“Yato yato garu dhuraṁ, yato gambhīravattanī;
gambhīravattanī tadāssu → gambhiravattani tadassu (bj); gambhīravattani tad assu (pts) | gambhīravattanī → gambhīravattani (sya-all)
No matter how heavy the load, or how deep the passage,
Tadāssu kaṇhaṁ yuñjanti, svāssu taṁ vahate dhuran”ti.
tadassu → tadāssu (bj: machasaṁ, syā) svāssu → savāssu (sya-all)
when they harness Black, he pulls that load.

Kaṇhajātakaṁ navamaṁ.
navamaṁ → (bj)
