Konkani to English:
तांणी रामायण आनी महाभारत वांगडाच वाचलेलें, तांणी मराठ्यांच्या झुजारी प्रसंगांचीं वर्णनां वाचिल्लीं, आनी हिंदूंच्या शौर्यान जागृत जाल्लीं तांचीं काळजां प्रभावशाली प्रेरणेन एकसाथ धडधडटालीं.
They had read the Ramayana and the Mahabharata together; they had read together the accounts of the warlike deeds of the Mahrattas, and their young hearts had throbbed together at the noble inspiration which the stories of Hindu heroism awoke.
