the Raná heard it. Thus be spoke, tho Raņa Nup Sain :
The drums are sounding and the dhakulis, Either 'tis thundering in the clouds, or the
Râjâ has come, 250 Go, attendants of me the Raņi, go to Manûn,
Go and bring me news of Desbû ridge. The Rapi's messengers went to the ridge of
Manûn, 48 As far as the ridge of Manun, but not up
to it.'
All the waste land was covered with tents. 255 On the ridge of Desbû everywhere fires were
barning, The gans were seen to be terrible, and
