DASAKOM 47

 STANZA 1

 ONE DAY YOU APPROACHED YOUR MOTHER,

 WHILE SHE WAS CHURNING MILK, AND IN YOUR GREED FOR MILK

 STOPPED AND LAY ON HER LAP

 AND STARTED SUCKLING HER BREASTS FOR MILK

 STANZA 2

 SUDDENLY SHE SAW MILK BOILING OVER THE BRIM OF THE POT,

 AND RAN TO PUT OUT THE FIRE

 STANZA 3

 ANGRY AT BEING STOPPED

FROM ENJOYING THE MILK,

 YOU, TAKING THE CHURNING ROD IN HAND,

 BROKE THE MILKPOT, MY LORD

 STANZA 4

 YOUR MOTHER CAME RUNNING,

 WHEN SHE HEARD THE LOUD NOISE,

 AND SAW THE SPILLED AND SPREAD MILK

 LIKE YOUR FAME, WIDELY KNOWN

 STANZA 5

 NOT SEEING YOU WHILE ANGRILY SEARCHING

 FOR YOU WHO CAN BE SOUGHT

 ONLY IN THE SCRIPTURES, SHE FOUND

 YOU FEEDING THE CAT WITH MILK

 STANZA 6

 SHE, CATCHING YOU WHO WENT PALE WITH FEAR,

REDFACED FROM RAGE

 TOOK A NEW ROPE IN HAND

 IN FRONT OF YOUR FRIENDS

 STANZA 7

 EVEN AFTER JOINING

 SEVERAL STRANDS OF THE ROPE,

 SHE FOUND IT SHORT

 BY TWO FINGERS EVERY TIME

 STANZA 8

 AT LAST YOU KINDLY ALLOWED HER TO BIND YOU,

 AS, IN FRONT OF FRIENDS,

 WHO WATCHED SMILING AND PANTING

 AT WHAT WAS PANNING OUT IN FRONT

 STANZA 9

 SHE TIED YOU ON THE RICEMILL AND WHEN SHE LEFT SAYING,

, “BE HERE FOR SOME TIME, IMPERRTINENT BOY”

 YOU ATE THE BUTTER

YOU HAD HID IN A HOLE IN THE MILL

 STANZA 10

 THE DEVAS PRAISED YOU THUS,

“IF YOU CAN BE BOUND,

 ONLY BY THOSE WHO HAVE NO PASAM (PASAM MEANS PASSIONATE DESIRE)

 BUT NOW BY HER WHO HAVE PASAM (MEANING ALSO ROPE)”

 I PRAY AGAIIN, SAVE ME FROM MY ILLNESSES PLEASE
