Meaning
That, that one, him, her (archaic oblique demonstrative pronoun).
Detailed Meaning
'Tis' is an archaic oblique demonstrative and correlative pronoun equivalent to modern Hindustani 'us' (उस), rooted in Braj Bhasha and Old Hindustani. In this couplet, it pairs with 'jis' in the correlative construction 'jis se... tis se' (the one from whom... from that very one), identifying the beloved or rival who provokes both suspicion and chaos. Its occurrence lends a classical Rekhta texture to the verse.
Etymology
Sanskrit 'तस्य' (tasya) through Prakrit into Old Hindi / Braj Bhasha.
Usage
Widely employed in early Rekhta poetry and idioms, typically in correlative pair with 'jis'.
