शृणुमैथिलि मद्वाक्यं मासान् द्वादश भामिनि ॥ कालेनानेन नाभ्येषि यदि मां चारुहासिनि। ततस्त्वां प्रातराशार्थं सूदाश्छेत्स्यन्ति लेशशः॥
śṛṇumaithili madvākyaṃ māsān dvādaśa bhāmini || kālenānena nābhyeṣi yadi māṃ cāruhāsini| tatastvāṃ prātarāśārthaṃ sūdāśchetsyanti leśaśaḥ||
English Meaning
Hear, O Maithili, my words. O damsel if, O you of sweet smiles, within this time you do not turn yourself to me, the cooks shall cut you off in pieces to serve my morning mcal.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
