In this Charitar there is no mention of the mantris speaking to the King, so far there has been 11 charitars, 10 stories that Guru Gobind Singh Ji has presented us with from the mouth of the Mantris to the Raja, but now in this 11th tale, Mahraaj is sharing what a ਜੀਵ ਰੂਪ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ is meant to do, as in Gurmat it revolves around the ਜੀਵ ਰੂਪ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ marrying Patti Parmeshwar Vaheguru ji - the Sohagan (soul bride).

Whilst reading, keep in mind the concept of Raadhika and Krishna in gurmat philosophy. Raadhika is seen as the ਜੀਵ ਰੂਪ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ, a Jagyaasu (ਜਗਿਆਸੂ), seeking Parmaatma, and Krishan Ji is the illustration of Vaheguru ji, how Raadhika sends her love for Krishan is the love a Jagyaasu (a seeker) has for Vaheguru Ji.

ਦੋਹਰਾ ॥

ਬਿੰਦਾਬਨ ਬ੍ਰਿਖਭਾਨ ਕੀ ਸੁਤਾ ਰਾਧਿਕਾ ਨਾਮ ॥

Guru Sahib Ji starts off with a ਦੋਹਰਾ, where they tell us the location which is Bindraban (ਬਿੰਦਾਬਨ). This is a city in India, where this story is based on a lady called ਰਾਧਿਕਾ (Radhika). She is the daughter of somebody called ਬ੍ਰਿਖਭਾਨ (Brikhbaan).

ਹਰਿ ਸੋ ਕਿਯਾ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਤਿਹ ਦਿਨ ਕਹ ਦੇਖਤ ਬਾਮ ॥੧॥

She has played a ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ on ਹਰਿ (ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ), which in this case is in reference to Krishan Ji. From that very day upon seeing him, she began to play this ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਇਨ ਹੀ mind.

ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਰੂਪਿ ਲਖਿ ਬਸਿ ਭਈ ਨਿਸੁ ਦਿਨ ਹੇਰਤ ਤਾਹਿ ॥

When she saw Krishan Ji for the first time, ਨਿਸੁ ਦਿਨ ਹੇਰਤ ਤਾਹਿ, she craved to see him night (ਨਿਸੁ) and day (ਦਿਨ).
