the Eaft-India Pagans, 
Anothci- habitants of AdoVcera with fo heavy a 
Sleep, that (unknown to them) he car- 
" ried them with all their Cartel, Ra- 
gta Ongcfun their King to this new City, 
unto whicli he gave the Name of Davar- 
ca^ leaving Scdamma his old School- 
fellow and Attendant behind him in a 
certain Village, which fmce has got the 
*i^divnt Sedamma^oer which done, he re- 
turn'd with his Brother to Mottcra. 
By this time the Giant Slalmdcr having 
gather'd a vaH: Array, fat down before 
Mottcra j but Kifna and his Brother af- 
ter having kill'd a great number of the 
Enemy, feigning a Retreat were pur- 
I'u'd by SialindcY''% Forces, till coming to 
3 high Mountain they vanilhM, and re- 
tir'd to the City Davarca \ and Sialinder 
being thereby become Mafter of Mottera^ 
fettled his Rehdence there. 
In the mean while lOfnas School-fellow 
being married was grown fo poor, that 
he was forced to fell his Clothes to buy 
Victuals. Being almoft reduc'd to de- 
fpair, his Wife advisM him to take a 
journy to his old School-fellow Ktfna^ 
who fne did not queftion would commi- 
ferate hjs Condition. How is this pofli- 
ble, reply'd the Husband, being quite 
Eaked and not fit to appear before any 
body? Kifna, anfwerM the Wife, does 
not defpife the poor, go and take a 
'■A certain handful of Kam * along with thee for a 
W prefent. 
The Husband foUow'd his Wife's Ad- 
vice, and went to D^'varca^ who was no 
fooner enter'd the Street where Kifna 
liv'd, but being difcover'd by him from 
a Window, he came out to meet and em- 
brace him, and carrying him into his 
Houfe ordered him to be walh'd and pro- 
vided with new Clothes. lOfna ask'd 
him v/hether he had brought him any 
Prefents. Being a poor Man^ reply'd Se- 
iamma^ I had nothing to give but th'vs^ 
which my Wtfe font to thte^ in hopes that C\J-^ 
the Gods would not refufe the mcanejl Pre- 
fent. Kifna receiv'd it kindly, aild put 
it in a Corner of a Cottage belonging 
to one of his Neighbours j and at the 
fame inflant Sedamma's Cottage was 
turn'dinto a fpacious Palace: His W-'ife 
was much furpriz'd at this change, but 
imagining that it yvas done by Kifna, fh^ 
learch'd all the Corners of the Houfe, 
and where-ever (he turn'd her Face found 
fach a vaft quantity of Gold and Silver^ 
and of Ropias, that fhe had fufficient 
wherewithal to provide her felf with 
Servants, Provifions and every thing in 
proportion to the Grandeur of her Pa- 
lace. Sedamma being ignorant of what 
had happen'd, returned full of Melancholy 
from Ktfna, ruminating upon the Road 
whether he had not beft leave his Wife 
and Children \ but foon recolleding him- 
felf, that he ought not to lay the whole 
Burden upon his Wife's Shoulders, and 
defpair of God's Mercy, he made the 
beft of his way homeward : but ap- 
l^roaching the Village, he was amazM to 
fee the Change that had happen'd fince 
his departure, which made him fufped 
he had mifs'd his way ^ but finding by 
fome undeniable Circumftances that he 
was in the right, he went into the Vil- 
lage, where finding inftead of a Cottage 
of Straw a Royal Palace, he flood afto- 
nifh'd, not knowing which way to turn' 
till being difco\'-er'd by his Wife out of a 
Window, fhe fent one of the Servants to 
defire him to enter ^ which he did, and 
being kindly receiv'd by his Wife and 
Children, he ask'd the exad time of this 
fudden Change, which happening (as 
far as they could guefs) precifely at the 
fame time he prefented the Seed, they 
paid their Devotions to Kifna^ diftribu- 
ted Alms among the Poor, and liv'd in 
great Plenty for a long time after.
