English Meaning
O foremost of monkeys, what you have said, shall undoubtedly be carried out into action. As long as my stories shall be current on earth your fame shall exist and life shall in your body. And as long as the world shall exist my themes shall be related. I cannot, even at the sacrifice of my life, release myself from the debts of one good service out of the many, you have done for me, O monkey; and I shall for ever remain indebted to you for your last benefaction. Of let them wear out in me, for men, at the time of danger, become worthy of having their benefits returned.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
