Having [thus] slain Sado, Araraka Mala and Méha Raja 
returned back. Now [the other] child of Ranaga De, Udo, had 
béen previously slain by the Bhati Kelhana for the revenge of 
the Bhatis Jéto and Lina Karana who [had been] slain [by 
Ranaga De] at Viktiipura; and [now] his other son Sado was 
slain by Araraka Mala. Thus both the children of Ranaga De 
were slain. ‘And Ranaga De [driving] black bullocks and wear- 
ing black garments went to ravala Kehara in Jesalmer, [and] 
then [when] the Ravala went forth to meet him, he said [to 
the Ravala :] “I have a feud with the Rathoras. ” After 
was [then] at Rardda (?), a village of Spey ran from there 
to the pursuit [of Ranaga De] and came near Nala. And there 
there was no water. Vaghuras! came, and then [Cid6] met 
the Vaghora Thibha and said jto him]: ‘I have with thee 
the feud of Goga De, but if thou givest [me] water to drink 
and helpest ime] to kill the Bhati Ranaga De, the feud is con- 
doned [to thee].”” Then [Jhabha] gave [him] water to drink 
from his water-pots which were filled, and the Vaghuras 
watered his horses. And [Jhabha] joined [Citdd] and off they 
went. And then the pursuers fell on Ranaga De near the - 
Loharalai pond, and slew [him], and having slain him they 
went back to Nagora. Afterwards, in the course of some days, 
the Prince of Jesalmer said to Kelhana: ‘‘ We have a feud 
with the Rathoras.”” Then Kelhana was staying with the 
' Patisaha of Multan, and forming the vanguard in front of 
the Patisiha had gone [with an army] to Delhi; then taking 
oth the army of Multan and the army of Delhi, he went to 
Nagora over rava Cado and there at Nagora rava Cudd was 
slain. And after [wreaking this ania Kelhana went back 
[to his domains]. 
We will now leave behind this dark period of feuds and 
personal enmities, and enter into a more glorious period in the 
history of the Rathoras, when the princes are seen fighting for 
the land of their conquest. Citdd was succeeded by his son 
Rina Mala, who was murdered at Citora about the year Samvat 
1 Rina Mala’s son Jodhd and Jodho’s son Viké are well- 
known names; ; the latter, as everybody knows, conquered the 
Jangala country and founded Bikaner in Samvat 1545. He 
is turn succeeded by his son Jéta St. This prince nobly fell on 
the field of honour in Samvat 1598, while defending Bikaner 
gainst an army sent over him by Mala De of Jodhpur. The 
particulars of the battle are related in the following extract taken 
1 I do not know what tribe or class of people is meant by this term.
