:1)
jāva muhodaaṃ āṇemi
Hard it is to abandon a deep-rooted passion; remembering again and again, sorrow is made fresh; / yet this is the course of things: that shedding tears here, the mind, having discharged its debt, attains serenity.
JESTER: His presence's face is indeed drenched with falling tears.
Let me bring water for his face.

[aśrupātaklinnaṃ khalu tatrabhavato mukham | yāvan mukhodakam ānayāmi | ]
[His presence’s face is indeed wet with falling tears. I shall fetch water for his face.]
