The legends of the Panjâb

:
PRINCESS ADHIE ANUP DAI. 239
Bring about the meeting of Princess Adhik AnAp with
me.
The marriage with Adhik AnAp : the marriage bring
to me.' "
150 Hearing this said the camel, " Prince, hear my words
I am a camel ; thou didst neglect me ; didst separate
me from my home.
Now art thou teasing me : nor dost thou keep thy
thoughts in thy own heart.
I cannot manage this : go
:
stay in thy own house \"
Hearing this the Prince wept, and cried aloud in his
weeping :
155 " Either bring me to the Princess, else I will stab myself
with a dagger and die !"
Hearing this said the camel, " Prince, hear my words :
Eight days are plenty, I will go myself within the time."
" Camel, thou art jesting with me ; take me to the
Princess."
Hearing this said the camel, " Prince, hear my words
160 Put on thy garments quickly, and mount me."
Quickly bathed the Prince and put on his ornaments.
Put the parrot into his cage and came to the camel.
All the city collected round that camel.
The Prince got up and the people began to joke :
165 " The Prince is mad about this camel I"
They went from Sialkot taking the parrot with them.
The Prince went from there and came to the City of
Kanauj,
Fixed his abode in the garden, and the Prince enjoyed
himself.
" Parrot, what will you do now make the Princess
meet me."
1 70 Flapping his wings off went the parrot and came to the
Princess.
" Princess, what art thou doing Hear my prayer :
The Prince is sitting in the garden sighing for thee.
See the Prince for he is quite young !
