Kavi Rdj Shyamal Das —On the Tritlii Bdj Hdsa. [No. 1, 
ing Pranayam (a system of Yog in which the breath is drawn in throngb 
the nostrils, and then exhaled in the opposite direction after a periodical 
stoppage), who have acquired true wisdom, and seated in a lovely and 
charming spot, perceive the Deity existing in the soul. 
10. In that forest, where ascetics practise Yog and are generally 
freed from the bonds preventing the approach to heaven ; Harit Rishi 
who subdued the senses by the practice of Yog, who clearly sees the 
occurrences of the universe, and attained final absorption into Siva, the 
abode of the result of ascetic severities, granted (the goddess of) royalty 
to his votary, the renowned Bapa Rawal. 
11. Bapa Rawal artfully transferred the characteristics of a Brah¬ 
man (acquired during his breeding in a Brahman household) to Harit 
Rishi resembling Brahma in his prowess, as it were by means of his 
services to the sage : and in return he received, the splendour of a

high sentiments themselves, who was a great warrior, and enjoyed the 
wealth of the enemies (slain by him). 
15. His son was Kalbhoj, who cut asunder the love of the females 
(of Dravida and Kalinga or) who wear garments reaching down to the 
toes, the crown of the kings of noble races, who inflicted punishment 
on the rulers of the Carnatic, who took delight in worshipping the images 
of Vishnu, well-versed in the mysteries of law and witticism, (whoso 
strictness was) unbearable from his dealing punishment with a violent 
bow true to its aim and terrible like death. 
16. Then came Bliartri Bhat, who satisfied women with his jDrotec-
