Doha 158
फिरत बिपिन आश्रम एक देखा। तहँ बस नृपति कपट मुनिबेषा॥ जासु देस नृप लीन्ह छड़ाई। समर सेन तजि गयउ पराई॥१॥
समय प्रतापभानु कर जानी। आपन अति असमय अनुमानी॥ गयउ न गृह मन बहुत गलानी। मिला न राजहि नृप अभिमानी॥२॥
रिस उर मारि रंक जिमि राजा। बिपिन बसइ तापस कें साजा॥ तासु समीप गवन नृप कीन्हा। यह प्रतापरबि तेहिं तब चीन्हा॥३॥
राउ तृषित नहिं सो पहिचाना। देखि सुबेष महामुनि जाना॥ उतरि तुरग तें कीन्ह प्रनामा। परम चतुर न कहेउ निज नामा॥४॥
Meaning
While wandering in the forest he espied a hermitage. In that hermitage dwelt, in the disguise of a hermit, a monarch who had been despoiled of his kingdom by Pratāpabhānu and who had run away from the field of battle deserting his army. (1) Knowing that the time was propitious for Pratāpabhānu and most unfavourable to his own self, he felt much disgusted at heart and refused to return home; and he was too proud to come to terms with the victor. (2) Like a pauper, suppressing the anger in his own heart, the ex-king lived in the forest in the disguise of an anchorite. It was to him that king Pratāpabhānu went and he for his part immediately recognized that the newcomer was no other than Prātapabhānu. (3) Overcome by thirst, the latter, however, could not recognize the ex-king. Perceiving his holy garb Pratāpabhānu took him to be a great sage and, getting down from his horse, made obeisance to him. The king was, however, too astute to disclose his name. (4)
भूपति तृषित बिलोकि तेहिं सरबरु दीन्ह देखाइ। मज्जन पान समेत हय कीन्ह नृपति हरषाइ॥१५८॥
Meaning
Seeing king Pratāpabhānu thirsty, he showed him a good lake and the king, alongwith his horse, gladly bathed in it and drank from it. (158)
