His elder sister was a beautiful woman named Mati,
His wife, Bharmar Mati, was so comely that she appeared to be takenout of the Moon.
His job and image was very beautiful
Her magnificent youth was relished by the gods, devils and serpents.(2)
There was a hermit named Bhadra Bhavani.
Bhadar Bhawani was a sage; he was so handsome that he looked likeGod’s special creation.
When the queen saw that arrogance
When the Rani saw that egocentric, she was totally infused with thelove for him.(3)
Dohira
She sent her maid to the dwelling place of Bhadar Bhawani,
And called him to her house to attain bliss.(4)
Arril
After getting the message, Bhadar Bhawani came there.
He was enchanted with the reflection of the beauty of Bharmar Kala.
(Rani:)‘Oh, my master, you remain here as I seek your welfare.
‘A vision of yours has eradicated all my afflictions.’(5)
Dohira
All the dejections ofBharmar Kala were obliterated,
And, with the God’s blessings, she attained extreme ecstasy.(6)
Wearing a blue veil (sari) does not make her look unsightly.
(In love) they remain stagnant because they are enamored. These nains are very fertile.7.
Chhand
(Sage:)‘The fire of passion was kindled, which made me to shave off thehead (become a sage).
‘Then, in the spirit of separation, I supported the matted hair,
And with ashes on the head, I was exclaimed as a Yogi,
‘Since then I have been roaming around in: jungle but passion hasnot subsided.’(8)
(Rani:)‘First, there has been a sage called Attar, who married Ansua.
‘Then came Rama who made Sita as his wife.
‘Krishna, the epitome of Vishnu, had sixteen hundred women.
‘The convention of man and woman has been originated by theCreator himsclf.’(9)
Listening to the astUte talk, the sage was appeased.
After some extenuations, he beamed and narrated an anecdote.
‘Listen, Damsel, you have been created by God himself.
And, consequently my heart has fallen in love with you.’(10)
Dohira
Relating such talk, Bharmar Kala decimated his celibacy,
Then, open heartedly, made love with him and achieved elation.(11)
They kissed each other multifariously and adopted many poses’
And shedding all perpetrations, she revelled with him.(12)
Suddenly, Raja Bachiter Rath arrived there,
And, on learning this, the Rani felt ashamed ofherself.(13)
Chaupaee
Put him in the pot
She made the sage to sit in a cauldron and left a hole in it,
(so that) the wind cannot go into it
Throqgh which he could breath but water would not seep in.(l4)
(Then) tied him with ropes ('jivarn').
