Lobhé munshii mundi, Padam Dasiz gudo.

Translation. 
In July of this year, a coined news c 
d every one said that a new settlement was to be made, 
and the land was to be measured. 
The Tika Sahib’s two hienahic. named Lobhé and Brin- 
drdban 
ey ie ‘measure the land at the plain of Tanam, near 
Pretty Badan Dasi, of a self-willed temper, 
Secretly taking with her a bottle and some roasted 
wheat, cried :— 
ere are you Lobha munshi ? 
Go on, we will go to Gyambung or live in Sunam.’’ 
Lobha munshi replied :—*‘ I’ll not go to Gyambung, because 
I have landed property worth more than a thousand rupees, 
And at home is my dear wife, who has two sons.’ 
The Padam and Lobha’s love increased day by day, 
Padam Dasi’s ring is on Lobha’s han 
And Lobhaé munshi’s ring on Padam D4si’s hand ; 
But there is no hope of their meeting in this w orld, 
Yet they will meet in the next, before its Gar whose 
name is Dharm Raj
