Translation. 

 I. 1 



Hardaul, the darling of Datiya, 2 your fame is hrilliant in the world. 



Whence comes the host 3 exultingly, where has the halt been made ? 



From Datiya comes the exulting host, at Erichh has the halt been 

 made. 



At Erichh why did you halt, clear boy, where fodder and water fail ? 



Turn back and halt at Taktakan, dear boy, where your cattle may 

 graze on dub 4 grass. 



Our 5 darling comes out on a long journey, to offer his sister's daughter 

 boiled rice. 



Tou are a Bundela chief of chiefs, in the south your sword has been 

 busy. 



II. 



At e the time of your birth, your clansmen, your father, and mother 

 perished. 



King ! have sandal wood cut and fire put to your mother's pyre. 



No man's father and mother live for ever j 7 a brother is as a right arm. 



"With tears of unrestrained weeping the garment 8 was wet through : 

 poison 8 in the pulse, poison in the boiled rice, of poison was the rice-milk 

 made.
