Indeed the bees stung at Anjana’s fair, 0 : 
The bees stung, O the bees stung. 
Verily the bees stung at Anjana’s fair, 0 ! 
All the people at the fair rushed into the jungles, O : 
The priest of the place ran into his house, 
Into his house.

The monkey god Hanuman was the son of Anjana, wife of Kesari, 
a monkey, by Vayu or Pavana, the Wind ; whence his metronymic 
Anjaneya. At Gurk’ri, four miles from Kangra town, there is a temple to 
Anjana, and a fair is held there in her honour in October. The story 
goes that many years ago a man at the fair accidentally disturbed a bees’ 
nest, and the bees dashed out and stung all the people, who ran into the 
thick jungles in the neighbourhood.

an intensive termination. The word should, however, be perhaps explained as nahh? 
on = nahm o = nahm hai, is not, where on (o) = hai. See footnote to p. 161.
