ਰਾਜਾ ਬਾਚ ॥

raajaa baach |

The speech of the king:

ਪਾਧੜੀ ਛੰਦ ॥

paadharree chhand |

PADDHRAI STANZA

ਤਬ ਚਹੀ ਭੂਪ ਹਉਾਂ ਜਰੋਂ ਆਜ ॥

tab chahee bhoop hauaan jaron aaj |

ਕੈ ਅਤਿਥਿ ਹੋਊਾਂ ਤਜ ਰਾਜ ਸਾਜ ॥

kai atith hoaooaan taj raaj saaj |

Then the king expressed this wish that either he would burn himself that day or forsaking his kingdom, he would go to the forest,

ਕੈ ਗ੍ਰਹਿ ਜੈ ਕੈ ਕਰਹੋਂ ਉਚਾਰ ॥

kai greh jai kai karahon uchaar |

ਮੈ ਦਿਜ ਆਯੋ ਨਿਜ ਕਰ ਸੰਘਾਰ ॥੩੬॥

mai dij aayo nij kar sanghaar |36|

‘What will I say at home? That I am coming back after killing the Brahmin with my own hand! 36.
