satya kahehu giribhava tanu ehā। haṭha na chūṭa chūṭai baru dehā॥ kanakau puni paṣāna teṃ hoī। jārehuṃ sahaju na parihara soī॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

You have spoken the truth that my body was born of the mountain. So my obstinacy will not leave me, even if the body itself must perish. Gold too is born from stone; even when it is burned, it does not abandon its nature.
