vipra bale - the brāhmaṇa says; tīrtha-vākya - the promise made on the pilgrimage; kemane - how; kari - I shall do; āna - otherwise; ye ha-uk - whatever may be; se ha-uka - let it take place; āmi - I; diba - shall give; kanyā-dāna - my daughter in charity.

The elderly brāhmaṇa said, “How can I undo the promise I made in a holy place while on pilgrimage? Whatever may happen, I must give him my daughter in charity.”
