[his rae — having [thus] wedded, [Ciidd] went 
[back] to Mahev Now there Ciidd cannot stay without 
making Revaztations. So Malo said [to him]: ‘Thou makest 
devastations,” and [Ctd6d] said: ‘I do not make.” Then 
[Mald] said: ‘* Put thy hand on my neck,’’! and [Cio] did 
not put [it]. Then [Malo] was epee and gave [to Cudo] 
the garrison of Salavari. [So Ciidd] began to stay in the 
garrison. Afterwards he kept his Sakhali wife and his child 
Rina Mala at Cidasara and he himself used to come and go 
[from one place to the other]. And he took Mandovara,* and 
thereafter he took also } Nagora and Didavand. And he was 
staying at Nagora. Afterwards Ranaga De espoused [his 
daughter] to Rina Mala. There at Jagali were staying the 
Sakhalas. Now the rule of the Sakhalas grew weak. The 
Sakhalé Méha Raja resided at Pict. But Alhana Si, the child 
of Méha Raja, had gone [to] Viktpura where the Bhatis Jéto 
and Lina-Karana were staying, [having been] placed there by 
ravala Kehara.? Afterwards the Bhati Ranaga De slew them 
and with them slew also the child of Méha Raja. So Méha 
Raja too had a feud [with Ranaga De]. Now Méha Raja had 
said to Cudd: ‘[I] have come [to oe in thy territory, and 
{lo !] my child has been slain!”’ Then Ciid6 said to Araraka 
Mala:* ‘The thing that Méha Raja S2YS, “that thou do.” 
Now Méha Raja went to stay at Bhiidela, a village of Nagora, 
and [his] spies were wandering sheet ut the surroundings 
of] Ranaga De. And Ranaga De had kept [his child] Sado at 
'Ranehara and there Sadd was stayin Afterwards [Sado] 
had caused a meal to be prepared in the house of a carpenter 
woman, and there the carpenter woman said : ** My master has 
& daughter [who] is worthy of Sado.” Then® Sado said: 
‘‘Make me see her with my eyes.’’ Afterwards on the day of 
the Tijas, the carpenter woman went to Odita, a village of the 
Mohilas, and there showed [the maiden] to Sado. And Sado 
espoused her. Now when he was returning, the Sakhalo Méha 
Raja had him spied, and taking with himself Araraka -Mala 
~ some from Nagora, went after him, and then they fell on 
where Dadhali [is, which is now] called Navo 
De [saying]: “Show it to my father-in-law. [For] he will 
say that [his son] was slain for the sake of some bad wench. 
Now like this was I. And I am now going to burn myself 
[with the corpse of my husband ”’].®
