And instantly beguiled the devils.(26)(1)

In the country of Narnaul, there lived a Raja known as Vijay Singh.
He used to spend most of the time lying down with Phool Mati.(1)
The person, whom Vijay Singh revered all the eight watches of the day,
Was Phool Mati, and she was like a bunch of flowers.(2)
One day Vijay Singh went out for the purpose of hunting,
There he came across one Bharam Kala and he felt an ardent desire for her.(3)
Chaupaee
Be married her and brought her home, as she had fat :n for Raja too.
On learning this, Phool Mati became angry but received her honourably.(4)
She gave her intense love and called her as her righteous-sister.
Internally she was furious and had decided to annihilate her.(5)
The one she revered, she made up her mind to terminate.
Spending a lot of money she got a temple of Shiv a buill up.(6)
Both the co-wives went there and v’orshipped Shiva.
The pinnacle of the temple was quite high and it was appreciated by the gods, devils and all othds.(7)

All the ladies of the town went to that temple,
And returned to their households after idolising Shiva.(8)

One day the Rani took her there, brandishing a sword in her hand, she cut her head off.
The cut-off head, she presented to Shiva, and, herself, she came and told the Raja.
Dohira
‘The righteous-sister has taken me to the temple,
‘And there she cut her head and presented to Shiva.’(10)
Chaupaee
Learning this, the Raja came to the place where her severed head was lying.
He was astcnished but he did not dispute the woman.(11)
Dohira
(He said,) ‘The woman, who has cut her head off, and, with her own hands, has presented to Shiva,
‘She and her parents are worthy ofhonours.’(12)
