If he doesn’t at least sit in the cremation ground, fierce spirits will come,

fall upon his body They will not let people do good deeds, so he sits there,

in the Anushasana Parva of the Mahabharata,

“ When there is the pure Kailasa, when there is such wealth,

when there is the house of Chintamani,

అడిగితే ఆయన చెప్పాడు

“ As long as Parvati is alive,

will say,‘ Let’s not go to the cremation ground,’ and no one will come, Parvati.

I say,‘ I am so tall,’ I say,‘ I am tall,’ I say,‘ I am fair, I am a scholar,’

తెల్లగా ఉన్నానంటాడు పండితుణ్ణంటాడు

I say,‘ Verses come easily to my tongue, I can give discourses,’

I say,‘ I know songs, I can dance,’ I say,‘ I am an officer, I have money with me,’

నేను అధికారినంటాడు నా దగ్గర డబ్బుందంటాడు

I say,‘ I can sing,’

From the person who thought he had all this, once his breath has gone out,

they take him, lay him down on four new wooden poles… Rolling up the mat,

tying it with rope,

laying him on the logs and burning him The living man

gets up and stands After the skull is shattered,

even the beloved son bathes and leaves After darkness has fallen Oh my,

చీకటి పడిపోయాక

all around are fearsome spirits I believed I had no one of my own, only them.

నా వాళ్ళన్నవాళ్ళు లేరు వీళ్ళని నమ్ముకున్నాను

When he was crying that he had no one at all, to tell him," I am here for you,

నేను ఉన్నానురా అని చెప్పడానికి

man," if even I had not been there,

అక్కడ ఉన్నాను పార్వతీ నా కర్మ కాలక కాదన్నాడు.
