Analysis of Endowment
Looking at the full moon, kerosene flame says,
On my forehead, draw a mark of royalty.
When you are covered, in the new moon
Yet I, with the light, go on lighting.
Hearing this the earthen lamp, guffawed
People loves more, in worship-prayer.
Moon smiled and said, "Listen, both of you."
You both are equally meritorious, there is no shame.
