Detailed explanation-4: -When Bishamber saw the pock-marks on Bholi’s face, he demanded five thousand rupees from Ramlal. Bholi’s father begged him not to demand dowry placing his turban at his feet. But Bishamber stuck to his demand. At last Ramlal agreed to give five thousand rupees to Bishamber.
Detailed explanation-5: -He demanded a sum of five thousand rupees. Ramlal begged for mercy and even placed his turban in Bishamber’s feet but Bishamber Nath did not agree.
