The fool said, “It is God’s blessing”, and when the people heart this they beat him up.(12)
Dohira
After getting the beating of more than ten thousand shoes,
The weaver reached the house of his in-laws.(13)
Chaupaee
‘The house people offered him food but he did not eat and went to sleep empty stomach.
When half the night had passed, the hunger tormented him.(l4)
Bolding a stick he broke the pitcher and drank all the water.
The Sun rose, the stars went away and he took in his hands the weavers’ wefts.(15)
Dohira
Be bartered the wefts, acquired a sword and marched again.
Be reached the place where a lion used to plunder the people and eat them.(16)
Being afraid, holding the sword in his hand, he went up the tree.
And down there the lion, which was right furious, took his place.(l7)
Chaupaee
When the lion looked up at the weaver, he trembled and the sword fell from his hands.
It went right into the mOUth of the lion and came out ofthe stomach.(18)
When he observed that the lion was dead,
He came down, cut the ear and the tail and showed to the Raja to claim more wages.(l9)
Dohira
The Raja had an enemy, who had raided him.
Reflecting on his bravery Raja appointed him as the supreme commander.(20)
Chaupaee
When the weaver heard this news, he called his wife.
Both were terror stricken and, at the pitch of the night, took their way to the jungle.(21)
When the weaver and his wife were running away, the thunder storm approached,
And amidst the severe lightning, they lost their way.(22)
Losing their way they came to the place where the Raja’s enemy were encamping.
There was a, well which was not visible to them and the weaver fell in it.(23)
Dohira
When he fell in the well, became unconscious,
Then the woman shoUted, ‘My dear lion killer has fallen there.’(24)
