1893.] G. A. Grierson — A specimen of the Padumaivciti. 
■wounded by love, 1 — Wliat is hunger or sleep or shade to him ? He 
changeth his appearance, and he remaineth in torture, like a jewel 
covered and bidden in the dust. 
0 Muhammad, the body which love hath, hath neither blood nor 
flesh. Whoever seeth such a man face to face laugheth, but when the 
lover lieareth the laughter tears come (into his eyes).

24. It was the year 947 (of the Hijra,) 2 when the poet began to tell 
this tale in words. Of Ceylon and Queen Padmavatl, whom Iiatna Sena 
brought to Citaur castle ; of ’Alau’d-din, the Sultan of Delhi, and of 
how Pagliava Caitanya told him of her. How the Emperor beard and 
besieged the castle, and how there arose the war between the Hindus 
and the Mmsalmans. From beginning to end, just as the story runs, 
so wrote he it in the language of the people, and told it in verse. The 
1 Here we have the first instance of the poet’s use of the word biraha. He 
uses it to mean love, especially unhappy love. In countless places it cannot possibly 
have the usual meaning of ‘ separation from a beloved one.’ Ohdyd is translated 
in the Urdu Gloss by ‘ full of.’ I can find no authority for this.
