Take a byte of food
Govinda Gopala
Yashodamai is feeding
Krishna is eating
Take food of wheat, Oh lord of three worlds
From Vidur , this first byte 1
Rice flecks handful. Lord of the sea
Friend of Sudama, this second byte. 2
The plate with one leaf. Take it world leader.
Of Draupadimai. Here comes the third byte. 3
Of the remains of tested fruits. Oh the gardner
Take the fourth byte Of Shabari Bhillini. 4
Sacrifice the remaining byte
From face of Govindagraja. 5
Um, yes, it is over now, why? Your struggling started again? Cousin, take care of this gem of yours! Your all people are naughty! No, wait. Gitabai, please take the baby and put to sleep in the cradle! (Gita comes.) Yes, See the baby started laughing as soon as it saw Gitabai! He liks to wander here and there with Gitabai! (Gita takes the child.) Cousin, I called the brother(Ramlal) two or three times since morning. He is saying coming coming Then why he doesn’t come yet? Cousin, I am dreaming something odd in this.
Sharad: Vahini, You are getting worried unnecessarily, You keep imagining any things that come to your mind By doing this you will not be able to digest the food eaten also.
(राग: भीमपलास, ताल- त्रिवट. चाल- रे बलमा बलमा.)
छळिती या हृदया
अदया।
भ्रांत मनोरचना कालगुणा॥ ध्रु.॥
मातृजीवना झिजवुनि
जगती।
अंती घेती तयासह त्या निधना॥ 1॥
(Raga: Bhimpalas, Taal-Trivat. Chaal-Re Balma Balma.)
The imaginary builtup themes of mind
Give trouble as time lapses
Causing harm to life of mothers
Get vanished with them at last
Sindhu: Say anything, Tell anything. My mind seems to have run out of patience. Since the day I got his brother's telegram, I am shocked and worried .
(राग- काफी- जिल्हा, ताल- त्रिवट. चाल- इतना संदेश वा.)
दहती बहू मना नाना कुशंका॥ ध्रु.॥
विपदा विकट घोर।
निकटी विलोकी।
मन कंप घेत। गणिते ना विवेका॥ 1॥
(Raga- Kafi- District, Tal- Trivat. Chaal- Itna Sandesh Va.)
Many bad thoughts are burning my heart
Disaster is terrible. Nearly beyond world
bounds
Mind is trembling without any count 1
Sharad: But is there anything happened to worry like this? Do you want to increase tension by mere logic? Everything is as where it was, so why worry so much?
Sindhu: Cousin, The disasters do not come at predetermined times like the moon and the sun. If good has to occur we have to pray and do efforts, but bad is known after it has occured. The fruit gets colored when ripe but bad smell starts spreading when it gets rotten and dirty. Listening others such stories hurts the mind!
(राग: खमाज जिल्हा; ताल- पंजाबी; चाल- मै तोसे नाही बोलोरे)
शंकाही नाही काली

दुर्गती जवे ये तदा॥ ध्रु.॥
धूर्त कपटी अरी।
जैसा रण करी।
तेवि विधा ही सदा॥ 1॥
(Raga: Khamaj Jilla; Tal- Punjabi; Chaal- Main Tose Nahi Bolore)
Even without having any doubt
when bad things start happening
Clever and Cunning enemy
the way he fights
Similar is the mode always
Sharad: Mind thinks that enemy also cannot think, that is what is going on with you! Cousin, look, Bhaisaheb (Ramlal) has come! (Ramlal comes.) Bhai Saheb, look at how cousin is crying continuously! Please consol her mind by telling few stories!
Ramlal: (In mind) With what kind of mouth should I tell Sindhu what I saw last night? No matter how much you try to avoid it, this deathlike event is inevitable!
Sindhu: Brother, Did you not get news? Nothing to fear, isn’t it? Why are you standing with such silence? What happened Tell me soon!
Ramlal: Sister, don't be in such a hurry. Kids play a game of chain. Have you seen it As the game progresses, the child will not be able to fasten their chain by adding a child. So is with this life. As the life grows, so does the problem, and the mind becomes obsessed with responsibility, and at such time man has to walk slowly in every respect, leaving the restlessness of childhood.
Sindhu: Brother, why did you start talking like that? Please tel me immediately, whats written in my destiny .....
Ramlal: Sindhutai, if we know today what will happen tomorrow, the world will be dull. Therefore, the almighty has written the fate of the animal on the forehead which is invisible to the eyes. Maheshwar, who wants to destroy the whole universe with the power of Rudrashakti, should be able to read the future on his forehead, so there is third eye on his forehead. This future seeing Third Eye is not the forehead of us mortals!

(Raga: Khamaj; Taal-Punjabi; Chaal-Piya Tori.)

plans made by the God

Sindhu: Brother, my life has come on the brink of loosing! Let me hear before dying what you want to say!
(राग- जिल्हा-पिलू; ताल- कवाली. चाल- कनैया खेले होरी.)
करि दया सांग वेगे।
खसा ही पदी लागे॥ ध्रु.॥
क्षण एक अंती।
विलंबी फुका जाता।
दुर्बल हृदय हे भंगे॥ 1॥
(Raga- Jilla-Pilu; Taal- Kavali. Chaal- Kanaiya Khele Hori.)
Please be kind.
and tell immediately
my life is at stake
If the moment is lost in delay
My weak heart will break
Ramlal: Tai, what can I tell you? An addiction to your Sudhakar- a very terrible addiction- (In mind) Cruel destiny, what have forced me to say? With which mouth should I utter the word 'alcohol' in front of this auspicious deity? Addicted bad guys, do you have any idea what kind of danger you are putting your close friends in? Lord, why didn't you give me the task of piercing his heart with a poisoned arrow, rather than pointing this poisonous drink words on her heart? (Openly) Sindhu, Sudhakar is addicted to alcohol!
Sindhu: God, what did I hear? (She starts fainting, Sharad Ramlal catches her.)
Ramlal: Tai, Sindhutai, get to senses!
Sindhu: Bhai, bhai- (Bhagirath enters hurriedly.)
Bhagirath: Brother, disaster has struck. Sudhakar went to the office after drinking alcohol, started talking whatever he wanted and judge cancelled his charter permanently.
Ramlal: Now you have to be ready for the future disaster. Tai, Sindhutai-
(Taliram brings Sudhakar.)
Sudhakar: What is this crying in the house? Who is crying because the charter is gone? She is a weak wife. Taliram, kick everybody and disperse this crowd. (Sits down.)
Ramlal: Sharad, Taliram, Bring, Sudhakar inside and put to sleep.
Sudhakar: It doesn't matter if the charter is gone. I am not impotent- this Ramlal is impotent- Sindhu is impotent- Sanad is impotent! (They take him inside.)
Ramlal: Tai, unfortunate girl! Let's go. Even your crying is lost from now on (taking her closer) Daughter, this is the will of God. (Taliram comes.) Taliram, go away from here. Beware if you step into this house again , Sindhutai come
(राग- ललत, ताल- त्रिवट. चाल- पिया पिया)
गमसि खरी हतभागिनी।
जीवनमंगलहेतु तव जरी।
स्वकरि लोटी तुज दुर्गतिदहनी॥ ध्रु.॥
रोदन
हेचि जगी हतभागा।
विश्रांतिसी चित्ताते जागा।
तीसह पति करि तव हृद्भंगा।
मंदभाग्य तू तुजसम भुवनी॥
Raga- lalat, tal- trivat. Chaal- piya piya)
You seem
really with bad fortune
Even if your intention was to have good life
He has pushed you in this bad destiny
Rest is possible only in death
Your husband has broken your heart
You are now bad destiny in the world
(Go.)
