A considerable nunber of our characters appeared in India at this time. They were grouped chiefly in two large families, descended
respectively from Jupiter and Pavo. These families intermarried in the usual way, Mars and Corona being the eldest sons. Jupiter
had five sons, who being all huge men, were commonly called the five giants. They were all huge men, were commonly called the
five giants. They were all remarkably alike in form and feature, though differing widely in disposition; Mercury and Naga resembled
each other so closely that they were practically indistinguishable. They were all trained and expert warriors, and on the occasion of
a tournament they challenged any twenty of the knights and nobles assembled there to fight simultaneously against them. Twenty
experts promptly accepted the challenge, but were easily defeated; then twenty more tried hoping that the giants might be fatigued
after their previous exertions, but this also failed ignominiously, and the five giants were left in possession of the field. They had one
sister Yajna, as tall and stalwart as her brothers; indeed, she had been known to put on their armour and go forth with with them
with out being detected. She appropriately married Corona.
Instead of acting as governors of Provinces, the king's sons in this incarnation rode up and down the country like the knights-errant
of the Middle Ages, seeking for wrongs to redress, and endeavouring to see that justice was done in their land. When Mars came
to the throne he sent his next brother Naga to be Viceroy of a vast new province which, owing to the failure of its original dynasty,
had just been absirbed unti the kingdom, and Naga spent the rest of his life there as practically an independent ruler, Mars visiting
that part of his kingdom only twice in some forty years. Naga had married Electra, and they made a magnificently handsome pair;
their numerous children were careful to intermingle with the other branches of the family, but we may notice that the grandchildren
were already becoming exclusive, and marrying only among their own people.
The kingdom in which there had previously been a good deal of mal-administration and corruption was brought by the efforts of
our group into a much better condition, and the Government remained strong, just and able for some centuries.
