Mahinwal was dismayed, ‘Where has Sohani gone?’
He jumped into the river to search, but in the waves lost himself.(8)
Some said, Mahinwal himself killed Sohani,
But the fact is, with unbaked pitcher she was killea and then he was killed by hitting his head.(9)(1)
101st Parable of Auspicious Chritars Conversation of the Raja and the Minister, Completed with Benediction. (101)(1866)
Dohira
The son of Raja Aj used to live in the city of Ayodhiya.
He was benevolent to the poor and loved his subject.(1)
Once a war broke out in between the gods and the devils.
Then the god Indra decided to send in Raja Dasrath.(2)
Chaupaee
He told his ambassadors, ‘Go and get Dasrath,
‘And tell him to come abandoning all his tasks and to go to fight on our behalf.’(3)
Dohira
The ambassador, Satkrit, went along to wait on Dasrath,
And what ever the order his Master gave, he conveyed.(4)
Chaupaee
Whatever he (Raja) was told and conveyed, Kaikaee (Dasrath’s consort) secretly came to know as well.
(She said to the Raja)) ‘I will accompany you, as well and if you don’t (take me with you), I will immolate my body in the fire.(5)
The lady had loved Raja and the Raja adored the Rani immensely, She added, ‘I will serve you during the fight,
‘And, my Master, if you die, I will become a Sati by sacrificing my body (in the fire) with yours.’(6)
The king of Ayodhiya marched immediately towards where the fighting between the gods and the devils was going on.
Where stone-like hard bows and poisonous scorpion-like arrows were being showered and the braves were pulling them.(7)
Bhujang Chhand
On one side there was god Indra and on the other furious devils.
They besieged Indra like the wind envelopes the dust storm.(10)
