Rh grim, fatal night, returned to his dwelling in Prasâdpur bazar. Mâdhabi Nâth was awaiting him there. Mâdhabi Nâth's person being well known to Gobind Lâl, he could not approach him. Nishâkar now told Mâdhabi Nâth all he had done. "That has not been well managed," was Mâdhabi Nâth's comment. "It will surely result in murder." To learn what consequences did ensue, the two men remained in the bazar, carefully disguised, and observing great caution. In the early morning they learned that Chuni Lâl Datt, having slain his wife, had fled. They were greatly alarmed and distressed. Their fear was for Gobind Lâl, but at length they saw that the dârogâ could do nothing, as he had no clue to Gobind Lâl's whereabouts. Thus, somewhat reassured, they returned to their homes greatly depressed in mind.
