After telling Raja like this, she tied him and brought him out,

Rani looked at him furiously and ordered her maids,

The king thought that it had killed the evil one.

ਤਿਨ ਤਨਿ ਤਨਿਕ ਖੇਦ ਨਹਿ ਪਾਯੋ ॥
tin tan tanik khed neh paayo |

The Raja thought, the culprit had been finished, and his distress was thus eradicated.

ਉਠਿ ਤਹ ਤੇ ਨਿਜੁ ਧਾਮ ਸਿਧਾਯੋ ॥
autth tah te nij dhaam sidhaayo |

(He) got up from there and came to his house.

ਇਹ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਨਿਜੁ ਜਾਰ ਲੰਘਾਯੋ ॥੧੧॥
eih charitr nij jaar langhaayo |11|

He got up, went away to his own palace, and the woman, through this trickery, saved the friend.(11)

Such an explanation was given to Raja that no 11mb of his was evident.
