Made him worthy of the throne.(51)
Such a man deserved gilded canopy, royal stamp and coinage,
And thousands of honours were sacrificed on to him.(52)
The (other) three were fools and possessed tarnished minds.
Their language was rustic and their gait was detestable.(53)
He (King) displayed his desire, as he (son) was to be given the kingdom,
He would disclose all his wealth to him (son),(54)
And he would be a suitable person to sit on the throne,
On account of his high intellect.(55)
Then, he (the fourth prince) attained the title of Raja Daleep,
As the King had endowed him the kingdom.(56)
The other three were banished from the territory,
Because neither they were intelligent nor devoid of bad traits.(57)
He (Daleep) was enthroned on the royal seat,
And the door of the treasure was opened for him by the key.(58)
(The King) endowed the kingdom to him, and, himself, became a freeman,
Adoring the ascetic’s garb, he took his way to the jungle (seclusion).(59)
(The poet says),
‘Oh Saki, the bartender, give me the cup full of green (liquid),
‘Which I may need at the time of struggle,(60)
‘And give me this so that at the time of assessment,
‘I may commence the use of my sword.(61)(2)
And opened the old treasure with the key. 62.
(King Mandhata) abdicated and became free from bondage.
He took the lap (of the monks) and went to the forest. 63.
O Saki (Lord!) grant me a cup of green (bhava-harinam) (liquor)
Which will be useful to me during the war. 64.
Grant me (this) gift that I may test my parts
And I can use my sword. 65.2.
The Lord is One and the Victory is of the True Guru.
God is the endower of all wisdom and justice.
(He) bestows bliss, living and ingenuity.(1)
(He) is benevolent and helper,
(He) disintegrates the bondage, and guides our thought.(2)
Listen now, the Tale of a kind man,
Who trampled the enemies in the dust.(3)
He, the King of China, was very shrewd and openhearted.
He elevated the poor but looked down upon the egoists.(4)
He was adept in the war and in all the (court) managements.
In swordsmanship, he was very swift in the movements of his hands.(5)
His masterly sword and gun actions were much proficient.
He was second to none in eating and drinking and, both, in his fighting feats and court manners, You would think, ‘Could there be any one like him?’(6)
He was so much proficient in throwing the arrows and shooting the gun,
That you would reflect, he was trained in his mother’s abdomen.(7)
He had abundance of wealth.
He ruled over many counties through Karim, the Bountiful.(8)
(Abruptly) his kingdom was terminated.
And all his Ministers came and positioned themselves around him.(9)
