&lt;poem&gt;"god thangjing had spoken in my ears and i have his behest upon me. verily said the god, i am sated with offerings of flesh and fish, but this year, my heart longs for the sweet savour of the flesh of the mighty bull that lurks in the reeds that border the water of the lake. my servant khamba vows that he will bring it for my honor and for the welfare of the state."&lt;/poem&gt;
