Realizing that Ranjha, who hails from a proud and affluent clan, is not likely to take to servitude well, Heer tries to reassure him. Fearing that the village lads will mock him for being a servant and taunt him saying that he would have to subsit on nothing other than a small bowl of milk, Heer assures him that he will be fed delicacies such as butter, sugar and fried parathas, which are the food of honored guests or pampered sons-in-law. She asks Ranjha to put his faith in God and reminds him that his real purpose for being in Chuchak’s service is to be near her and that he should not worry too much about tending to the herd.
