In that place of (of Sanaudhi Brahmin) went the warrior Ajai Singh in great rage,
Who wanted to kill Asumedh in a fierce war.14.285.
Both the brothers were frightened on seeing the son of the maid-servant.
They took shelter of the Brahmin and said:
“Save our life, thou shalt receive the gift of cows and gold from the lord
“O Guru, we are in thy shelter, we are in thy shelter, we are in thy sgelter.”15.286.
CHAUPAI
The king (Ajai Singh) sent his messengers (to king Tilak) and (Sanaudhi Brahmin).
Who satisfied all the incoming Brahmin.
(These messengers saidJ “Asumedh and Asumedhan,
“Have run and hid themselves in thy home.1.287.
“O Brahmin, either bind and deliver them to us
“O thou shalt be considered like them
“Thou shalt neither be worshipped nor any gift be given to thee
“Thou shalt then be given various types of sufferings.2.288.
“Why hast thou hugged these two dead ones to thy bosom?
“Give them back to us Why art thou hesitating?
“If thou dost not return both of them to me,
“Then we shall not be thy disciples.”3.289.
Then the Sanaudhi Brahmin got up early in the morning and took bath.
He worshipped in various ways the gods and manes.
Then he put the frontal marks of sandal and saffron on his forehead.
After that he walked upto his court.4.290.
The Brahmin said:
“Neither have I seen both of them,
“Nor have they taken shelter.
“Whosoever has given thee news about them, he hath told a lie,
“O Emperor, the king of kings.1.291.
“O Emperor, the king of kings,
“O the hero of all the universe and Master of the earth
“While sitting here, I am giving blessings to thee,
“Thou , O monarch, art the Lord of the kings.”2.292.
The king said:
“If thou art thy own well-wisher,
“Bind both of them and give them immediately to me
“I shall make all of them the food of fire,
“And worship thee as my father.”3.293.
“If they have not run and concealed themselves in thy house,
“Then thou obeyest me today
“I shall prepare very tasteful food for thee,
“Which they, thou and me, all shall eat together.”4.294.
Hearing these words of the king, all the Brahmins went to their homes,
And asked their brothers, sons and elders:
“If they are bound and given, then we lose our Dharma,
“If we eat their food, then we pollute our Karmas.”5.295.
“This son of the maid-servant is a mighty warriors,
“Who hath conquered and mashed the Kshatriya forces.
“He hath acquired his kingdom with his own might,
