The Rise of the War between the Rinds and Lashdris. 



[This poem is another fragment of the Chakar cycle, giving an 

 account of tlie spoiling of Gohar's camels by the Lasharis, and Chakars' 

 vow of revenge. The episode of the refugee-lizard is quoted by one of 

 the characters as an illustration of the extreme Baloch doctrine of hospi- 

 tality. Relian and Jaro the Rind warriors mentioned were sister's sons to 

 Cliakar. Doda who is mentioned at the end is Doda Gorgez, celebrated 

 for the revenge he took for the spoiling of Sammi's cattle.]
