7 Loa thakur samihat: began to console the Thakur.
Apt purnt muwen: I myself will fulfil.
Amen paharo khe jai: let us go to the hills.
Sidha, the Thakur of Kot, began to weep (and said):
"No one helps me, O Raja, when I am in trouble." (Said the Raja :) -
35 "Speak, Sidha thakur, what is thy trouble ?" (And he answered): -
"The Palaut clan of Balsan have greatly harassed me;
They have cut down the mulberry tree in my enclosure, and the paja in my court-yard. I have come with this petition: be pleased to do me justice, Raja."
The Raja unwound his turban for a moment, and then put it on again,
40 While Bhari Chand kanwar consoled the thakur (saying):
"Sidha Thakur, do not be afraid:
I myself will give thee all my aid, Sidha. Take men with thee. Take too powder and ball. "
Then Sidha Thakur of Kot besought him (saying):
45 "Raja Sahib, let us go to the hills.
We will bring back silver and gold, packed in skins."
Then Bhari Chand kznwar made ready.
A new Raja having been installed at Nahan, some one else had to be harassed 143
But the Goleri 48 Rânî besought them (saying):
50 Raja Sahib, hearken to thy queen's advice: We are friendly with the Rand of Keonthal and should not attack him." (But the Raja said): -
"O Rant of Goler, where are thy wits? We will bring from the hills silver and gold, packed in skins."
So the Raja of Nahan bade that a letter be
written.
32 Laga dahile rondá: began to shed tears.
34 Tankhe: to thee ( tujhko) tan.
36 Balsano re Palanie: the Palinis of Balsan. Lod ghart ro khde: give me much trouble.
Awigowa dun: I have come. arj khearsi ko: for a request. Shikh lat de Rija: O king, instruct them, ..., be pleased to punish them.
Parni nahi tuwen you should not fear.
Aukhi nishani: in time of trouble.
41 Hor kar dunt nardjt: we will again proceed against.
43 So they invaded Keonthal State without any canse or provocation, apparently.
