Translation
Have the edible roots and bulbs flown away in floods? Have the streams flowing in the hills vanished? Have the bark-clad ascetic ladies namely the trees holding tasty fruits in their branches, perished? that men look up at the faces of those wicked men who are extremely impolite and whose ‘eye-brow creepers’ dance pushed by the ‘wind of arrogance’ rising from the very little wealth acquired through hard-ships? ॥ 25 ॥
