Guru Sahib Ji has curated an overlay of stories here, of the King Chittar Singh in a predicament over what to do with his son. So, his advisors (ਮੰਤ੍ਰੀ) give him advise in an indirect way through stories ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ and like before, we will continue to explore that.

ਦੋਹਰਾ ॥

ਬੰਦਿਸਾਲ ਕੋ ਭੂਪ ਤਬ ਨਿਜੁ ਸੁਤ ਦਿਯੋ ਪਠਾਇ ॥

Every night after the king hears the stories the advisors tell him, he sends his son back into the ਬੰਦਿਸਾਲ (jail cell).

ਭੋਰ ਹੋਤ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੀ ਸਹਿਤ ਬਹੁਰੋ ਲਿਯੌ ਬੁਲਾਇ ॥੧॥

ਭੋਰ = sunrise, when the sunrises, he asks the guards to bring his son back into his court to come to a decision, when the son comes back and the king has the night to think about it, the ਮੰਤ੍ਰਿਆਂ can see the ਰਾਜਾ is not ready to make a decision, so they present a new story.

ਪੁਨਿ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੀ ਐਸੇ ਕਹੀ ਏਕ ਤ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਕੀ ਬਾਤ ॥

Now the ਮੰਤ੍ਰੀਆਂ are going to present a story about a lady.

ਸੋ ਸੁਨਿ ਨ੍ਰਿਪ ਰੀਝਤ ਭਯੋ ਕਹੋ ਕਹੋ ਮੁਹਿ ਤਾਤ ॥੨॥

ਤਾਤ = son, ਰੀਝਤ = happy, ਨ੍ਰਿਪ = king. When the King, hears they they are going to tell another story, he got happy, as he is looking forward to it, just like when someone understands the ਸਿੱਖਿਆ of Guru Sahib, they look forward to hearing their ਉਪਦੇਸ਼. Why is he enjoying these stories? Because they are taking away his doubts, his duality, and his pain, in this same way each ਚਰਿੱਤ੍ਰ is meant to take away our doubts and pains away.

ਏਕ ਬਧੂ ਥੀ ਜਾਟ ਕੀ ਦੂਜੇ ਬਰੀ ਗਵਾਰ ॥

This story is going to be the story of a ਬਧੂ (daughter) of a ਜਾਟ (farmer), who got married into a house where the husband was a ਗਵਾਰ (ਮੂਰਖ).

ਖੇਲਿ ਅਖੇਟਕ ਨ੍ਰਿਪਤਿ ਇਕ ਆਨਿ ਭਯੋ ਤਿਹ ਯਾਰ ॥੩॥

When someone gets marries a ਗਵਾਰ, they become unhappy. So, the girl cheated on him. One day, a king would come to that area and do ਸ਼ਿਕਾਰ (hunting), ਅਖੇਟਕ means ਸ਼ਿਕਾਰ. This King would see her, they would talk and become ਯਾਰ (friends).
