Creator, in the stones, and sending some to pilgrimage to have dip in waters. ‘Using any means, plundering the wealth of some and the those who are wealthy you don’t let them go back to their homes.(75) ‘Coming across a rich-man, the Brahmin, somehow, you find deficiency in him. ‘Then you involve him in various sacrificial rituals, rob him and let him go after making him pauper.(76) [B]Chaupaee[/B] ‘Some of the people he sends to the sacred places and in the reverence of some, he finds flaws. ‘Like a crow, a bee or a fly, he roams around the wealthy ones,(77) ‘Like the two dogs falling apart on the sight of one bone, two intellectuals bark upon each other. ‘Externally they talk about Vedas but internally they yearn for the prosperity.(78) [B]Dohira[/B] ‘Always, they have craving for money but they display that they are praying to the gods. ‘Behaving as such, they never achieve the Almighty and waste whole of their lives.(79) [B]Arril[/B] ‘They talk about education but don’t know what attainment is and pretend to enlighten the people but, in fact, they make fool of them. ‘What if the fools have not savoured cannabis, all the people know that they are ignorant of their own existence.(80) ‘After taking cannabis, the intrepid fight and, even, pull out elephant tusks ‘They hold tight their spears and go and brandish their irons (the weapons). ‘Oh, you the coward, what would you remedy after taking cannabis, ‘You will just go there and fell flat with your face down,(81) [B]Bhujang Chhand[/B] ‘Oh, you, Brahmin, you go and impart such guidance to these (imbeciles) and spare me from these fabrication. ‘You promote your fallacies elsewhere to promote your leather coins (unworthy efforts),(82) ‘You will go to the hell and will be incarnated as a Satan, ‘Or, being hung upside down along with your sons, wife and daughters, you will be annihilated.(83) ‘Oh, Brahmin, tell me, how will you respond when you are entangled in the of death, ‘What prayer will you perform there, and will you indulge in the worship of organ there too?(84) ‘Where the death leads you, Shiva and Krishna will come too, ‘There only the godly name of Ram will come to rescue you but not your sons, mother wife or brothers.(85) ‘One should bow only to the Almighty whose sovereignty is prevailing over all the fourteen regions. ‘They all revere to his magnificence an a perceive Him as the Provider,(86) ‘None can perceive His contour and magnitude. ‘What His name is and how He is addressed, how far can I narrate as I have no aptitude to expound.(87) ‘He has neither a father, nor a mother, or a brother and also no sons, grandson or grand-parents,(88) ‘He creates many, and some, He destroys. He establishes as well as decimates, ‘Many times He roams around in all the four directions and the Eternal Being is recognised in the Guru.(89) ‘I revere Him as my preceptor because my body is His endowment. ‘Through His creation I am exclaimed as a lady and, on account of His sanctuary, I worship Him.(90) [B]Chaupaee[/B] ‘Oh, Pundit, I believe only in one Almighty and cannot put my mind in to the stones, ‘I take a stone as stone and that is why people mind it ill.(91) ‘We will call a spade, although people may resent. We don’t care and we must divulge the truth.(92) ‘Listen, Pundit, being greedy for money, you go on begging from every body. ‘You never feel ashamed and do not fear the Almighty.’(93) The Priest Talk Then the Brahmin spoke, ‘What do you know, who consider Shiva as a Stone? ‘If some one calls them otherwise he earns the wrath of Almighty.(94) ‘One who talks ill of them, he is destined for the hell. ‘They should be venerated as they are the only pristine true gods.’(95) [I]The Princess Talk[/I] ‘We believe only in one God and do not value Shiva much. ‘We will never adore Brahma and Shiva and we are not afraid of the them.(96) ‘The one who exalts Shiva and Brahma as the gods, he is bound to face the death. ‘And the ones who recollects Almighty, the death does not come near them.(97) ‘Those who adore the Almighty, they never face the noose of dissolution. ‘They are showered with all mundane and spiritual powers and they strive successfully.(98) ‘Even one day spent in the remembrance of the Almighty endows temporal and godly potency too. ‘Their coffers are filled with various riches and there wealth never diminishes.(99) ‘One who recognises the Almighty, he gets emancipation from the transmigration. ‘In the universe, he enjoys all the comforts and, after killing the enemies, revels in love-making.(100) ‘Oh, you the Brahmin, when you are tormented by death, which book will you have in your hands. ‘Will you recite Bhagwat Purana, Bhagwat Geeta or will you try to get hold of Ram a or Shiva?(101) ‘Oh, Pundit, whom you consider supreme beings, they all are in the sway of Kaal. ‘And the retribution of the Kaal is not spared even to (the gods) Shiva, Brahma, Indra and Vishnu.(102) ‘Same as the Lives of the gods, there are Lives of the demons. ‘May be some peoples are Hindus and some Muslims, but the kaal, above them all, is supreme. (103) ‘Sometime the demons terminated the gods and sometime the gods exterminated the demons. ‘ ‘But the One who annihilated both the gods and the demons, He is the Supreme Provider to us all.(104) [B]Arril[/B] ‘He eradicated Indra, Upinder, Sun, Moon, Kuber, Jallandhar, [B]Shesnaag[/B] ‘The one whose sovereignty is prevailing over fourteen region, only He should be paid obeisance. (105) [B]Chaupaee[/B] [I]The Brahmin Talk[/I] She tried to make the Brahmin understand but he explicated, Those who worship the Stones, their sins will be obliterated.(l06) ‘Those who remember the icon of Shiva, all their transgressions will be eliminated. ‘But , those who relinquish him, are pushed into the hell.(107) ‘One who gives some money to a Brahmin, he gets ten time that thereinafter. ‘But the one who donates to some one other than Brahmin, he remains unsuccessful.’(1 08) [B]Arril[/B] Then the woman picked up the statue of Shiva and laughingly hit it on the face of the Brahmin. With the icon, she broke all the teeth of the Brahmin and snatched his gear.(109) ‘Now, tell me, Brahmin, where has gone your Shiva? ‘You have been idolising him who has smashed your teeth. ‘The organ which you have been adoring, has come to hit your face.’(110) [B]Chaupaee[/B] All the wealth, which was confiscated from that Brahmin was distributed among the (other) Brahmins. (She) told the Brahmin, ‘Don’t worry, you will get ten times more in the life thereinafter.’(111) [B]Kabit[/B] ‘They (Brahmins) solicit others to squander the wealth but themselves remain spendthrift and don’t use even turmeric in their cooking. ‘They are great plunderers and ravage the people in the bazaars in broad daylight. ‘They don’t posses even a penny and they wander out begging pennies. ‘The one whom they call daughter, they conduct immorality. ‘Born out of greed, they pretend to be benefactors but they are the incarnation of mdigence.( 112)[B] Chaupaee[/B] ‘They don’t use even turmeric in their cooking but they talk big among others. ‘They make themselves renowned as the princes of some country but, in practice, they are not worth pennies,(113) ‘If there was any truth in their occult power, they would not go Out begging.’ ‘Expounding a few words from their mouths, they fill up their coffers with money.(114) ‘Rama and Krishna, which they cite, and Shiva and Brahma, which they quote, ‘They all were exterminated by Kaal, and then reincarnated by Kaal.(115) ‘Numerous are there Krishnas and Ramas and many are there Chituran,Shiva and Vishnu, ‘Also are the Suns and Moons, and they all fetch water (perform menial errands) for Kaa1.(116) ‘In due time, through the Kaal’s wish, they were incarnated and through Kaal’s wish they were perished. ‘They will manifest by dint of Kaal, and by Kaal’s desire they will be annihilated.’(117) [B]Dohira[/B] Through just one curse a sage was turned into the stone, And, now, all those revering it as God must feel ashamed.’(l18) [B]Chaupaee[/B] [I]The Brahmin Talk[/I] Then the Brahmin flew into rage and started to snarl, ‘Now I will go to the Raja and demand you to be summoned there tied up.’(l19) [I]The Princess Talk[/I] Then, the Princess got hold of the Brahmin and threw him in the rivulet. She choked him eight times in water and purged him thoroughly this way.(120) She told him, ‘I will go to my father and tell him that you have molested me. [I]The Brahmin Talk[/I] Heeding this, the Brahmin felt scared and fell on her feet. ‘whatever you say I will explicate and, please, cast off your Indignation, ‘(122) The princess Talk ‘You announce, “Initially, I will have ablution and then I will dispense with all my riches. “I will never worship the stones and will pay obesance at the feet of the Mahan KaaI, the Almighty.”(l23) [I]The poet Says[/I] Then the Brahmin worshipped Mahan Kaal and dropped all the icons in the rivulet. No one even had the wind of what had transpired with the Brahmin.(124) [B]Dohira[/B] Through such stratagem she manoeuvred the Brahmin to submerge the stones. After making him to savour wine and cannabis, she made him the server of Mahan Ka1.(l25)(1) 266th Parable of Auspicious Chritars Conversation o/the Raja and the Minister, Completed with Benediction.
