The king was a worshiper of Vishnu.
Raja worshipped god Vishnu and always reflected on his appellation.
He did not think of Shiva at all.
He would never recollect Shiva and continuously recounted the praises of Krishna.(2)
(He) used to say thus to the queen
He reprimanded Rani as well why did she think of Shiva so much.
There is no miracle in it.
‘My mind is convinced that he has no celestial powers.’(3)
(Once the queen said) If I show you the miracle of Shiva
(Her reply) ‘I will show you the miraculous power of Shiva and then you will be convinced.
You know nothing of Shiva's character.
‘You don’t realize the Chritars of Shiva, as you are just confined to your palaces and treasure.(4)
Chhapai Chhand
‘Primarily Shiva killed the Devil Tripur and was honoured as Tripukiller.
Then, with tresses imbued in colours, he earned the admirations as god Gandharabh.
With the tresses as such he was worthy of being called god of Jatty.
Animals, birds, Jachh, Bhujang, the gods, the evils, men, women and sages, all became fond of him.
Being married to Parbati he is addressed as Parbati-spouse as well.
But, you, Oh Foolish Raja, cannot comprehend such mysteries.(5)
Dohira
‘First I will show you Shiva’s miracle,
‘And then I will put you on his righteous path.’(6)
Chaupaee
When she saw her husband sleeping,
When he was sleeping, she jumped over and swiftly turned over his bed.
(She) then started chanting Shiva, Shiva, Shiva,
And continuously orated, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva but Raja could not perceive the enigma.(7)
Who has pushed me and hit me
(He said) ‘Some body has toppled over my bed, and, Rani, I could not discern.’
Tell me all about this
(Rani) ‘Please tell me in details and open up your mind.(8)
(The queen replied) You are to utter some (bad) words against Rudra.
‘You must have spoken badly about Shiva and, now, you are facing Shiva’s wrath.
(He) has shown you this miracle.
‘He has shown you his miracle by knocking you down the bed.’(9)
Hearing these words, the fool was very afraid.
Learning this, the foolish Raja dreaded and fell upon the feet of the woman.
(And started saying) I have stopped chanting Vishnu from today
‘I abandon the meditation upon Vishnu and will, from now on, remain attached to the feet of Shiva.(10)
Shiva has shown me a miracle.
‘Shiva has shown me the marvel and has given me sanctuary under his feet.
Now I have become his disciple.
‘I have become his disciple and I forswear the deliberations of Vishnu for ever.’(11)
Dohira
By toppling over the bed on which Raja was sleeping,
Through this manoeuvre, Rani turned Raja into a devotee of Shiva.(12)(1)

There was a great Parbates king.
Up in the lofty mountains there was one Raja who belonged to Chandrabansi clan.
He had a wife named Bhagmati.
Bhaag Mati was his wife, and it seemed she had stolen radiance from the Moon.(1)
Dohira
It is heard that he had a very big palace and a flag always remained hoisted there.
That splendid palace could not be overlooked and it was an epitome of heaven.(2)
Chaupaee
(Once) the queen saw Debidat,
When the Rani saw Deb Datt, she felt as if she had come across a treasure of splendour.
He sent Sakhi and called him
She sent her maid and called him over and made love with him.(3)
Birdev Raje heard
When Raja Bir Dev heard that a paramour had come to his place,
The king was very angry and took the sword
He was enraged, he unsheathed his sword and, instantly, reached the place.(4)
When Bhagwati saw the king
When Bhaag Mati saw the Raja, she sent him (the friend) upstairs of the palace.
She went ahead and welcomed her husband
She went forward, stopped him (the Raja) and invariably intimated with him.(5)
Dohira
She had a room completely filled with cotton.
She told Raja that she had caught a thief that day.(6)
