‘ Pirbala’s* marriage feast to-day 
‘ They keep with banquet high : 
‘ So I shall seize on Gaura Got 
‘And on my gods rely.’

Then uprose Raja Suhil Dal ; 
‘ My brother king,’ quoth he, 
‘ To arms we’ll call our armies all 
‘ And I shall go with thee, 
‘ The G wallas kill and Salar’s kine 
‘ Our booty be to-day.’ 
A wanton king was Suhil Dal 
And would not brook delay.

1 . 
The Gwalla clan at Gaura Got, 
They were seven hundred strong : 
Nand Maharf was their sturdy chief: 
His retinue was long. 
To him the raja Suhil Dal 
For tribute sent request; 
Of curds and milk on Mahar Nand 
He laid a strong behest. 
2 . 
When thus the raja Suhil Dal 
Demanded milk and curds, 
Nand Mahar heard but heeded not 
The raja’s haughty words : 
‘ Gajan my master is,’ said he, 
‘ Whom fealty I owe : 
‘ And to his wedding feast to-day 
‘ My milk and curds shall go.’ 
3 . 
The raja heard but gave no thought 
To what Nand Mahar said : 
He drew his army out in line 
And Bag Mai went ahead. 
Salar Mas'ud. 
His name still lives as eponym of a place 12 miles north of Set Mahet.
