1445 When Raja Janmeji heard his mother's words,
He called the priests and astrologers, (and said to
them),
" Father, I fall at thy feet."
(Said they), "Be at peace, my client."
{Said he), "Read the books, expound the Yedas, repeat
the Name of Krishna,
1450 The Nags slew my father :
I will fight with the Nags.
I will take vengeance for him.
Fighting with the Nags."
Said the Priest, " Thou wilt win.
1455 AJrrows, Raja, will not harm thee,

Spears will not harm thee."

Wrote a letter and sent it to Dhartmandal.
