Savaiyya
He did not agree to his mother, and, leaving her in distress, he came to the palace of Rani.
Immediately he called Brahmins, the priests, and whatever wealth there was in the house, he distributed.
He took his wife with him, became yogi and travelled towards the jungle.
After renouncing the country, he became a mendicant and determined to get into ruminations.(78)
Kabit
The laudability of this jungle makes (god) Indra’s garden Who is there, who could meditate quietly in such a jungle,
Which is abounded (with trees) like the stars in the sky?
Neither there could come the Sunrays, nor the Moonlight enters Neither there were the gods visible, nor were seen the demons.
Neither it was approachable to the birds, nor the insects could trod in.(79)
Chaupaee
When they reached such a jungle, they saw a palace like house.
The Raja declared that he had found a place for meditation.(80)
Rani’s Talk
Here I will meditate by reciting the name of Rama.
We will spend a lot of time in this house anderadicate our sins.(81)
Dohira
The Rani had called some body and made him to discern (the secret).
Then that man in Yogi’s attire appeared to meet the Raja.(82)
Chaupaee
She told the Raja that the some yogi had come.
Whatever he (Yogi) had told me at the time of his death, is becoming true. (83)
Dohira
Raja, believing him to be his Guru, bowed on his feet.
What discourse he delivered, I (the narrator) am going to relate it now.(84)
Yogi’s Talk
‘After ablution in the rivulet, when you sit here,
‘I will convey you the essence of the Godly knowledge.’(85)
Chaupaee
Thus she made the Raja to go away from the place, and assigned another person to sit on the roof-top.
Saying three times, ‘listen to the Saint’s words,’ then kept quiet.(86)
When Raja came back after bathing then he uttered the words,
‘Listen, when I had died, it was done with the consent of the Lord of Righteousness.’(87)
Dohira
(The Voice)’Why have you come here after deserting the Raj, the reigning?’
(The Raja )’Oh the Supreme Yogi, please narrate to me the whole story.’(88)
Chaupaee
(The Voice) ‘What the Lord of Righteousness had expressed to me,
Now I am going to tell you.
‘He had asked me to make you to abide by this,
Failing which, you will keeping on roaming around in the hell.(89)
‘Like the benefit of the meditation of thousands of years
You must indulge in the Justice.
‘One who does justice according to the righteousness of Shastras,
‘The god of destruction does not come near him.(90)
Dohira
‘The Raja who does not execute justice and depends on falsehood,
‘And, after forsaking governance, goes to meditate, he is destined for hell.(91)
‘He should have served his aging mother,
‘Had listened to the righteousness and not gone to the jungle.(92)
‘I am the same yogi, whom the Lord of Righteousness had sent.’
Thus had spoken the one who had been hiding (behind the cove).(93)
When the yogi had made the Raja to understand his explication,
He smiled and repeated three times, ‘it is true.’(94)
(And he continued) ‘It is easy to live in this world,
‘But, to run the reign during day and meditate at night, both are not two tiresome duties.’(95)
Chaupaee
Listening to such pontificating, the Raja deemed it true in his heart.
(He determined) ‘I will rule over the country during day and, at night,
I will delve in meditations too.’(96)
Thus Rani prevailed cognisance on the Raja.
