1885.] Sri Narayan Singh— The battle of Kanarpi Ghat. 
Bachhgoti of fame as pure as beauteous pearls, and Gaharwar, each

Karambar, Pammar, Kathela, Kat’hariya, and the warrior Surnek. 
Lai the great poet knows the great grandeur of the warriors who were 
accustomed to wield swords upon their enemies’ heads. 
10. Doha. 
Horses, tall, swift in speed, and mighty in the fierce battle-field,— 
these they untied, caught hold of their reins and brought out. 
11. Ghhand Bliujangajpraydt. 
Turkish, Arab, Iraki, and excellent Kachchhi; sea horses and the 
Kanhari which excelled the Lachchhi fish in speed. None can describe 
the graceful paces of the swift Tazi, Mujannas, and Pithani, excellent, 
graceful steeds of Kamboj, as mobile as water, and fleet as quicksilver 
in a metal dish. The horses shone of various colours,—there were 
chestnut ones, and fish-coloured ones, light yellows, and very dark blues, 
tawny yellows, dark blacks, and handsome browns, iron-greys, greys, 
blues and blacks, bays and whites which were companions of the wind 
in speed, and broke down the pride of Indra’s horse Uchchaissrava. 
Horses blazed on the five lucky places, # stood as if they themselves 
were giving luck. Some were of the colour of pigeons, and seemed as 
if they had been coloured by painters. The saddles and bridles were 
embroidered with thousands of varieties of gold wire and diamonds. 
12. Doha. 
Each warrior saluted and mounted his own horse. From the fort 
to the Kamlaf they formed a dense crowd. King Narendra saw an 
auspicious kitej in the sky, and his moonlike face flashed. He uttered 
the auspicious names Lambodar and Bighnes§ and sallied forth. He 
fastened on his forehead a fish’s tail, and wore a safflower garland, 
and after saluting Bighnes, the king issued from his palace. 
* White stockings, and a white blaze on the forehead. 
f A river about five miles west of Bhawara. 
t Chhemankarini, the Brahmani kite or Coromandel eagle, considered as a bird 
of good omen, Falco Ponticerianus. 
§ Two names of Ganes, the conqueror of obstacles.
