300 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [N.S., XVII, 
antiquity only for abuse. It is a common picture that two 
warrior-poets come in front of their respective parties, stand- 
ing ready to fight, and begin a contest in verse, consisting of 
boasts of themselves and the nastiest insinuations against the 
adversary. The sides, the rank and file, take a keen interest 
and those whose nerves are first unable to tolerate any longer 
the ghastly abuse of the enemy rush first into the skirmish.”
