ਚੌਪਈ ॥

Chaupaee

She brought with her the pitchers full of sweets and dry-fruits.

She established her camp where the devils used to come and eat the fruits.(27)

When they felt hungry, the devils came to that place,

Finding the pitchers, they relished them and drank lot of wine.(28)

After drinking excessively they were fully intoxicated, and when she learned this,

She played transcendent music and sang numerous songs.(29)

More the prostitute danced, more the devils were enchanted.

When the (King) Devil’s anger had subsided, he put down his mace.(30)

When she came too close, he relinquished to her his sword as well.

Now, surrendering all his weapons, he became armless and this became visible to all.(31)

Dancing and dancing fast, she came near him and put a chain around his arms,

And, through an incantation, tUrned him into a prisoner.(32)
