375 On the ridge of Galamu was pitched a great canopy
Climbing the ranges, the khar lá trees were lopped by the muleteers,
In the court-yard of Jungâ there was much rejoicing.
The eighteen thakurs arrived, and all the Keonthal people.
Râna Nûp Sain of Keonthal said ironically:
Panda Balgo râ beduo,47 Deshû Dhiro khe châlâ :
Hâthe lela Dharma, rangûlâ dingi :48
380 These rascals have come, but they come empty-handed.'
Janki Dasto gave shrewd advice,
In his left-hand he took a huge stone and cast it into the court-yard.
Seeing this Rânâ Nûp Sain bit his finger, (saying):
'No, they are not rascals, who live at Koți.' 385 In the court-yard at Jungâ he made a shrewd resolve:
(Said the Rânâ:) Our officials only know how to eat,
'O Dharma Palânî, get thee to Deshû: For four or five days keep the Rajâ begniled.' Dharma will speak like a great man, 390 What excnse shall I make for going to Deshû dhâr?'
'Bring a book from the treasury, Dharmâ will place it in his waist belt,
He will put a sacred thread round his neck, and mark a long tilak on his forehead' (said the Rânâ),
'In the guise of a panda of Balg, Dharmâ will go to Deshû dhár,
In his hand he will carry a painted staff.'
