Konkani to English:
तातूंतलो सगळ्यांत श्रेश्ठ तो श्वैतू, तो आत्मनिर्भर आसता आनी ताका धर्मीक शिकवण दिवपाची आनीक गरज आसना; ऐर्यमन, वा इश्ट, तो चुकिचे वटेन वच्चे न्ही म्हूण लोकांची इश्टागत घडोवन हाडटा; आनी वेरेझना, वा वावुरपी, तो प्रत्यक्ष मळावेलो सक्रीय वावुरपी आसता आनी धर्माचो प्रसार करता.
The highest is the Xvaitu, who is self-sufficient and no longer requires religious instruction; the Airyamna, or friend, who befriends people to keep them from going astray; and the Verezanah, or worker, who is the active field worker on the ground and is to spread the faith.
