Note: In Sanskrit, the word order is relatively free, and can vary depending on the emphasis one wants to put on certain words. In the above sentence, “I” is represented by the word “मैन:” (mainaḥ), “her” is represented by the word “तस्याः” (tasyāḥ), “a dollar” is represented by the word “दोलारं” (dolāraṃ), and “on a horse” is represented by the word “अश्वे” (aśve). The verb “bet” is implied by the context and not explicitly stated in the sentence.
