Which was extremely admired by his confidants.(27)
Proceeding as such, a period of twelve years had lapsed.
And undiminishable amount of wealth was amassed.(28)
The King was seated on the throne majestically.
When he (the Minister) walked in and the King of seven continents asked,(29)
‘Bring and present to me the papers,
‘Which enumerate what I had endowed to my four sons.‘(30)
The recording scribe picked up the pen,
And to reply, (he) raised his flag.(31)
(The Raja asked,) ‘I had bequeathed them thousands (of rupees),
‘Examine the deed and open your tongue (to speak).(32)
‘Read from the paper and narrate,
‘How much I had given to each of them.‘(33)
When he (the scribe) heard the command of the King,
Who had earned the praises and the status same as the gods.(34)
(King stressed,) ‘Present to me, whatever beneficence I had endowed to,
‘You, the lights of the world and stars of Yaman.‘(35)
The first son replied, ‘Most of the elephants were killed in the wars,
‘And the ones which were saved, I gave them out in charity like you do.‘(36)
He asked the second son, ‘What have you done with the horses?‘
(He replied), ‘I have given out some in charity and rest faced the death.‘(37)
(He) asked the third one to show him his camels.
‘To whom have you denoted them?‘(38)
He replied, ‘A number of them died in the wars,
‘And the remaining I gave in charity.‘(39)
Then (he) asked the fourth one, ‘Oh, you the gentle one,‘
‘You, the one deserving royal canopy and the throne,(40)
‘Where is the gift, which I granted you;
‘One seed of moong and the half that of gram?‘(41)
(He replied,) ‘If your command permits, I may present you,
‘All the elephants, horses and many a camels.‘(42)
He brought forward ten hundred thousand stupefied elephants,
Which were adorned with gold and silver trappings.(43)
He presented ten to twelve thousand horses,
Adorned with numerous gilded saddles.(44)
He brought along steel helmets and armours,
And also gilded animal-blankets, arrows, and expensive swords,(45)
The camels from Baghdad, which were laden with ornamented clothes,
Plenty of gold, great number of clothes,(46)
Ten neelams (precious stones), and many Dinars (coins),
By looking at them even eyes shuddered.(47)
Through one seed of moong, he raised a city,
Which was given the name of Moongi-patam.(48)
With the other, half of gram-seed, he raised another one,
And associating with his name, it was called Delhi.(49)
The King approved this innovation and honoured him,
From then on gave him the name as Raja Daleep.(50)
