Rsija Parag ko tohke jagave, ji.

Jis rastS, ki Sutak Patak gae tbe, ji,

For an hour the Raja sat.
And then lay on the bed in forgetl"ulnes3.
The Princess' fan* hung from the bed.
Sutak and Patak climbed np by the fan,
935 And drinking up Raja Pdrag's life went out of the
palace.
Coming out they changed their form.
And took the road to Dhartmandal.
On the road they sat down at the mouth of a well,
And arranged to take their food.
940 The Princess started in her sleep,
And shook RajS, Parag to awake him.
The snakes (^ags) had drunk up the Rdja's life.
Seeing the Raja's (state) she went out quickly.
The road that Sfttak and Patak had taken,
945 The same road she took.
* Chanwar, the tail of the yak and a sign of royalty, used as a flapper
to drive ofi flies.
