(303) Rajar kumar paksiiraje
The crown prince seated on a bird,
Where has he gone on heavenly flight?
The gold-embroidered blue turban
Tied round his head has passed out of sight.
Seven champa brothers came back, asking,[1]
"Our dear sister, where has she gone?
Sister Parul,[2] where can she be?"
The crown prince, seated on a bird,
Delivered sister Parul;
To her brothers he delivered.
Seven champa brothers on their seven seats,
With seven plates they sat eating.
With them the royal prince they brought;
And on their foreheads, sister Parul
Applied there a Brothers' Day[3] phota.
