His retinue was long : 
He called the Gwalla clan to rise; 
They were seven hundred strong:

‘ And to your salt be true. 
Be up and bear in mind to-day 
‘ The Mian’s claims on you.’

The Gwallas rushed to battle all 
With axes and with bows: 
Where’er they saw the stoutest foe 
They dealt their boldest blows.

While Maliar cheered the fray, 
And he for one remembered well 
The Mian’s claims that day.

Into the thickest fight: 
He drew bis sword and brandished it 
Around him left and right.

Gauradih in the south of Gonda District.
