Dohira
In the city ofBhim Puree, a devil named Bhasmangad used to live,
In fighting, there was none comparable to him.(1)
Chaupaee
He meditated for a long time and attained a boon from Shiva.
Any body, on whose head he placed his hand, he would be reduced to ashes.(2)
When he saw Paarbati (wife of Shiva), he thought to himself,
‘I will put my hand on the head of Shiva and perish him in the twinkling of eye.’(3)
With this in mind he came to kill Shiva.
When Shiva saw him, he, along with his wife, ran away.(4)
Seeing Shiva running away, the devils gave him a chase.
Shiva headed towards east and the devil followed too.(5)
Dohira
He kept roaming in three directions, but found no place to rest.
Then, relying on the will of God, he ran towards North.(6)
Chaupaee
When Shiva headed for North, Bhasmangad followed too, thinking,
‘I will reduce him to ashes and take Paarbati away.’(7)

‘Initially try to put your hand on your head, if a couple of hair are burnt,
‘Then you put your hand on the head of Shiva and win me over.’(9)

In a flicker, the idiot was burnt and the Shiva’s distress was eliminated.(l0)
Dohira
Through such an Chritar, Paarbati annihilated the devil,
