15 " Thou hast been bidden to Nában by the
negi of Mångarh (he answered), For the people grieve like a widow without
her lord, and thou should'st go thither
and make thyself master of the State)." Then Bhari Chand kanwar went to Nában, And after incising Gangu's thumb, (his
forebead was marked with the blyod as his réj-tilak, and) he was placed upon the throne.

When the news of his (accession) reached
Sidha, (the Thakur) of Kog,20 20 Sidba, the Thakur of Kog, made a plot. (He pretended that) the Palânt tribes23
beyond the river had harassed him, And had ent down the mulberry tree in the
enclosure, as well as the pdja tree (the
padma-káshta) in his court-yard. (And said he): "I must make a trip to
Nában and petition the Raja." So Sidha, Thâkur of Kot, made ready to go
to Nában. 25 Into his waist-band he put a citron fruit
made of gold, And in his hand he took a stick, and over
his shoulder (he threw) a shawl. Thus Sidha, the Thakur of Kot, reached
Náhan. The Raja's court was being beld in the
court-yard at Nahan. Sidha, the Thakur of Koț, did obeisance to
the Raja, 30 And prosented his gold citron. Bhart Chand kanwar questioned Sidha
(saying): - Sidha, Thikur of Kot, why hast thou come hither ?"
