   • 14th century, Madhav Kandali, Saptakanda Ramayana Lanka Kanda:

     দুইহন্তে দুইহাঙ্ক কিছু ওছক নযান্ত ।
     তেলিয়াৰ জান্ত যেন চোবাৱন্ত দান্ত ॥

     duihonte duihaṅko kichu öchoko nojanto ,
     teliyaro janto jeno cöbawonto danto .

     Both don't go near each other,
     they chew their teeth like the machine of an oilman.
