standing he will abuse me.
And saying this Rani Kokilan leapt down the palace wall and
was sorely wounded. The Raja picked up the wounded Rani,
and tied her on to one side of Raja Hodi's horse, and the corpse
of the Raja he tied on to the other side, and sent it away to
Atak, to Raja Hodi's country. And thus the adventures ended.
After this Raj& RasalA set out from Murat to Sialkot, and
here it was that a Jhlnwar* took the Rani Kokil&n to wife and
cured her wounds. And here, too, after a while she bore him
three sons, from whom are sprung the three Jhinwar Gets, who
dwell there to the present day, viz.,
Sabir, Gabir, and Sir.f
* The carrying caste: especially of tlie "bteestie" (bahishti) or
water- carrying class.
t It would be very interesting and valuable to try and find if these
clans really exist, and what legends they have of their own origin.
