SAKHi SAEWAE AND DANI JATTI. 81
145 God, at my request,
(He) sent that angel quickly :
When life entered into the child
The child began to play.
When the attendant in the morning opened the door of
Sakhi Sarwar's shrine D§,ai had recovered from her swoon.
And through fear, lest the attendant should ask her why she
had remained in the shrine all night and had not gone out,
she ran away quietly by another way. But she knew that her
child was alive again. When the attendant went inside he
saw that a child was playing about. He took it up in his arms
and called out, " Who left a boy in the shrine all night
And Dani, hearing the call, came at once and said, " The child
is mine I" Then said the attendant
Attendant.
—
Listen, thou fool and idiot
150 Canst show me any marks of the child
Ddni.
Rings in his ears and crooked zone-of- silver-beads,
Golden rings in his ears !
CheerfaUy hast thou granted my desires.
Thou saint of Nigaha.
When Dani gave the signs and marks of the child the attendant
delivered the child to her.
155 Dani^s friends became pressing
Dani's friends asked questions
" Tell us the whole truth.
What chance hath happened "
Ddnt.
160 The day we came to the ber tree,
God called (my son) to his presence.
I gave and distributed alms, sir ;
A thank-offering for my son, sir.
Good hath been thy deed, Sarwar,
165 That brought the son to his mother
