THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY
[JULY, 1918
Translation. What Indra is to Jrimbh 16, What Jarawânal 16 is to water, To the proud Rawan
Is Raghu the King17. What wind is to the cloud, What Sham bu is to Káma, 18 To the Thousand-armed 19
LA Ram of the double-kingdom 10. What fire is to the forest, What the leopard is to the herd of deer, Is to the elephant the tiger (says Bhusan 91),
Such is the rule of the deer. What light is to the darkness, What Krishna is to Kansa, 29 So to his foe's family To-day is Prith-raj.23
