English Meaning
With their bellies swollen for the obstruction of the wind the celestials with folded hands said: "O lord of created beings, you have created four classes of beings and you have given us wind to preserve our lives. But we do not know, why the wind, the lord of our beings, is distressing us, by obstructing our movements like to females confined in an inner apartment.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
