2-1-6 B. Bandyopadhyaya — Hamir Bdsd, [No. 3, 



heaven, singing hymns of praise. Urvasi, the fairy-queen, threw garlands 

 of flowers on his head and rubbed it with nectar. In heaven the gods sang 

 ' Glory to Hamir,' and on earth all men did the same. Great rejoicings were 

 made in the golden city of Amaravati on the grand occasion of the great 

 Chohan's entering into Paradise. Glory, glory, glory to the brave and 

 generous Bao of Banthambor ! 



'Punishment of Sarjan Slidh. — After the death of Hamir, Sarjan Shah 

 called Ala-uddin to the fort of Banthambor. The emperor was struck 

 dumb by Hamir's resolution. He gave vent to his feelings of admiration 

 in the following words : " Glory to you, Bao Hamir, glory to your mother 

 who bore in her womb such a heroic son. Your words are true. You are 

 a perfect pattern of disinterestedness. You have left life and interest for 

 the cause of one, a foreigner by birth, creed and nationality. The earth 

 ■will never see such a hero again. You are unequalled in bravery, Hamir. 

 I offered you terms of peace continually for fourteen years, but you were 

 immovable from your purpose and resolution like a, mountain. May your 

 name be glorious from one end of the world to the other. Glory to you, 

 valiant hero of heroes." 



Turning about, the emperor said to Sarjan Shah : " Listen to what I say, 

 now. The Bao is dead, go and get me a hair of his head." Mahadeva frowned, 

 and the following words were heard to come out. " Take care, thou vile 

 monster, thou ungrateful wretch, if thou advance one step to execute thy 

 foul purpose, thou art a dead man, and thy head severed from thy body." 



Sarjan was frightened out of his wits. The emperor laughed, looked 

 at him, and thus exclaimed, " Basest of all mortals, thou faithless to thy 

 salt, thou hast no equal in villainy. In return for thy black deeds take this 

 deserving reward." His head was cut off, and his body tied to the tail of an 

 elephant and dragged all about the camp.
