ਰਾਨੀ ਬਨ ਮੈ ਸਦਨ ਸਵਾਰਿਯੋ ॥

raanee ban mai sadan savaariyo |

ਛਾਤ ਬੀਚ ਰੌਜਨ ਇਕ ਧਾਰਿਯੋ ॥

chhaat beech rauajan ik dhaariyo |

Rani built a mansion in the jungle and constructed an alcove in there,

ਜਾ ਕੇ ਬਿਖੇ ਮਨੁਖ ਛਪਿ ਰਹੈ ॥

jaa ke bikhe manukh chhap rahai |

ਜੋ ਚਾਹੈ ਚਿਤ ਮੈ ਸੋ ਕਹੈ ॥੫੭॥

jo chaahai chit mai so kahai |57|

Behind which a man could hide and where he could do whatever he liked.(57)

ਬੈਠੇ ਤਰੇ ਨਜਰਿ ਨਹਿ ਆਵੈ ॥

baitthe tare najar neh aavai |

ਬਾਨੀ ਨਭ ਹੀ ਕੀ ਲਖਿ ਜਾਵੈ ॥

baanee nabh hee kee lakh jaavai |

The person sitting beneath could not see him and his voice would seem as an articulation from heaven.

ਰਾਨੀ ਤਹਾ ਪੁਰਖ ਬੈਠਾਯੋ ॥

raanee tahaa purakh baitthaayo |

ਅਮਿਤ ਦਰਬੁ ਦੈ ਤਾਹਿ ਸਿਖਾਯੋ ॥੫੮॥

amit darab dai taeh sikhaayo |58|

Rani asked a man to sit in there, and, with the incentive of lot of wealth, she trained him.(58)
