(And on the birth of the child) she named him Sher Singh.(9)
Chaupaee
After some times the Raja breathed his last.
Though vile gestures, she declared that inferior character as the Raja and none new the secret.(10)
Dohira
This is how destiny prevailed, a destitute bacame Raja, she fulfilled her designs,
And no one realised her deceptive Chritar.(11)(1)

Now, listen my Raja, I narrate to you the story of a moneylender,
How a lady in the woods tattooed a bird on his rectum.(1)
Chaupaee
Whenever, the moneylender came back (from business), he boasted,
‘1 have killed twenty thieves’.
Some times he would come and say, ‘I have killed thirty thieves.’(2)
Every time he bragged as such, wife would just keep quiet.
She would not contradict him at his face, and restrained her reaction.(3)
Nirat Mati (that lady) devised a scheme and sent for a horse from the stable.
With sword in her hand and a turban on her head, she disguised herself as a man.(4)
With a sword embellishing in her right hand, she would appear to be a soldier,
Dressing herself as a man, she looked like chief of the army.(5)
Dohira.
Bedecked with a sword, a shield, a spear, and a flag, instead of a fernale.
She reflected herself to be a great warrior.(6)
The moneylender was satisfied in all respects,
And had proceeded jovially towards the woods, singing all the way.(7)
Chaupaee
Seeing him going all alone, she made up her mind to beguile him
Performing fighting feats she came and unleashed the sword.(8)
Dohira
‘Where are you, the fool, going? Come and fight with me,
‘Otherwise, taking your turban and clothes away, I will kill you.’(9)
Chaupaee
Hearing this he took his clothes off, and started to nimble the grass (and said),
‘Listen, the swindler, I am your servant, today please pardon and Spare my life.(10)
