ਡਾਰਿ ਜੰਜੀਰ ਲਏ ਤਿਨ ਪਾਇਨ ਪੈ ਫਿਰਿ ਕੈ ਮਥੁਰਾ ਮਹਿ ਆਯੋ ॥

ddaar janjeer le tin paaein pai fir kai mathuraa meh aayo |

ਸੋ ਸੁਨਿ ਕੈ ਸਭ ਲੋਗ ਕਥਾ ਅਤਿ ਨਾਮ ਬੁਰੋ ਜਗ ਮੈ ਨਿਕਰਾਯੋ ॥

so sun kai sabh log kathaa at naam buro jag mai nikaraayo |

Putting chains in their feet Kansa brought them back to Mathura and when the people came to know about it, they greatly talked ill of Kansa

ਆਨਿ ਰਖੈ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਆਪਨ ਮੈ ਰਖਵਾਰੀ ਕੋ ਸੇਵਕ ਲੋਗ ਬੈਠਾਯੋ ॥

aan rakhai grih aapan mai rakhavaaree ko sevak log baitthaayo |

ਆਨਿ ਬਡੇਨ ਕੀ ਛਾਡਿ ਦਈ ਕੁਲ ਭੀਤਰ ਆਪਨੋ ਰਾਹ ਚਲਾਯੋ ॥੪੩॥

aan badden kee chhaadd dee kul bheetar aapano raah chalaayo |43|

Kansa dept them imprisoned in his own house and forsaking the traditions of his elders, he engaged servants to keep a watch over them and bound them to submit to his orders, remaining fully under his control.43.
