Adhyay 14.

“Maiki pora jonom kora manuh tu, tar din khan olop ase aru dukh pora bhorta ase. Tai phul nisina uthi ahe aru sukhi jai; tai chaya nisina polai jai, aru beshi deri nathake. Eneka ekjon manuh uporte Apuni nijor suku rakhe na? Aru moi ke Apuni logot te bisar koribole ane na? Letera pora sapha jinis kun pora ulai anibo pare? Kun bhi nai. Tar din khan to thik kori dise karne, tar mahina khan laga ginti Apuni logot te ase, aru Apuni simana rakhi dise, juntu tai paar koribo napare, tar pora suku hatai dibi, titia tai aram koribo pare, jitia tak poisa pora rakha kaam kora manuh nisina tai nijor din pura kore.

“Kilemane ekta gash nimite asha ase: jodi eitu ke kati dile, aru notun kori ulabo, aru tar notun daal khan khotom nahobo. Jodi bhi tar shikor mati te purana hoi jai aru tar thuna mati te mori jai, pani laga gundho pa-i kene eitu kolpibo aru notun ropa gash nisina daal khan ulai dibo. Kintu manuh to mori kene giri jai; ekjon manuh tar ses saas loi, aru tai kot ase? Jeneka pukhuri pora pani harai jai, aru nodi komti hoi kene sukhi jai, teneka manuh to shui jai aru uthi nathake; jitia tak sorgo khan nathakibo, tai uthibo nai aru nijor ghum pora bhi jaga nahobo.

“Apuni jodi moi ke kobor te lukai rakhile, Apuni laga khong namatatak moi ke lukai rakhile, moi karne ekta thik homoi rakhi dile, aru moi ke yaad korile! Jodi manuh mori jai, tai aru jinda hobo na? Moi laga tan kaam laga sob din khan moi rukhibo, jitia tak moi laga notun kora din ahe. Apuni matibo, aru moi jawab dibo Apuni ke; Apuni nijor hath laga kaam nimite itcha koribo. Kilemane titia Apuni moi laga kodom khan ginti koribo; Apuni moi laga paap uporte sa-i nathakibo. Moi laga golti khan ekta jhula te bondh kori rakhibo, aru Apuni moi laga paap dhaki dibo.

“Kintu jeneka ekta pahar giri kene bhangi jai, aru ekta pathor tar jaga pora hati jai, jeneka pani pora pathor khan ghisi khai, aru tar joar pani pora prithibi laga mati dhui loijai, teneka Apuni manuh laga asha khotom kori diye. Apuni tai ke hodai nimite jiti loi, aru tai paar hoi jai; Apuni tar chehera biya kori diye aru tai ke pathai diye. Tar chokra khan sonman pai, aru tai eitu najane; tarkhan niche kori diye, aru tai dhyan nadiye. Tai khali nijor gaw laga dukh he anubhav kore, aru khali nijor nimite he kandi thake.”
