Of the good Age of Truth, of the World of Truth,
of the Third Age, of the Third World,
they were without sons, were without daughters.
they were without sons, were without daughters.
[Don't play the drum loud, make your voice loud, not the drum!]
they were without sons, were without daughters.
In Naked Woman Village, Kulananda Astrologer,
exceptional in knowing, exceptional in hearing:
"Oh, good sonless one, oh, good daughterless one,
good Black-hued Girl, good Blue-hued Girl,
oh, look at your birth, oh, look at your fate,
in six months, a year, of a good ten months,
of a good ten months, of a good ten months,
a son shall be born, a son shall be born."

marriage of the twelfth day, marriage of the twelfth day,
good Karmawatī, good Karmawatī,
Mahādev's daughter, good Karmawatī,
performing her birth marriage, performing her birth marriage.
Leaving off unnecessary work, Kulananda Astrologer,
reached the appointed house, the home; reached the house, the home.
In a roughly thatched shed, in a narrow mat shelter,
as after menstruation, she was put in seclusion.

with the Great Ash-covered Warrior, with blessed Mahādev,
with blessed Mahādev, with blessed Mahādev.
"Honor to you, Mahādev," she said. "Honor to you, Mahādev," she said.
"Not having a son, not having a daughter,
oh, examine my birth, how can a son be born?"
He began to examine her fate, began to examine the moment,
began to examine the lunar house, began to examine the lunar house.
Of good Black-hued Girl, of good Blue-hued Girl,
a son was born, a son was born,
Payalpur's birth, Payalpur's birth.
For Mahādev's daughter, good Karmawatī,
morning of the tenth month, naming ceremony of the eleventh day,
marriage of the twelfth day, marriage of the twelfth day,
blessed Mahādev's daughter, Karmawatī,
gave the gift of a virgin, blessed Mahādev,
in the good crocodile month, in the good crocodile month,
transferring the gift of a virgin, left to displace the planets,
month to replace the time of death, month to efface the planets,
gave the gift of a virgin, to the lower world,
true maternal uncle's daughter, true paternal uncle's son,
true paternal aunt's son, true maternal uncle's daughter,
gave the gift of a virgin, gave the gift of a virgin.
[aside]
In the lower world, in the lower world,
it was impossible to work, was impossible to labor,
the place didn't match, the space didn't fit,
a difficult father-in-law, a difficult mother-in-law,
a lazy person's slow helper, the winnowing tray's chaff.
"So lazy," he says, the difficult father-in-law,
the difficult mother-in-law, beats her with teeth bared,
the difficult father-in-law, the difficult father-in-law:
"So lazy," he says. "So hazy," he says.
"At the husband's house when all's well, at the parents' when it's stale."
She fled and returned. Coming fleeing,
She fled and returned. Coming fleeing,
at the house, the home, Mother Pārvatī:
"What, why have you come? Yes, my own daughter."
"It proves dark at night, proves dark at day,
the place didn't match, the space didn't fit,
it was impossible to work, was impossible to labor."
"Oh, your own father, for twelve years,
oh, blessed Mahādev, oh, blessed Mahādev,
sleeps for twelve years, is awake for twelve years,
oh, blessed Mahādev, oh, blessed Mahādev."
She began to plead, Mother Pārvatī,
at Mahādev's headrest, with hair knotted,
unfortunate daughter, misfortunate daughter,
cries a fountain of tears, cries a fountain of tears,
teardrops flowed, torrents flowed.
As the tears flowed, they caused a river to flow,
of blessed Mahādev, reaching eleven years,
as twelve years began, as twelve years began,
of blessed Mahādev, his feet became cold.
"Such sweet sleep, such sweet sleep."
Looking about tipsily, looking about turvily,
blessed Mahādev, blessed Mahādev:
"O Daughter Unfortunate, O Daughter Misfortunate,
a true paternal aunt's son, a true maternal uncle's daughter,
having presented the gift of a virgin, having presented the gift of a virgin,
what's this, what happened? What's this, what happened?"
"It proves dark at night, proves dark at day,
it was impossible to work, impossible to labor,
the place didn't match, the space didn't fit,
my difficult father-in-law, my difficult mother-in-law,
the winnowing tray's chaff, a lazy person's slow helper,
my difficult father-in-law, my difficult mother-in-law,
call me lazy, call me hazy,
my difficult mother-in-law, beats me with teeth bared,
the space doesn't fit, the place doesn't match,
'At the husband's house when all's well, back at the parents' when it's stale,'
that I fled and returned, fled and returned."
