vifed by him to apply himfelf to Raja In-

toV'iJinum for 12 years fuccelTively, fit- 
ting crofs-leg'd without InterrailTion up- 
on the Ground (a thing much pradtifed 
among thefe Pagans) Thus K^^p. I faw 
a certain Jogy^ or Mendicant, at Cohimbo^ 
whofe Arms were grown together over 
his Head, by fitting in that Pofture. 
Soon after it happen'd, that the be- 
fore-mention'd King Raja Scflraarjum, 
coming to give a Vilit to his Brother-in- 
law with a great Retinue, he was fo fait 
afleep, that all the noife of the Hounds, 
Horns and Drums could not awaken him : 
his Wife Reneca therefore having rouzed 
her Husband, by fprinkling fome warm 
Water upon his Head, he arofe i when 
Raja Scf- Raja fainting the Brahman^ told him, 
tmrfum j-^e Fame of his Piety had induced 
Brahman! ^^"^ Retinue to come to fup, and 
to take a Nights Lodging with him. 
The Brahman Siamdkhemi, being mucJi 
concern'd how to provide for fo many 
1000 Perfons, at laft confider'd of the 
white Cow^ called Camdoga^ belonging 
'^^^"^"f to Raja Inder^ which furnifhes thofe that 
have her in their pofieffion with e- 
very thing they wifh for. Having there- 
fore defired Inder to fend him the faid 
Cow, he granted his Reqnefi; ^ and the 
Cow being fent down, the Brahman de- 
fired Raja and his Attendants to fit down 
at Supper, which was ferved with fuch 
Variety and Plenty, that ^^jji?, who was 
come upon no other account than to ri- 
dicule his Brother in Law's-Poverty,ftood 
amazed thereat •, and further to try his 
Ability, ask'dhim, to prefent him with 
fome Jewels ; which the Brahman hav- 
ing prefented him with (much beyond 
what could beexpeded) Raja ask d liim 
for fome Clothes and Money for his Peo- 
ple, which being likewife brought him 
by his Brother-in-law, he refolved alfo 
toftaythe next day ^ and being ferved 
at Table with the fame Plenty as before, 
Ra;ai>/V/!- he flayed alfo the third day ^ when 
tifully cn- meeting with the fame Entertainment, 
tenaiik'd, y^^g amazed to find out whence all 
this Plenty of Provifions, Clothes and 
Riches could come in a place, where he 
expected fo little, efpecially finceheob- 
ferved that all was brought out of the 
Brahman's Hut, which was not big e- 
nough to hold half the quantity. This 
made him order fome of his Spies to 
take particular notice, whether there 
w.5i3 not a Vault underground, from 
Vol. Ml 
whence thefe things were brought. The r^J)^^'^ 
Spies watching a!) Opportunities to fa- 
tisfy their Mailer's Curiofity, found at '^•'^^ 
laft that a flender white Cow did bring 
forth all thefe things (which fhe threw 
out of her Stomach) whereof immediate 
notice was given to Raja. 
The next Morning as he was taking 
his Leave from the Brahman^ being ask'V! 
by him, whether he was delirous cf a- 
ny thing elfe, he told him, that he wan- 
ted nothing more, but only the white 
Cowhehadfeen in his Hut; thei^n?/;- 
man replied, that being not his own, flic- 
was not in his difpofal. ^^nd^ fiid Raja, 
will you deny me fo fmall a Requejl^ af- 
ter you have heaped fo many Obligations up- 
on me before ? What I did before^ faid t\\z 
Brahman^ was in my own Power ^ but thi'S h 
not, How^ replied Raja., don^t you know 
that it is in my Power to take her againj} your 
Will ? and then calling to fome of Jn's 
Followers, he commanded them to fetch 
the white Cow out of the Ki^t. The 
Brahman feeing this beloved whfCe Co;v 
thus fnatched from him, told her at part- 
ing. Dear Camdoga, mujl I thus leave 
youy how can I anjwcr this to Raja inder 
your Mafltr ? revenge thyfelf at once loth 
of thine and mine Enemies . The Cow ^^jisFco^

than her own, flie laid about her with 
her Horns to that degree, that fhe kill'd 
and trod under Foot feveral thoufand of 
Raja\ People^ which done, flie flew 
like Lightning up into the Air to her 
own Mafter, Raja exafperated at the ^"'^'"'^1- 
Slaughter of his Men, and burning with mu^lrcd 
Revenge, returned to the Hut of the 
Brahman., where they kill'd and left him 
wallowing in his Blood. The unfortu- Reneca 
nate Reneca., unwilling to outlive her '^"'"■^

herfelf with his dead Carcafe. wkm't%. 
Camdoga in the mean while meeting cuihm of 
with Praffaram not far from her Mailer's ^'*™ng the 
Houfe, told him what had happen'd, ^^'^^^ 
whodeclar'd he would revenge the fame 
21 times upon all the Ketteriis (a wicked 
Generation ) and thus making the befl: of 
his way with his Perx^y., Bow and Arrow, 
he penetrated into the middle of Raja's 
Troops, and kill'd him with all his PrafTaram 
Guards ; thence travelling through the 
revenges 
World, he kill'd all the Ketteriis he met ^''"^^^atho 
with, but could not do it fo effedually, 
but that fome efcap'd his Fury, who mul- 
tiplying by degrees, he was forc'd to re- 
new his Revenge againft them, which he 
did 21 times, till they were quite rooted 
out from the face of the Earth.
