The Bengali Poem, Candi. 
All Kayasthas on either bank of Ganges stream can eat with me; 
I claim them all as kin, and they give us their daughters willingly. 
My family’s stock has many shoots—wives, mothers, brothers! it makes 
me pant! 
Six sons-in-law with families—seven houses is the least we want. 
Please give me oxen and a plough, let basket, pedal, fan be sent; 
My gracious lord will nowhere find a worthier recipient.” 
But, like Sancho in his island, the hunter has little knowledge of 
the world, and his officials, Bhanru Datt especially, grievously oppress the 
people ; at last his feudal lord, the King of Kalinga, invades the province, 
and Kalaketu is conquered and thrown into prison. The goddess Candi, 
however, appears in a dream to the king, and her votary is restored to his 
people; and at his death he leaves his little kingdom to his son.
