ਦੋਹਰਾ ॥

ਬਹੁਰਿ ਮੰਤ੍ਰਿ ਬਰ ਰਾਇ ਸੌ ਭੇਦ ਕਹਿਯੋ ਸਮਝਾਇ ॥ ਸਭਾ ਬਿਖੈ ਭਾਖਤ ਭਯੋ ਦਸਮੀ ਕਥਾ ਸੁਨਾਇ ॥੧॥

Now, the mantris in the court (ਸਭਾ) are going to speak (ਭਾਖਤ) about the ਦਸਮੀ ਕਥਾ, the 10th tale as the first charitar was a tale in ਉਸਤੱਤ of Vaheguru Ji.

ਬਨਿਯਾ ਏਕ ਪਿਸੌਰ ਮੈ ਤਾਹਿ ਕੁਕ੍ਰਿਆ ਨਾਰਿ ॥

In Pishaur (ਪਿਸੌਰ), there is a business man (ਬਨਿਯਾ) who had a very bad wife indulged in very bad actions (ਤਾਹਿ ਕੁਕ੍ਰਿਆ ਨਾਰਿ).

ਤਾਹਿ ਮਾਰਿ ਤਾ ਸੌ ਜਰੀ ਸੋ ਮੈ ਕਹੋ ਸੁਧਾਰਿ ॥੨॥

The summary of the story is here that: ਤਾਹਿ ਮਾਰਿ ਤਾ ਸੌ ਜਰੀ, she killed her own husband, and burnt her self, this is the story that the mantris are going to tell the king.

Now the story will begin:

ਬਨਿਕ ਬਨਿਜ ਕੇ ਹਿਤ ਗਯੋ ਤਾ ਤੇ ਰਹਿਯੋ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

For his business (ਬਨਿਜ) the man (ਬਨਿਯਾ) went to a different country to engage in his business (Pardesh). However, when he left, ਤਾ ਤੇ ਰਹਿਯੋ ਨ ਜਾਇ, his wife could not control herself from cheating behind his back. So now this is an ‘opportunity’ for her to take advantage of the time to cheat

ਏਕ ਪੁਰਖ ਰਾਖਤ ਭਈ ਅਪੁਨੇ ਧਾਮ ਬੁਲਾਇ ॥੩॥

She calls the guy into her house.

ਰੈਨਿ ਦਿਵਸ ਤਾ ਸੌ ਰਮੈ ਜਬ ਸੁਤ ਭੂਖੋ ਹੋਇ ॥

ਰੈਨਿ = night, ਦਿਵਸ = day, so, day and night she spends her time making love (ਰਮੈ) with her boyfriend. But, she also has a child who is less than a year old.
