Chuchak agrees to engage Ranjha and commands Heer to turn over his herds to him. At the same time he admoinishes Ranjha, reminding him to stay vigilant and maintain tight control over the herd, which tends to wander. Observing that Ranjha is new at herding, Chuchak cautions him against getting engrossed in play, indirectly reiterating his suspicions about Ranjha’s amorous intentions towards Heer, for neglecting the herd and letting it run wild would invite serious consequences.
