He took out his sword and stepped forward.
Then he (the friend) pinched some sand and threw in his eyes.(7)
He became blind and kept sitting and the lover ran away.

great king lived in the north country
In a country in the North, there lived a Raja who belonged to Sun clan.
Roop Mati was his beautiful wife
Roop Mati was his wife; she was the embodiment of Moon.(1)
That woman was engaged in a vile affair.
That woman was implicated with a low character and the whole world criticised her.
When the king heard this story,
When Raja came to know of this, he shook his head (in dismay).(2)

When Raja investigated, he found her communicating with that man.
From that day (the king) stopped making love to her
He abandoned adoring her and became the lover of some other ladies.(3)
(That king) fell in love with other women

Many (efforts) were made but not a single one (succeeded).
But he did not yield and banished her from his heart.(9)
When the matter (of her adultery) came to the king's mind,
As this now pestered his mind, he would not think of having sex with her.
Only one woman knew all these secrets.
Only the woman knew this secret which, being ashamed, she could not disclose.(10)
Dohira
Then Raja ordered not to give anything to the woman,
