‘Whatever you desire for and whatever you ask for, you will be granted.’(9)
When the devil asked a couple of times, then, with great efforts, she said,
‘You cannot help me to get rid of my afflictions.’(10)
The demons immediately wrote an incantation and gave that to her,
‘Once you show it to anyone, that person will be annihilated.’(11)
She took the incantation and keeping it her hand showed it to him.
As soon as he saw the writing, he was exterminated.(12)

Was despatched to the domain of death through the clever Chritar of the woman.(13)(1)

Chaupaee
On the banks of river Ravi, a peasant Jat called Mahinwal used to live.
A woman named Sohani fell in love with him and came under his dominance.(1)
At the Sunset, she used to swim across the river and there (to see him).
Holding an earthen pitcher in her hand she would jump in (the river) and arrive at the other side.(2)
One day when she ran out, her brother, who was slumbering there, saw her.
He followed her and discovered the secret but Sohani did not realise.(3)
Bhujang Chhand
Imbued in love, she ran to the direction,
Where, under the bush, she had hidden the pitcher.
She picked up the pitcher, jumped into the water,
And came to meet her lover but none could fathom the secret.(4)
Thus she would go to meet him again and again, to quench her thirst of the fire of passion.
She would row back with the pitcher, as if nothing had happened.(5)
(One day) Her brother reached there early in the morning with an unbaked earthen pitcher.
He broke into pieces the baked one and put the unbaked-one in its place.
The night fell, Sohani came and, taking that pitcher, plunged into water.(6)
Dohira
When she had swam about half way, the pitcher started to crumble
And her soul abandoned her body.(7)
