Now Jinda Rava, after he left the marriage procession 

 bound for Umarakota, on his way home robbed the cows of a 

 CaranT, her name Viravarl. She went to Buro to demand help, 

 but he refused it, adducing the pretext that he had a pain in 

 his eyes. Viravarl then went to Pabu, who readily undertook 

 the task of revenge. At the head of the seven Thorls and the 

 marriage guests of Cadiyo, Pabu ran after Jinda Rava and 

 rescued the kine. When he took them back to Kolu, the poor 

 beasts were dying with thirst, so he took them to the well and 

 with Ins own hands drew up water for them. Meanwhile, the 

 younger sister of Viravarl had gone to Buro and rebuked him 

 saying : " What do you think you have gained by refusing to 

 go and rescue our kine ? Lo, Pabu, your younger brother, has

run to the rescue and lost his life at the hands of the Khici. 

 1 he news, of course, was false, but Buro believed it and with- 

 out further consideration went in anger after Jinda Rava. The 

 two met m the field and Buro was killed. When Jinda Rava 

 saw Buro dead, he was greatly a i arraedj because he thought 

 now Pabu would come to revenge his brother's death. He 

 therefore resolved to anticipate the attack by going himself in 

 search of Pabu and ailing upon him by surprise. Accordingly, 

 he hastened to Kolu, where he went to see Pemo, the ruler of 

 the place and won him to his side by representing Pabu as 

 scneming to dispossess him of the land. Pabu was still at the 

 well where he had drawn water for the cows, when he noticed 

 a cloud of dust nearmg from a distance. - What is that ?"
