Alas, how merciless is Providence! My wife, unable to be helped by anyone, is in such an awkward position and lamenting for me. What will Providence gain by taking away this poor bird? What will be the profit?

Alas, how merciless is the Lord! Why afflict my poor wife who was kind to me and is lamenting for a wretch like me? Devaḥ means the Lord. My wife was merciful to me (karuṇayā).
