he wrote and sent a letter to king Indra. The letter ran thus : " I 

 am now seeking those three persons whom I changed into deer, but 

 cannot find them anywhere, and I have exhausted all my powers. 

 The word has gone out of my mouth that Uday-bhan is my son and 

 I am his father. In his father-in-law's house preparations are made 

 for his marriage. I have now fallen into a great difficulty. Do 

 what you can for me." King Indra came with all (the attendants 

 of) his throne to see the Guru Mahandar and said, " He is my son, 

 as also he is thine. I will put myself in conjunction with you and 

 all the inhabitants of Indra to get Uday-bhan married." Gosain 

 Mahandar Gur said to king Indra " What thou sayest I also say ; 

 but do thou shew me some means of finding Uday-bhan." King 

 Indra said, " We will take all the singiug men and singing women 

 and traverse all the forests. Somewhere or other we shall find 

 him." The Guru Ji said, " Well." 



The deer forget the sport peculiar to themselves : 



The wonderful transformation into the shape of deer ceases, 



And prince Uday-bhan and his father 



And mother are restored to their former shapes.
