'āmāra ghoḍā grīvā nā phirāya ūrdhve nāhi cāya
tāte ghoḍāra mūlya ghāṭi karite nā yuyāya'

 āmāra ghoḍā - my horses; grīvā - the neck; nā phirāya - do not turn; ūrdhve - upward; nāhi cāya - do not look; tāte - because of this; ghoḍāra mūlya - the price of the horse; ghāṭi karite - to reduce; nā yuyāya - is not proper.

“Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka said, ‘My horses never turn their necks or look upward. Therefore the price for them should not be reduced.’
