Krishna Kanta, still nodding, replied, "Who is that? Nandi? Tell your master to foreclose at once."

Rohini saw that Krishna Kanta was in one of his frequent bouts of opium-smoking. She laughed and said, "Who is Nandi? Thâkur Dâdâ."

Krishna Kanta, without raising his head, replied, "It is quite correct what I said. He (Nandi) has eaten up the milkmaid's butter at Brindâban, and has not paid yet."

Rohini burst out laughing, which startled Krishna Kanta. Raising his head, he looked at her and said, "Who is that? Aswini, Bharani, Krittikâ, Rohini?"

Rohini.  "Mrigashirâ, Ârdrâ, Punarbâsu, Pujyâ."
