Ranjha enters the woods with Chuchak’s herd on a hot day and encounters five saints, who bless him by saying that he will feast on fine food and will drink rich milk. When they tell him that he should not be gloomy, Ranjha boldly petitions them, asking them to bequeath a beautiful lass upon him. The five saints respond by declaring that Heer is his divinel ordained companion and direct him to petition them in times of trouble.
