chiefs encountered the four Siamese Rdjas, who were busy 
making prisoners. Then Panglima Dara Bukit cast his spear 
at Phra Ong Koonar Pj at, but missed killing 1 im as he was in¬ 
vulnerable. The latter leapt up and fought with his sword (g). 
Panglima Dar ul Gunong encountered Raja Phra Ong Tang 
Ta, and both fought stoutly with clubs. Panglima Pakerma 
Ahim met Phra Sang Data Kosa, [a Siamese title,] and they 
combated with maces, and Panglima Pakerma Dewa, encoun* 
tere .lPhra Ang Koosin, and they fought with spears. Pang¬ 
lima Mangan Udara met Phra Maha Pho Di and they used 
daggers, and closed on each other 3 seizing each other around 
the waist, Panglima Mangan Indra fell in with Phra Ong 
Chau Phriya, and they bravely contested with barbed spears. 
Thus twelve brave chiefs fought hand to hand, enemy wLh 
enemy. 
Tne six Girgassi chiefs were thus wielding their maces, 
and restoring the fight whenever it slackened, when Pang¬

away most valiantly it was of no use, for these two Giigas- 
si’s chiefs Perjangkala and Karjangkala engaged with two 
more chiefs in a close struggle, and made them prisoners. 
Then the fight was again renewed, for the three Girgassi 
chiefs darted into the midst of the ranks of Dar ul A lum 
and Dar ul Salam, which gave way. 
At this period a Panglima or Kapet of Kalana s force 
who had thus given way, told the Raja that the five thous- 
sand heroes had been slain or made prisoners. M hen the 
Rajas of the Samang and Bila heard these tilings they were 
enraged, and forthwith precipitated themselves into the 
masses of the Girgassi, discharging their anows in advan¬ 
cing at Jangi Kala, who only turned a little but was not 
wounded. Tidings were conveyed to the four Girgassi, who 
quickly came to the aid of their chiefs. lwo of them, 
Sangkera Angkara, and Phusang Dati Kose came, one on

get a description. It was perhaps a discus. The chalera is elsewhere mentioned;
