In another cauldron, she asked her friend to sit in and covered it with an iron plate.
She had laced it with butter and when cold, had put it on the top side.(14)
Dohira
Where other cauldrons, full of milk pudding, were lying,
She placed it there too and, with lather (on the plate) it looked the s and the friend was not visible to any one.(16)
Chaupaee
She went forward and welcomed Raja with great honours.
‘Since the time you built this palace for me, my Raja, you never cam here.’(17)
Dohira
She leapt forward, fell on his feet,
‘You have come after a long time, it is my good luck.’(18)
Chaupaee
Whatever there was in Raja’s mind, he divulged to her.
‘I will search the palace myself, catch the paramour and send him to the death cell.’(19)
She took Raja to the whole palace but no thief was found.
She brought her husband there where the cauldrons were lying.(20)
‘When 1 heard that my Raja was coming, 1 was very much appeased.
‘I got all these cooking prepared, as I had realised that my lover w coming.’(21)
She lifted the lid from the one and offered milk to her lover (the Raja).
Then she distributed among the others but the foolish Raja could no com prehend.(22)
One cauldron, she sent to the poor and the second one to the sages.
The third one she sent to the ascetics and the fourth one to the celibates.(23)
She gave fifth cauldron to the servants and sixth one to the footmen.
The seventh cauldron, she gave to her lady-friends and through this, she sent him to the proper place.(24)
Right {n front of Raja’s eyes she made the paramour to escape an
imprudent Raja could not discern, rather, he loved her more.(25)
Dohira
While making love her, he kept on looking at her face,
And the by putting him in the cauldron, she swiftly let him go free.(26)
