The legends of the Panjâb

MADAnA the BEAVE, lord of CHAUpl. 413
125 Thence they went (back) to the tank of Beshl.
Then the Br§,hmani came to the tank :
" The strong man of yesterday is carried back to-day."
The Brahmanl of
Beshi brought a cup of milk.
(But) at that very moment the Lord MadanS, gave up
his life.
130 "0 Mathrft, thou Bard, change now thy music,*
That when the Eeija of Jiinga hears the notes from here
He may know that Madana is brought back dead."
Thence they went to the land of Chauia:
The old father and mother raised a loud cry;
135 " my Lord Kaja, thou hast never spared us :
Sending both uncle and nephew to the war."
In the Kebru plain they built the pyre.
And Odu, the uncle, burnt the Chief there.
* I.e., The laard who accompanied the force must now change his
martial music for that of a funeral.
