तापस नृप निज सखहि निहारी । हरषि मिलेउ उठि भयउ सुखारी ॥
मित्रहि कहि सब कथा सुनाई । जातुधान बोला सुख पाई ॥
tāpasa nṛpa nija sakhahi nihārī | haraṣi mileu uṭhi bhayau sukhārī ||
mitrahi kahi saba kathā sunāī | jātudhāna bolā sukha pāī ||

Chapter 171: The purohita is carried away

What happens in this chapter
The purohita is carried away
Seeing his friend, the ascetic-king rose gladly and embraced him, and told him the whole story. The rakshasa, pleased, said: listen, king, now that you have done as I advised, I have the enemy in hand. Stop worrying and sleep; fate has cured the disease without medicine. I will wash away the enemy, root and branch, with his whole line, and meet you on the fourth day. Having reassured the ascetic-king, the great deceiver set off, burning with anger. In a moment he carried Pratapbhanu with his horse to the palace, laid the king to sleep beside his queen, and tied the horse in the stable. Then he carried off the king's purohita and, having confused his mind by maya, kept him in a mountain cave.
अब साधेउँ रिपु सुनहु नरेसा । जौँ तुम्ह कीन्ह मोर उपदेसा ॥
परिहरि सोच रहहु तुम्ह सोई । बिनु औषध बिआधि बिधि खोई ॥
aba sādheum̐ ripu sunahu naresā | jaum̐ tumha kīnha mora upadesā ||
parihari soca rahahu tumha soī | binu auṣadha biādhi bidhi khoī ||
कुल समेत रिपु-मूल बहाई । चौथे दिवस मिलब मैँ आई ॥
तापस-नृपहि बहुत परितोषी । चला महा कपटी अति रोषी ॥
kula sameta ripu-mūla bahāī | cauthe divasa milaba maim̐ āī ||
tāpasa-nṛpahi bahuta paritoṣī | calā mahā kapaṭī ati roṣī ||
भानुप्रतापहि बाजि समेता । पहुँचाएसि छन माँझ निकेता ॥
नृपहि नारि पहिँ सयन कराई । हय-गृह बाँधेसि बाजि बनाई ॥
bhānupratāpahi bāji sametā | pahum̐cāesi chana mām̐jha niketā ||
nṛpahi nāri pahim̐ sayana karāī | haya-gṛha bām̐dhesi bāji banāī ||
राजा के उपरोहितहि, हरि लेइ गयउ बहोरि ।
लेइ राखेसि गिरि खोह महँ, मायाँ करि मति भोरि ॥
rājā ke uparohitahi, hari lei gayau bahori |
lei rākhesi giri khoha maham̐, māyām̐ kari mati bhori ||
