According to advice of Shah Latif the only way for Leela is to plead. The beloved does not
believe in pride and false beauty of ornaments. He can be conquered only by humility. That
woman who totally surrenders and pleads with her beloved is able to win his love. If she acts
smart she has to face the ignominy of being discarded. Therefore he says:
What you thought to be an ornament proved the thread of pain,
Chanesar discarded you and was won by a servant,
Result of scheming is naught before beloved! (Shah Latif)
Leela repents and says:
I am prepared to forsake ornament; I would throw it away,
If I get back my beloved I would feel honored indeed!
Those who clean their inner self with tears of repentance at last are able to win over their
beloved.
Thus many years passed and Chanesar did not even remember Leela. Accidently the minister
of Chanesar named Jakhro got engaged to a girl belonging to same village as Leela. When
villagers came to know of this they refused to marry their daughter to Jakhro. Actually Jakhro
was in love with that girl so he was anxious to get that girl. He went to Leela and requested her
to help him. She promised to help on the condition that at least once he would bring his King
Chanesar to her. Jakhro went back to his city Devalkot and some how persuaded him to attend
his marriage.
“King your presence in my wedding will
Lend me an honor and prestige,
Your grandeur will help, else my humiliation,
Come and save my prestige,
As we have in laws from the same village.”
When the marriage procession reached the out skirts of the village, many ladies with their faces
covered came dancing to welcome the marriage party. This welcome pleased Chanesar. He
told the main singer,” Your voice is so sweet, your face should also be equally beautiful. I
command you to remove your veil”. When veil was removed he was stunned to see her beauty
and swooned. After all the old flame of love which lay dormant was rekindled. Seeing this Leela
also copiously wept and swooned.
Thus they both went into a sort of coma from which they never recovered again. This way both
were immortalized in their love for ever.
