Meaning
Dear friend! Pray, listen! My mind is in agony. I reach the couch, in the beautiful palace quite earlier than
expected and wander around, waiting for him.
I make garlands with exotic flowers like Bela, Camelia, Dauna, Maruva, Campa, and rose.
I am miserable just like the fish out of water. While I try
to sleep, I do not get sleep. I am disturbed and cry out for my beloved now and then.
I wait for him to apply scented sandal paste,
Attar, Aragaja, etc. on my body, every day.
