Gobinda Dāsa michhai àso,
Why didst thou say a word of meeting, At night thou goest with another? Having made deceitful love to Rāī (Rådhika) Thou makest sport with another woman. Who says that Kánh is the crown of lovers? Like thee another fool there is not in the world.
Leaving the diamond thou delightest in glass;

Again making entreaty Kánh (says): f HT is a somewhat anomalous oblique singular of ºf thou as in Bengali T is generally pronounced j, we are perhaps justified in transliterating this word tujá when it will be an analogous form to mujh in the same line. It occurs again a little lower down; the dropping of the
aspirate of the # is one step in the transition from the Bihar forms mujh, tujh to the Bengali mo, to. § Hà this is pure Hindi and has no representative in Bengali.

The words in the text agree with the Bhojpuri of Behar better than with the modern Bengali in one respect, namely, in that they retain the a in the second syllable, or in other words they affix the terminating syllable to a base rakha,
not as in Bengali to a weakened base rakhi. The curious variations of the terminal vowel in the several persons may erhaps be referred to excessive corruptions of the forms
