The respectful words that you spoke

are not proper, you wicked fellow
 

Beware that desire in other women

will be the cause of grief

 

Long ago Ravana was bewitched on

seeing Sita and kidnapped her;

Rama found out his trickery,
took his bow, crossed the sea 

and in no time killed him

 

This is no lie; I have five cupid-faced

Gandharvas (elves) as husbands;

they are clever and devious 

so forget your desires, don’t plot to cheat.

 

You evil cad, if one of them comes to hear

what you told me today, 

that will cause enmity,
they will have no pity, and fight will ensue;
Watch out, they will kill you.
