ਬਚਨ ਸੁਨਤ ਬਨਿਯੋ ਘਰ ਆਯੋ ॥

bachan sunat baniyo ghar aayo |

ਤਾ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਸੋ ਯੌ ਬਚਨ ਸੁਨਾਯੋ ॥

taa triy so yau bachan sunaayo |

Learning the fact, the shopkeeper came home and asked his wife thus,

ਜੋ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਕੋਨਾ ਖੋਦਿ ਦਿਖੈ ਹੈ ॥

jo grih konaa khod dikhai hai |

ਤਬ ਤੋ ਕੌ ਪਤਿ ਧਾਮ ਬਸੈ ਹੈ ॥੧੨॥

tab to kau pat dhaam basai hai |12|

‘Dig that corner and show me, otherwise I will not live in this house.’(l2)
