The Sunar sits with his mat spread, 



With all his # iron tools in his wallet, and in the earthen bowl fire 

 brightly kindled ; 



Taking his blowpipe the Sunar begins to blow the fire, having fixed the 

 anvil in front. 



Into the crucible he throws silver and gold and melts down both, 



Then takes them out, casts them into an iron trough, quenches them 

 in cold water ; 



He uplifts his good hammer, and on the ingot fall many blows. 



By dint of hammering and cutting are fashioned pretty ornaments, 

 the worker's skill is shown ; 



Eingsf for second toe, rings for little toe, plain anklets, rings for big 

 toe, and hollow tinkling anklets are worked at steadily and heartily ; 



Pdejels% of great price are made, fitted with a thousand bells, 



JPaijands turned out very handsome, the sound of tinkle tinkle was 

 heard all along the road. 



Seeing the§ twisted ankle-chain, the woman from behind the screen 

 opened the door-chain and staid gazing ; 



The plain linked chain, and the zone with round links and double band 

 were graceful in her sight, 



* Lwdhhar = lokhar, i. e. iron tools : tod is frequently substituted for medial o 

 and yd for medial e. 



f The enumeration of personal ornaments begins with those of the feet and so 

 upwards to those of the ears. 



X Pdejebs and paijands are varieties of ankle ornaments. 



§ In the original the same word ' sdnkar' expresses both kinds of chain.
