H. (Henry) Parker translation
Having waited until the time when the man goes to the watch-hut [at night], this woman every day while he is in the chena having cooked raw-rice1 eats small beans (māekaral) [with it] in the house. Every day having cooked fry of them (the beans), and given to the little one, they eat it every day at night [without his knowledge].
