asa bicāri soi karahu upāī। sabahi jiata jehīṃ bheṭahu āī॥ jāhu sukhena banahi bali jāūṃ। kari anātha jana parijana gāūṃ॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
Considering this, make the one plan by which you may meet everyone while they are still alive. I would gladly sacrifice myself; leaving the servants, family, and village orphaned, go to the forest in peace.
