According to Niddar's book, she was a virgin widow. Her husband had died before the "Muklawa" was sent.
Now, it makes sense why Maharaaj was sympathetic to her (gave her money at the end), even though she played a heinous Charitar.
Bhul chuk maaf
Seems like the whole panth is quiet about this book. Good on you pappiguy reading it. Please tell us more about the book. Topics on the various charitters

My review of nidar singhs book
Pakhyaan charitter was written by Guru Gobind Singh, it is very controversial in Sikh groups. Many revisionist Sikhs/Sikhs of cult of personalities like to refute the association of "Pakhyaan Charitter" with Guru Gobind Singh due to some of explicit tales...this is very pathetic! as sikhi & the truth should not fall down to your personal ideal perception of what it sikhi should be...
Regarding the book:
the book gives background information regarding who Nidar Singh Nihang is, what he represents IE the 9th Gurdev(teacher) of the Baba Darbara Singh Shastar vidiya akhara.The preface and introduction is filled with vast amounts of wisdom. It gives a lot of background information that the reader would not usually know. The footnotes were amazing, you must read the footnote along with the charitter to fully understand, as there may be words you might not be familiar with.
Nidar Singh gives detail about Dasam Granth. He also mentions all past attempts at translating this text and the names of authors & year they published their works. However it must be noted all past attempts had failures, for example
Pritpal Singh's 2002 translation. Pritpal Singh did not believe Pakhyaan Charitter was written by guru gobind singhji, so in this manner, pritpal Singh did not do justice to the translation as his own bias came into play & made his work flawed.Nidar Singh also mentions key points regarding the stories, how names and details appear only at the end, or during the middle of the story. He writes the names of characters at the beginning of each charitter and makes it much easier to read/ understand.
The book covers all aspects of sikhi, it's history, the way Sikhs of those times perceived themselves, philosophy, spirituality and much more. It would be a tragic loss if readers did not take up the opportunity to read the charitters in their true context and understand the true reason why the 10th guru penned this work.
The charitters are very well written, I found it very addictive, wanting to read on and on!
There are many beautiful images, I think one image for every charitter, the paintings are of very high quality. Attention to detail & painted in the style/clothing of the times it was first penned.Nidar Singh Nihang gives great analysis into the charitters and makes some very crucial valid points. After reading the first volume I am somewhat puzzled...the charitters have come to life in my mind and in the reality of the times we live in "kaljug", with each story I can honestly say this kind of deception/deceptive tactics exist in 2018, I will argue even more than when it was written. Only because technology has evolved and we have a lot more ways to hide things we dont want others finding out. I am certain many of us can relate to these charitters.
Nidar Singh Nihang should be commended for this first volume. It is truly ground-breaking work. It is very obvious a lot of time & research went into this.Lastly, I will share a relevant extract . "For some living a lie is a better option than facing life crushing truth. In fact, most people, especially the overtly religious, prefer to live a life of self-delusion."

According to Niddar, the name of the wise minister is Tretiya. Daas has no idea on how he got that.
Bhul chuk maaf
"This is particularly the case with one of the chief characters of the tales, the minister who is relating them; his name Tretiya only appears once in charitter 54 in verse two189."

The amazing thing with the app is you can search for a word.type Tretiya,"and you will find your answer near the start Ji.

How are you finding the book

ਪਰੋ ਸਦਾ ਮੋਰੇ ਰਹੈ ਲਹੈ ਨ ਭੇਵ ਅਧੇਰ ॥੮॥
This line can be translated as "This person (Sada Nand) used to stay at my place (Guru saab's place), but he was not aware of the extra-marital activities of his wife".
Bhul chuk maaf
Thoughts so far? If you are on charitters four then you read the introduction etc?

The most wondrous tale of deception of all, relating the endeavour of the humble dust-like human spirit seeking to attain onto Mahakal/Brahm, is found in the final charitter 405. Upon its conclusion, the Guru pens the most beautiful of prayers to which justice cannot be done in any translation. Penned, it is said in the thick of battle by the Guru on making an arrow tip his quill and his own blood the ink, it has the most magical of effects upon one’s mind, heart and soul. It is a decidedly heartfelt and exquisite plea to the supreme deity Brahm/Mahakal to protect the Guru and his Sikhs from their evil enemies who sought their very annihilation. This supplication, the Benti Chaupai, encapsulates the very spiritual essence of sikhi; the absolute unstinting belief in nirguna transcendental Brahm. If any Sikh has doubts with regards to Pakhyaan Charitter, let them, on considering the exquisite nature of this final prayer, reflect how the rest of the work can be so poor if its ending is as such. Beautiful as the Benti Chaupai is, so is the poetry of the rest of the Pakhyaan Charitter. On concluding this prayer Guru Gobind Singh lays out the benefits of listening to and reflecting upon the Pakhyaan Charitter:"
