“Then, there will descend the celestial renderings,
“Through which you will acknowledge the God-seeking Yogi.”(56)

Rani built a palace in Ban.
Rani built a mansion in the jungle and constructed an alcove in there,
In which people can hide
Behind which a man could hide and where he could do whatever he liked.(57)
(He) could not look down while sitting
The person sitting beneath could not see him and his voice would seem as an articulation from heaven.
Rani made a man sit there.
Rani asked a man to sit in there, and, with the incentive of lot of wealth, she trained him.(58)
Dohira
She had a servant named Anoop Singh,
In his profile he looked as if he was in the guise of Yogi.(59)

He said (that somehow) you should explain to the king
She told him, ‘Acting like a yogi, you make Raja to understand,
Like how to bring the king back home.
‘And bring him round to come home and you will get whatever you desire.’(60)

When Rani had called him and asked him to talk like that,
He, being a clever man, comprehended all the secret.(61)

Then the queen came to the king
Then the Rani came to the Raja and got two coffins prepared.
(He came to the king and said) You take one and I will take one.
‘You wear one and other I will. I will go in for meditation with you.’(62)
Dohira
When Rani said so, Raja smiled and asked,
‘Whatever he had talked, you let me know.’(63)

‘’Aye, Pretty Woman, to live in the jungle is very wearisome, how would you tolerate?
“There you will have to bear on your body all sort of cold and heat, how would you survive that?
“There exist the reptiles as big as the trees, looking at them, you will cry,
“There prevails extreme drought, if you ever fell down, who will help you to get up.”(64)
Rani’s Talk
‘Listen my master, I will bear the cold winds on my body but will not leave you,
‘Seeing the reptiles as tall as trees, I will be dreaded.
‘Abandoning the reigning, and the wealth I will accompany you to gain contemplation.
‘I won’t hesitate to bear all the miseries, and, even, would live on the leaves.’(65)
Raja’s Talk
Dohira
‘You better look after the dominion and remember your master every
Day, ‘Complying with my entreaty, you look after your sons.’(66)
Savaiyya
‘I am relinquishing the governance and by leaving all this I do not even fancy the god Indra’s domain.
‘The horses, elephants, and foot soldiers, which are trustworthy, I do not conceive.
