" Rijl, protector of thy subjects^ bnrn not thyself
What is troubling thee Listen, King Rasalu.

suffer trouble.

None should have such power over thee, Raja.
What dost burn for. Raja why not tell me
Bajd RasaM.
"Harbhaj Sah, I tell thee :
think it over in thy mind.
1370 His and my life were of one moment and one time.
His and my death are of one moment and one time.
This was his and my honor : after him what can I do
Speak for ever but I will not turn back : I will burn on
the same pyre.
Burn us some time to-day, I will meet Mahite now.**
