English translation
Viyoga(separation after meeting):
“You protected us, Your friends, from the fire of digestion of Aghāsura, from the poison of Kāliya and from the appetite of the forest fire. But how will You protect us despairing friends from the attack of the fever of separation—which is far more ferocious than any of those three dangers?”
