Deatli itself in tlie battle-field, and spread a tale of bis valour among bis 
enemies. 
34. Then ruled Ksbem Singb for tbe prosperity of tbe eartb, be 
rooted out all tbe (tborns) formidable enemies witb tbe strength of bis 
bands. 
35. Tbe wives of demons, grown senseless, and graceful in tbe act 
of staggering, occasioned by satiety or intoxication from drinking a por¬ 
tion of tbe blood, gave it in skulls filled up to tbe brim and overfiowing, 
to tbeir husbands, who drinking to an excess out of tbe vessels placed in 
tbe hands of jolly female attendants, merrily sing aloud tbe noble acts of 
that king in tbe battle-fields. 
36. Ksbem^ Singb found a successor in Samant Singb, protector of 
tbe earth, excelling even Cupid himself in beauty, who seized all tbe 
property of tbe petty kings in bis empire. 
37. Kumar Singb then became tbe leader of tbe armies of tbe 
Gobils, of which tbe glory is curious [as led only by generals after Kbu- 
man whose descendants did not command in person]'* which never 
sustained a defeat, and be retook tbe lands that bad been taken by ad¬ 
versaries. 
38. Then succeeded a king whose name was formed by two words, 
one signifying a Lion, and tbe other meaning tbe crusher of tbe pride of 
bis enemies’ armaments; that is, bis name was Mathan Singh, really sig¬ 
nificant of bis qualities, for he defeated bis foes witb bis valour.- 
39. His sword could assume double aspects in tbe field of battle : 
(1) While in tbe scabbard it did not sprinkle any blood at all; (2) 
When active in tbe field in spilling blood, it was not satiated and did not 
seek tbe scabbard. 
40. After him king Padma Singb, tbe essence of tbe rest, protected 
tbe land of Mewar, and made it happy. 
41. Tbe learned Padma Singh, glorious like tbe lustre of a pearl 
got from tbe globes (resembling bill-peaks) over tbe beads of bis enemies’ 
mad elephants unseamed by his sword, nicely inscribed tbe song or nar¬ 
rative of tbe vigour of bis arms on tbe tablet of battle-fields. 
42. On Padma Singh’s ascending tbe seat of immortals (i. e., 
Heaven), succeeded king Jaitra Singb,f tbe strength of whose bands 
shook tbe foundations of an enemy called Kadole, and who was to the 
army of tbe Turks like Agastya to tbe Ocean. [As tbe sage Agastya 
* = separation. Taking it (= to mean constant atten¬ 
dance, tlie [ ] would stand thus : ‘ as constantly led by the descendants of Khuman 
in person.’ 
t There is a small pillar at Ekling Ji, bearing the S. 1270 (= A. D. 1213), and 
records the name of Jaitra Singh as the then sovereign.
