His wife, Bharmar Mati, was so comely that she appeared to be takenout of the Moon.
Her magnificent youth was relished by the gods, devils and serpents.(2)
Bhadar Bhawani was a sage; he was so handsome that he looked likeGod’s special creation.
When the Rani saw that egocentric, she was totally infused with thelove for him.(3)

She sent her maid to the dwelling place of Bhadar Bhawani,
And called him to her house to attain bliss.(4)

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)

(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
She made the sage to sit in a cauldron and left a hole in it,
Throqgh which he could breath but water would not seep in.(l4)
