As they had pondered to get married with her and take her away.(7)
Chaupaee
All the kings became very angry
All the princes flew into rage on her decision and put their hands on their arms,
Being angry, he started saying words from his mouth
And declared that, without fight, they would not let her go.(8)
The king called the Brahmins
The Raja called the priest over and invited Subhat Singh.
(Said to him-) Please me
He requested, ‘Be benevolent to me and get married to my daughter as per the Vedic rites.’(9)
Dohira
Subhat Singh, ‘I already possess a woman whom I consider as my wife.
‘Therefore, even insisted upon, I will not marry second time.’(10)
Chaupaee
Brahmins said to the king like this
The priest told the Raja, ‘Subhat Singh does not want to marry her.
So O Lord! Make an effort
‘Carryon your efforts and get this princess married to some one else.’(11)
Dohira
Then the princess told her father,
‘Whosoever wins in the war, shall marry me.’(12)
Chaupaee
All the kings were told by the king (Kannaya's father) saying like this
Then the Raja informed all of them and, himself, commenced preparations for the war.
Whosoever shall wage war here,
He announced, ‘Whosoever wins the war, will marry my daughter.’(13)
Dohira
Hearing this pronouncement the princes were pleased,
They thought that the one who won, would marry the girl.(14)
Chaupaee
All prepared for war
They all got ready for fight and came to the Banks of Ganga, They all looked magnificent with armours on,
All the warriors were being decorated by wearing armor
And sitting on the horse-backs, they made them to dance.(15)
The elephants roared and the horses neighed
The elephants roared, horses neighed and the brave ones came out dressed in armours.
Someone pulled a sword in his hand
Some took out swords; they wore clothes in saffron colours.(l6)
Dohira
Some put red clothes on and girded the swords around their waists.
They declared, ‘The one who fights at the Bank of Gangs will go to the heaven.’(17)
Some Rajas along with their armies marched forward with the beats of the drums.
Most of them came to fight with great ambitions in their minds.(l8)
Chaupaee
Then (that) Raj Kumari called all the Sakhis
Then the Princess called all her friends and showered praises on them,
Either I will fight and die on the banks of the Ganges,
And said, ‘Either I will marry Subhat Singh or I will lay life fighting on the Bank of Ganga.’(19)
