170 THE HIGHLANDS OF CENTRAL INDIA 



Drum of Beejasal resounding — 



Dancing, singing, by tlie altars. 

 Thus he taught them, Holy 

 Lingo; 



And his last words then he ut- 

 tered — 



" Keep your promise to the Turtle, 



To the Eiver-Turtle Dame; 

 To the Gods I now am going." 

 Then he melted from their 



vision ; 

 And they strained their eyes to 



see him. 

 But he vanished, and was seen not.
