In fifteen days there is but one eleventh; why
do you not keep this most solemn festival?
Will your life perish through fasting for one day?
Under pretence of a light meal you eat your fill.
Your purpose is to advance yourself, you will
please people with a sermon on Hari and a show
of honour to the saints. Are the wakeful nights
few which you have passed at home? Will you
perish if you go one night to the temple? How
is it you have grown so delicate, says Tuka?
What answer will you give to the messengers of
Yama?
