[No. 3, 
On the thirteenth day the king held the final srdddha, and held a concert of 
drums and cymbals, and all the relations came and sacrificed. 213. He 
gave a feast to all his relations, and at that hour the Lady Mayana first 
touched fish. 214. What with to-day, and what with to-morrow, a year 
passed, and after one year another day came. 215. What with to-day, and 
what with to-morrow, five years passed, and she gave him to be taught by 
a guru. 216. He taught the king to write in four lessons. What with 
to-day, and what with to-morrow, seven years passed. 217. The king was 
then named. Manik Chandra Raja’s son was called Gopi Chandra. 218. 
And his younger (foundling) brother was called Lankeswar “ Found in 
the Field.”* 219. What with to-day, and what with to-morrow, nine years 
passed; and then, what did the Lady Mayana do ? 220. She spake as

enquired as follows. 227. “ Why and wherefore, 0 guru brahman, hast

damsels named Aduna and Paduna. The fair Mayana wisheth to form a 
marriage with them. 229. Mayana hath a son within her palace, and to 
him doth she wish to give them.” 
The King spake. 
230. “ Go, go, I consent,” and ordered him away. And the Brah¬
