Bilingual excerpt

पैठणमध्ये सरस्वताबाईंचा जुना हातमाग होता।

Saraswatabai had an old handloom in Paithan.

तो त्यांच्या पणजीचा होता।

He was from his great-grandmother.

त्यावर साडी विणायला दोन महिने लागत।

It took two months to weave a saree on it.

एका व्यापाऱ्याने त्यांना यंत्र घ्यायला सांगितले।

A merchant asked them to buy a machine.

त्याने दहापट वेगाची हमी दिली।

He guaranteed ten times the speed.

सरस्वताबाईंनी नम्रपणे नकार दिला।

Saraswatabai politely refused.

त्या म्हणाल्या की घाईत धागा घाबरतो।

She said that the thread is scared in a hurry.

त्यांची एक साडी आता संग्रहालयात आहे।

One of his saris is now in the museum.
