ਜਾਤੈ ਇਹੈ ਬਚਨ ਤਿਨ ਕਹਿਯੋ ॥

Jaatai Eihi Bachan Tin Kahiyo ॥

ਮਾਧਵ ਖੇਤ ਹੇਤ ਤਵ ਰਹਿਯੋ ॥

Maadhava Kheta Heta Tava Rahiyo ॥

Raja (Bikrim) told her that Madhwan had died in the war.

ਸੁਨਤ ਬਚਨ ਤਬ ਹੀ ਮਰਿ ਗਈ ॥

Sunata Bachan Taba Hee Mari Gaeee ॥

ਨ੍ਰਿਪ ਲੈ ਇਹੈ ਖਬਰਿ ਦਿਜ ਦਈ ॥੬੨॥

Nripa Lai Eihi Khbari Dija Daeee ॥62॥

Hearing the news she immediately breathed her last and then Raja went to give the news to Brahmin.(62)

ਯਹ ਬਚ ਜਬ ਸ੍ਰੋਨਨ ਸੁਨਿ ਲੀਨੋ ॥

Yaha Bacha Jaba Saronan Suni Leeno ॥

ਪਲਕ ਏਕ ਮਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਾਨਹਿ ਦੀਨੋ ॥

Palaka Eeka Mahi Paraanhi Deeno ॥

When he (Brahmin) heard this news through his own ears, he, instantly, expired.

ਜਬ ਕੌਤਕ ਇਹ ਰਾਇ ਨਿਹਾਰਿਯੋ ॥

Jaba Koutaka Eih Raaei Nihaariyo ॥

ਜਰਨ ਮਰਨ ਕਾ ਨਿਗ੍ਰਹ ਧਾਰਿਯੋ ॥੬੩॥

Jarn Marn Kaa Nigarha Dhaariyo ॥63॥

When Raja witnessed this, he decided to immolate himself as well.(63)

ਤਬ ਬੈਤਾਲ ਤਹਾ ਤੇ ਜਾਗ੍ਯੋ ॥

Taba Baitaala Tahaa Te Jaagaio ॥

When the flaming pyre was ready, suddenly Betaal, (his court poet) appeared.

ਸੰਚਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਤਿਹ ਦੁਹੂੰਨ ਜਿਯਾਯੋ ॥

Saanchi Aanmrita Tih Duhooaann Jiyaayo ॥

ਨ੍ਰਿਪ ਕੇ ਚਿਤ ਕੋ ਤਾਪੁ ਮਿਟਾਯੋ ॥੬੪॥

Nripa Ke Chita Ko Taapu Mittaayo ॥64॥

He sprinkled the nectar over the bodies of both of them, made them alive again and eliminated Raja’s affliction.(64)
