And she felt like a raindrop, which submerges in the sea.(14)
The lover’s love penetrated her heart so much that she lost all her
wisdom becoming unconscious, fell flat on the ground.(15)
Sortha
She felt no blood was left in her body, and the shame had flown away.
The woman fascinated with the lover’s glimpse became impatient.(16)
Chaupaee
She thought, the day she achieved her lover, she would feel sanctified.
To save the alienation, she decided o accepted his enslavement
without the care of the people’s talk.(17)
Dohira
On seeing him, Boobna had felt entrapped in the wake of his
separation. Remaining hungry and thirsty, without any monetary gains, she decided to become his serf.(18)
She adorned thirty-two types of ornaments and embellished herself.
For sake of the love for her lover she, even, got her nose pierced.(l9)
The urge for the meeting with lover sprung up so much,
That she lost the awareness of her body and the surroundings.(20)
Savaiyya
(Such lover) are not satiated and they do not care about people’s talk.
They are unable to chew the beetle-nuts (to show their adulthood), and they just while-away laughing like the children.
They abandon the god Indra’s bliss to gain this momentary pain of love.
One may be hit by an arrow or cut with a sword, but may he not fall in love like this.(2l)
Dohira
When Boobna’s mother saw Boobna falling flat on the ground,
She was wise and she immediately understood her pain of love.(22)
Chaupaee
(She thought,) ‘She has fallen in love with some body, that is why she has lost her appetite.
‘Some remedy must be found through which all her afflictions are eliminated.’(23)
Contemplating thus, she asked her husband,
‘Your daughter has come of the age, she should be betrothed now.(24)
‘We will arrange a huge savayambar (ceremony for the selection of her own husband) and invite big princes.
‘Our daughter will look at them and whom-so-ever she picked, she will be married to.’(25)
After planning, as such, in the morning, they invited all the people from the town.
They sent messengers to far off places and invited the princes.(26)
Dohira. (In the meanwhile) Boobna kept on her visits to the garden.
And after meeting Jallaal Shah, she would come back at night.(27)

Such a love affair flourished in them that they both lost their awareness.
They became epitome of godly images and, although two in body, they seemed to be one in spirit.(28)
Dohira
When the day broke, Boobna’s father called in all the princes,
And asked his daughter to select the person of her own choice for her marriage.(29)
Chaupaee
On the other hand she had called in Jallaal Shah as well,
(And told him) ‘When I will come across you,
I will place the garland of flowers around your neck.’(30)
Seated in a palanquin, she went round and looked at each one observantly.
When she reached near Jallaal Shah, she put a garland around his neck.(31)
Then the trumpets started to blow in favour
ofJallaal Shah and the other princes were perplexed.
They looked like as if the Creator had robbed them off their right.(32)
Dohira
All the princes, at the end, left for their abodes,
And the love of Boobna and Jallaal was much more enhanced.(33)
Chaupaee
Thus, it is how the lady performed duplicity, and it looked like as if a
