Moreover, my lady, when afflicted with hunger they arrive at the time of the Vaiśvadeva rite and go away empty-handed—that is precisely what pains my heart.  
The burning heat of poverty's fire was extinguished by the water of contentment;  
By what can the internal burning, caused by the destruction of a petitioner's hope, be quieted?" (103)
