42he saw the self in the highest Brahman and the highest Brahman in the self; then he let go of even the seeing, and rested from that. 43The daughter of Vidarbha, for whom her husband was her god, gave up her pleasures and waited with love on Malayadhvaja, who knew the highest dharma. 44In bark cloth, thin with vows, her hair grown into one braid, she shone quiet beside her husband, like a flame beside a fire gone still. 45Not knowing that her dearest had passed away, since he sat there quite steady, the woman came near him and served him as before. 46When she honoured his feet and felt no warmth in them, her heart shook in her, like a doe strayed from the herd.
47Grieving for herself, wretched and without kin, wetting her breasts with helpless tears, she wept aloud in the forest.
