(Mehar then addressed the image of Suhni) "Where eddies were formed, where the river was dangerously active in erosion, where swimmers or those: who used jars as floats, could not fathom depth of the river, where many swimmers with their goat skin floats hesitated and stayed away on the bank, and from there they watched terror-stricken the river, how was it that you, O Suhni! so carelessly ventured to enter the river at those fords?

Where whirlpools chum, where dangerous boulders fall,
Where ignorant of its depth and size, are sailors all,
Naive maid! how did you think of entering there?

Where water whirls in eddies fearsome banks cave in,
Ace swimmer and the pitcher-using,
River men could not fathom river's depth,
Many with inflated goatskins stood trembling on the bank,
How you, naïve could enter into such a river?
