Though on account of this age, the praise of his virtue is one-legged, 
yet, through his power, it has travelled over the world, holding the

* The Burrin or high land of Rajashahi is covered with the most enormous 
tanks that astonish every body. I do not know of ever hearing of any other dis- 
trict with the same number of tanks as this. It is no exaggeration to Say,
