124 A ROYAL INDIAN GRANT 



He acted according to what is written in the Shaajlra, 

 (1,) and obliged the different fects to conform to their 

 proper tenets. He was blefled with a fon, Dhormo Paal, 

 when he became independent of his forefathers, who are 

 in heaven. 



His elephants moved like walking mountains ; and 

 the earth, op pre (Ted by their weight, and mouldered 

 into dull, found refuge in the peaceful heavens. 



He went to extirpate the wicked, and plant the good; 

 and happily his falvation was effe&ed at the fame time: 

 for his fen-ants vifited Kedaar, (2,) and drank milk ac- 

 cording to the law : and they offered up their vows 

 where the Ganges joins the Ocean, and at Gokornaa, 

 (3,) and other places, (4). 



When he had completed his conquers, he releafedall 

 the rebellious Princes he had made captive; and each 

 returning to his own country laden with prefents, re- 

 flected upon this generous deed, and longed to fee 

 him again; as mortals, remembering a pre-exiftence 3 

 wifh to return to the realms of light. 



This Prince took the hand of the daughter of Poroboly 

 Kaajaa of many countries, whofe name was Ronnaa 

 Dtbee ; and he became fettled. 



The people, being amazed at her beauty, formed dif- 

 ferent opinions of her. Some faid it was Locket (5) her- 

 j'elf in her fhape; others, that the earth had affumed her 

 form: many faid it was the Raajaa's fame and reputa- 

 tion; and others, that a houfehold goddefs had entered 

 his palace. And her wifdom and virtue fet her above 

 all the ladies of the court.
