that,regarding her told like this.”some how with much difficulty till now,tightly held pranas ,now don’t make fuel to old memory fire”he requested.then he was tearing with sorrow.chandrapeeda  telling like this  sighing,responding freely flowing tears again she told”king,what is this you are telling shyful words?in last black deep dark night,not going my pranas  will they go now?yama killing all ,me who is in difficult condition and stone hearted,even to lift  eye and see also hesitates.(feels bad).when it is like this you only tell  how can death come to me?and to talk with first shyness  like meis there any other difficulty?what shall I say! Like that thunderbolt hit  pitiful pundarika’s after death to tell.and ask  anybody impossible  wonderful   one   instance (incident) happened.now I will tell you ,apart from that coming  above and above difficulties ,fundamental ,useless,ingrateful,unfit to  save this my bodythere is one reason.i will talk in this bad  condition seing face of  pan bag holder(sanchi holder) who was crying  continuously”tharalike,without leaving how much you will cry?gather together woods. Prepare for dead body (cadaver,chithe)burning. Why delay?this moment only  I must go  with my praneshwara(lord of prana).while telling like this  suddenly a man descended  from moon system(mandala) ,through sky path.how it was  is ,being  decorated by wabling ,very much garland  with broad chest  being caught by being caught by armlets(tholubandi ,arm bracelets) wearing white dhothi  shaking due to air,by embrace of lasses ,being  leaf letters  except  drawn in breasts,having shoulder region  marked  by ,due to ear  stars(kadaku) hanging in both ears  brightness of rathna  having red cheek,like group of bees  black in curved(bent) hairs ropes, with beautiful  head wearing blossomed  white lotus in ear.

Wearing turban  made of silk cloth,having clean body  like white lotus,having height ,shape charecterised by charecters of  great  persons,a divine shaped great man ,clean body brightness enlighting all directions ,godman   added with more  fragrance spreading  very much,stretched forward his two arms  resembling  asked him.then she was also like  me.like lotus stem(dantu) lifting  dead pundarika  in front of me only.lifting him rised to sky.telling daughter,mahashvetha , don’t  spoil mind  don’t think of  death.again you will join him telling like this rised to sky.”like that at that time  to me very much fear,wonder,curiosity were produced. Fearing very much  I asked kapinjala  what is this  he without answering  me,with upfaced “where are you carrying my friend suddenly without telling  and asking,liftingwhere? Stop?followd that  man and he also went to sky rising.as on seing  all these people  entered middle of  moon system.my sorrpw doubled  as kapinjala  also went  without knowing what to  do”.”tharalika what is this tell.did you  understand  I  asked her.then she was also like me..she was also  under control of   fear(paravasha) .apart from that  she had also doubt  that I may also  leave prana. There she added with kindness “mother, I don’t know  anything .but that great person(mahapurusha) has come like father showing kindness(vaatsalya,affection) has solved your  sorrow. Such people even if  they appear in dreamalso,it will not become false.When it is like this, that divine person  has appeared in front  directly ,he told ,so no place for doubt.nothing more to that.making  your beloved’s(prana kantha) life again to return ,bringing life with purpose  of  sending him back,then divine   has consoled you.therefore without telling it is not true , should leave trial of death.than these consoling words  what  more is needed?if kapinjala is    living  he will surely return to you. Therefore  you should some how  protect your  life till he comes near    you; is any way! Saying like this  she fell on my leg, hey king,though inspite of thinking  it might be  like lotus,above that as it is  not possible by anybody  to leave desire of  eyes  ,from desire bondage,that he may return,as natural  charecters of women  is curved attracting, like this to bad desire(over desire). I have been sinner without being  able to leave ‘prana’.later on the back of  that lake  rolling continuously,spreading, depressed hair’s 

cheeks wet by tears sticked covering cloth ,tone  breaking  due to cry,becoming rough(gaaru)weeping continuously  with tharalike,that fearful sin  night becoming equal  to total destruction(pralaya) night,excessive sorrow becoming  thousands of epochs long,and becoming morning ,weeping me tharalika by support of her body,holding,lifting upright, slowly getting down to bank(dada)  making me to bathe,I did(took)  bath.after taking  bath like that,by extreme love  upon him,wearing his silk cloth,taking his japasara(rosary)  only holding his kamandala (holy vessel) only wearing his  dress only I started brahmacharya.(celibacy).

holding vratha (deeksha,oath) like that my lack of  luck,hardness of god,extra sorrows,unbearable mental pain, thinking about temporariness of things  of

 World,without allowing mind towards bad thoughts, controling senses keeping away relations and parents ,deciding what is to be  done by tying to whom,I orphan depended (surrendered) on parameshwara who is  lord of all worlds. My parents  coming along with relatives crying, with  purpose of carrying back to  home,spoke many words of consolation.  Requesting like this,”ayyo,she will not come!” my father became very worryful.staying for few days  again with difficulty at end  returned home.after going like that,by chanting(japa),by penance I am exploiting  my body,that is,  just only  gratitude shown to my  died friend.

Che!che! no chanting,no penance,hey king ,in name of chanting  I and counting mass of his charecters,,that is all! Hey  moon like king,one who is fit for ill fame,without any good signs,amangala(non-good) form,born as waste, kindless,loveless,joyless,,fit for blaming,living  as waste(vain),cruel,being goaled by  great sin of killing Brahman(brahmahathya),ungrateful(ghaathaki), on hearing about me what is  the use?tell!(telling like this  beautiful moon,being crossed by  white layer of cloud of  sharath season,she was  covering her face by white silk cloth(naaru madi),was crying continuously. After consoling her,with difficulty who was crying ,  chandrapeeda has respect towards her due to  her good charecters.now as she had all her news,completely from beginning to end,with good will,he having attracted mind told like this”worshipable,in world pouring some tears showing friendship females,what is  speciality?you leaving boundless worldly joys and enjoyment like this,residing in forest,punishing delicate body, have yielding to this much of  severe penance,,like you who has gratitude  towards  friend(beloved)?in case if sahagamana(co-death) is due ,will the dead one get up?in order to  hide anxiety of burden of sorrow few people die together.

Such people what favour  will they do  to dead?died people according to karmas done by them,will get rebirth in different places.

By that, first died  and those die along with  will join  together means fully  absurd.apart from that ,to those who died  together  will get only self killing  defect(dosha),also.no other use.if they live without dieing with  died personby giving      offer(tharpana) excetra  great help is possible.after death of manmatha did his wife rathi died?did kunthi  die  with pandu king?and when abhimanyu died  ,did utthare  died?when syndhava died  did dushyle  died? Are all these not  known to young?.apart from that what is great matter for me to correct you?that man only has  come to console  you means what should I say about  it’s extraordinary.words of such people  sure will not become  false.therefore your behavior which is not  blamable,should not be  blamed by telling many epical  stories.by many kinds of consoling  words,some how  consoling ,and then going slowly with humbleness, bringing stream(jhari) water  chandrapeeda  ,in spite of her  not wishing ,forcefully  made her to  wash face. Hearing this mahasvetha  vritthantha  as though having got  great sorrow sun aso leaving day’s work   became downfaced(got down).later as sun system (mandala) was  getting down to western sea.universe(brahmaanda)    as though smeared bu  purple (violet,jambu) colour  like eyes of kokila.,beautifully bright  dense evening red  spread through out world.

In that evening  ,later washing legs with water of  kamandala (holy vessel) after finishing  rituals of evening   time, sat in  ash bed(bhasmashayye) with long sigh.those  who have undertaken  paashupatha vratha (oath)sleep on bed arranged by vibhuthi(holy ash).to that bhasmashayye  is name. on this side chandrapeeda  performing  sandhyavandana(evening rituals) making himself bed of  creeper,bed and sat.there thinking in mind only  various  peculiar mischieves of manmatha ,with wonderful  mindtold like this.”your attender(servent) tharalika where she has gone? Where is she?.as chandrapeeda  asked.mahashvetha started to tell .how it means.
