1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>A man hating maiden. The ever worthy and famous King

2
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Vakramaditya had a painter named Nagarasmamen, who enjoyed the revenues

3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:16.199
<v Speaker 1>of a hundred villages and surpassed Visvakarman. That painter used

4
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:18.800
<v Speaker 1>every two or three days to paint a picture of

5
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:21.679
<v Speaker 1>a girl and give it as a present to the king,

6
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:27.039
<v Speaker 1>taking care to exemplify different types of beauty. Now, once

7
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>on a time it happened that the painter had, because

8
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a feast was going on, forgotten to paint the required

9
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>girl for the king. And when the day forgiving the

10
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 1>present arrived, the painter remembered and was bewildered, saying to himself, alas,

11
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>what can I give to the king? And at that

12
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 1>moment a traveler come from Afar, suddenly approached him and

13
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>placed a book in his hand and went off somewhere. Quickly,

14
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the painter, out of curiosity, opened the book and saw

15
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>within a picture of a girl on camp. Inasmuch as

16
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>the girl was of wonderful beauty, no sooner did he

17
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>see her picture than he took it and gave it

18
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>to the king, rejoicing that so far from having no

19
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 1>picture to present that day, he had obtained such an

20
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 1>exceedingly beautiful one. But the king, as soon as he

21
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 1>saw it, was astonished and said to him, my good fellow,

22
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>this is not your painting. This is the painting of Visvakarman,

23
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>For how could a mere mortal be skillful enough to

24
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 1>paint such beauty. When the painter heard this, he told

25
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>the king exactly what had taken place. Then the King

26
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>kept ever looking at the picture of the girl, and

27
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.799
<v Speaker 1>never took his eyes off it. And one night he

28
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.959
<v Speaker 1>saw in a dream a girl exactly like her, but

29
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.079
<v Speaker 1>in another land. But as he eagerly rushed to embrace her,

30
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 1>who was eager to meet him, the night came to

31
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.719
<v Speaker 1>an end, and he was woke up by the watchman.

32
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>When the king awoke, he was so angry at the

33
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>interruption of his delightful interview with that maiden that he

34
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 1>banished that watchman from the city. And he said to himself,

35
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 1>to think that a traveler should bring a book, and

36
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>that in it there should be the painted figure of

37
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 1>a girl, and that I should, in a dream behold

38
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 1>this same girl, apparently alive. All this elaborate dispensation of

39
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>destiny makes me think that she must be a real maiden,

40
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 1>but I do not know in what land she lives,

41
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>how am I to obtain her. Full of such reflections,

42
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 1>the king took pleasure in nothing and burned with the

43
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.319
<v Speaker 1>fever of love, so that his attendants were full of anxiety,

44
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 1>and the warder bad Rayuda, asked the afflicted king in

45
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>private the cause of his grief, whereupon he spoke as follows. Listen,

46
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you, my friend, so much at any rate.

47
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>You know that that a painter gave me the picture

48
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 1>of a girl, and I fell asleep thinking on her.

49
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 1>And I remember that in my dream I crossed the

50
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 1>sea and reached and entered a very beautiful city. There

51
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I saw many armed maidens in front of me, and they,

52
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>as soon as they saw me, raised a tumultuous cry

53
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:17.319
<v Speaker 1>of kill, kill. Then a certain female Acedik came and

54
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.080
<v Speaker 1>with great precipitation made me enter her house, and briefly

55
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>said to me, this, my son, here is the man

56
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 1>hating Princess Malaiavati come this way, diverting herself as she pleases,

57
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 1>and the moment she sees a man, she makes these

58
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>maidens of hers kill him. So I brought you in

59
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 1>here to save your life. When the female Asidic had

60
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>said this, she immediately made me put on female attire,

61
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>and I submitted to that, knowing that it was not

62
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 1>lawful to slay those maidens. But when the princess entered

63
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>into the house with her maidens, I looked at her,

64
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 1>and lo, she was the very lady that had been

65
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:00.159
<v Speaker 1>shown me in a picture. And I said to myself,

66
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>fortunate am I in that, after first seeing this lady

67
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>in a picture, I now behold her again in flesh

68
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>and blood, dear as my life. In the Meanwhile, the princess,

69
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 1>at the head of her maidens, said to that female acetic,

70
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 1>we saw some male enter here. The acetic showed me

71
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.199
<v Speaker 1>and answered, I know of no male. Here is my

72
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>sister's daughter, who is with me as a guest. Then

73
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Speaker 1>the princess, seeing me, although I was disguised as a woman,

74
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 1>forgot her dislike of men, and was at once overcome

75
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 1>by love. She remained for a moment with every hair

76
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>on her body erect, motionless, as if in thought, being

77
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>so to speak, nailed to the spot at once with

78
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 1>arrows by love, who had spied his opportunity, And in

79
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.319
<v Speaker 1>a moment the princess said to the acetic, Then, noble lady,

80
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>why should not your sister's daughter be my guest? Also,

81
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 1>let her come to my palace. I will send her

82
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>back duly honored. Saying this, she took me by the

83
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 1>hand and led me away to her palace. And I

84
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>remember I discerned her intention and consented and went there,

85
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.879
<v Speaker 1>and that sly old female ascetic gave me leave to depart.

86
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 1>Then I remained there with that princess, who was diverting

87
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>herself with the amusement of marrying her maidens to one another.

88
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 1>And so forth her eyes were fixed on me, and

89
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 1>she would not let me out of her sight for

90
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>an instant, and no occupation pleased her in which I

91
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:37.399
<v Speaker 1>did not take part. Then those maidens, I remember, made

92
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.879
<v Speaker 1>the princess a bride and me her husband, and married

93
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 1>us in Sport. And when we had been married, we

94
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.639
<v Speaker 1>entered at night the bridal chamber, and the princess fearlessly

95
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>threw her arms round my neck. And then I told

96
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 1>her who I was, and embraced her, and delighted at

97
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 1>having attained her object, she looked at me, and then

98
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.920
<v Speaker 1>remained a long time with her eyes back fixed on

99
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the ground, and at that moment that villain of a

100
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.480
<v Speaker 1>watchman woke me up, So bad Rayuda, the upshot of

101
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>the whole matter is that I can no longer live

102
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.879
<v Speaker 1>without that Maliavati, whom I have seen in a picture

103
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 1>and in a dream. When the King said this, the

104
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.639
<v Speaker 1>warder bad Rayuda perceived that it was a true dream,

105
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.279
<v Speaker 1>and he consoled the monarch and said to him, if

106
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.439
<v Speaker 1>the King remembers it all exactly, let him draw that

107
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>city on a piece of canvas, in order that some

108
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.720
<v Speaker 1>expedient may be devised in this matter. The moment the

109
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 1>king heard this suggestion of bad Rayuda's, he proceeded to

110
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.639
<v Speaker 1>draw that splendid city on a piece of canvas and

111
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.519
<v Speaker 1>all the scene that took place there. Then the warder

112
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 1>at once took the drawing and had a new monastery

113
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.839
<v Speaker 1>made and hung it up there on the wall. And

114
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.319
<v Speaker 1>he directed that in relief houses attached to the monastery,

115
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 1>a quantity of food, with pairs of garments and gold

116
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>should be given to bar guards coming from distant countries.

117
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.439
<v Speaker 1>And he gave this order to the dwellers in the monastery.

118
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>If any one comes here who knows the city represented

119
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>here in a picture, let me be informed of it.

120
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.399
<v Speaker 1>In the meanwhile, the fierce elephant of the rainy season,

121
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 1>with irresistible loud, deep thunder roar, and long kataka tusks,

122
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>came down upon the forest of the heats, a forest,

123
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the breezes of which were scented with the perfume of

124
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 1>the jasmine, in which travelers sat down on the ground

125
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.399
<v Speaker 1>in the shade, and trumpet flowers bloomed. At that time,

126
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the forest fire of separation of that king, Vacromaditya, began

127
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.879
<v Speaker 1>to burn more fiercely, fanned by the eastern breeze. Then

128
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>the following cries were heard among the ladies of his court. Harilata,

129
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:52.959
<v Speaker 1>bring ice, Chitrungi, sprinkle him with sandal wood juice, Patreleca,

130
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>make a bed cool with lotus leaves, Canderpassenna, fan him

131
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 1>with plant and leaves. And in course of time, the

132
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:05.319
<v Speaker 1>cloudy season, terrible with lightning, passed away for that king,

133
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.279
<v Speaker 1>but the fever of love burning with the sorrow of

134
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.639
<v Speaker 1>separation did not pass away. Then the autumn, with her

135
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:17.319
<v Speaker 1>open lotus face and smile of unclosed flowers, came vocal

136
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:20.519
<v Speaker 1>with the cries of swans seeming to utter this command

137
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Let travelers advance on their journey. Let pleasant hidings be

138
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:29.879
<v Speaker 1>brought about absent dear ones, happy, may their merry meetings

139
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.919
<v Speaker 1>be on a certain day in that season, a bard

140
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.799
<v Speaker 1>who had come from a distance, of the name of

141
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 1>San Veracidi, having heard the fame of that monastery built

142
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:44.039
<v Speaker 1>by the warder, entered it to get food. After he

143
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>had been fed and presented with a pair of garments,

144
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.840
<v Speaker 1>he saw that painting on the wall of the monastery.

145
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.240
<v Speaker 1>When the bard had carefully scanned the city delineated there,

146
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 1>he was astonished and said, I wonder who can have

147
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>drawn this city? For I alone have seen it. I

148
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:04.000
<v Speaker 1>am certain, and no other, and here it is drawn

149
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>by some second person. When the inhabitants of the monastery

150
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:12.039
<v Speaker 1>heard that, they told Badrayuda. Then he came in person

151
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.240
<v Speaker 1>and took that bard to the king. The king said

152
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:19.159
<v Speaker 1>to san Veracidi, have you really seen that city? Then

153
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:23.399
<v Speaker 1>san Verasidi gave him the following answer. When I was

154
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>wandering about the world, I crossed the sea that separates

155
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the isles and beheld that great city Malaiyapura. In that

156
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 1>city there dwells a king of the name of Malaya

157
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 1>Sinha and He has a matchless daughter named Maliavati, who

158
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 1>used to abhor males. But one night she somehow or

159
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.919
<v Speaker 1>others saw in a dream a great hero in a convent.

160
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.120
<v Speaker 1>The moment she saw him, that evil spirit of detestation

161
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>of the male sex fled from her mind, as if terrified.

162
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:57.679
<v Speaker 1>Then she took him to her palace, and in her

163
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:01.039
<v Speaker 1>dream married him, and entered with him the bridal chamber.

164
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.200
<v Speaker 1>And at that moment the night came to an end,

165
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.879
<v Speaker 1>and an attendant in her room woke her up. Then

166
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.279
<v Speaker 1>she banished that servant in her anger, and, thinking upon

167
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.679
<v Speaker 1>that dear one whom she had seen in her dream,

168
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.120
<v Speaker 1>seeing no way of escape, owing to the blazing fire

169
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 1>of separation, Utterly overpowered by love, she never rose from

170
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:24.519
<v Speaker 1>her couch, except to fall back upon it again with

171
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:29.399
<v Speaker 1>relaxed limbs. She was dumb, as if possessed by a demon,

172
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>as if stunned by a blow. For when her attendants

173
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.279
<v Speaker 1>questioned her, she gave them no answer. Then her father

174
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.039
<v Speaker 1>and mother came to hear of it and questioned her,

175
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.159
<v Speaker 1>and at last she was, with exceeding difficulty persuaded to

176
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:45.679
<v Speaker 1>tell them what happened to her in the dream. By

177
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the mouth of a confidential female friend. Then her father

178
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.320
<v Speaker 1>comforted her, but she made a solemn vow that if

179
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.080
<v Speaker 1>she did not obtain her beloved in six months, she

180
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>would enter the fire. And already five months are past.

181
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Who knows what will become of her. This is the

182
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 1>story that I heard about her in that city. When

183
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Sanvasiiti had told this story, which tallied so well with

184
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:12.159
<v Speaker 1>the king's own dream, the king was pleased at knowing

185
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the certainty of the matter, And bad Rayudah said to him,

186
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the business is as good as effected, for that king

187
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and his country own your paramounts supremacy. So let us

188
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 1>go there before the sixth month has passed away. When

189
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 1>the warder had said this, King Vakramaditia made him inform

190
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:32.759
<v Speaker 1>san Verasidi of all the circumstances connected with the matter,

191
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:36.039
<v Speaker 1>and honored him with a present of much wealth, and

192
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.679
<v Speaker 1>bade him show him the way. And then he seemed

193
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>to bequeath his own burning heat to the rays of

194
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.039
<v Speaker 1>the sun, his paleness to the clouds, and his thinness

195
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.159
<v Speaker 1>to the waters of the rivers, And, having become free

196
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>from sorrow, set out at once, escorted by a small force,

197
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.159
<v Speaker 1>for the dwelling place of his beloved. In course of time,

198
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 1>as he advanced, he crossed the sea and reached that city,

199
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:02.440
<v Speaker 1>and there he saw the people in front of it

200
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.120
<v Speaker 1>engaged in loud lamentation, And when he questioned them, he

201
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:10.960
<v Speaker 1>received this answer, the Princess Maliavati is here, as the

202
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.720
<v Speaker 1>period of six months is at an end, and she

203
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:17.440
<v Speaker 1>has not obtained her beloved, is preparing to enter the fire.

204
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Then the king went to the place where the pyre

205
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.399
<v Speaker 1>had been made ready. When the people saw him, they

206
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.960
<v Speaker 1>made way for him. And then the princess beheld that

207
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:29.759
<v Speaker 1>unexpected nectar rein to her eyes, and she said to

208
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.360
<v Speaker 1>her ladies in waiting, here is that beloved come, who

209
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 1>married me in a dream. So tell my father. Quickly

210
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.639
<v Speaker 1>they went and told this to her father. And then

211
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.720
<v Speaker 1>that king, delivered from his grief and filled with joy,

212
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:48.080
<v Speaker 1>submissively approached the sovereign. At that moment, the barred san Voracidi,

213
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.799
<v Speaker 1>who knew his time, lifted up his arm and chanted

214
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:55.200
<v Speaker 1>aloud this strain, Hail thou, that with the flame of

215
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.559
<v Speaker 1>thy valor, hast consumed the forest of the army of Demons,

216
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and melechas hail, King, Lord of the Seven Sea. Girt

217
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:07.039
<v Speaker 1>earth bride, Hail thou that hast imposed thy exceedingly heavy

218
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.639
<v Speaker 1>yoke on the bowed heads of all kings conquered by thee.

219
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Hail Vishamasila, Hail Vikramaditya, ocean of valor. When the bard

220
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:21.759
<v Speaker 1>said this, King Malaya Sinha knew that it was Vikramaditya

221
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:25.879
<v Speaker 1>himself that had come and embraced his feet. And after

222
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.879
<v Speaker 1>he had welcomed him, he entered his palace with him

223
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:33.639
<v Speaker 1>and his daughter Maliavati, thus delivered from death, And that

224
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.320
<v Speaker 1>king gave that daughter of his to King Vikramaditya, thinking

225
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.399
<v Speaker 1>himself fortunate in having obtained such a son in law.

226
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.759
<v Speaker 1>And King Vikramaditya, when he saw in his arms in

227
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:49.080
<v Speaker 1>flesh and blood, that Maliavati, whom he had previously seen

228
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>in a picture and in a dream, considered it a

229
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.360
<v Speaker 1>wonderful fruit of the wishing tree of Siva's favor. Then

230
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Vikramaditya took with him his wife Maliavati, like incarnation of bliss,

231
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and crossed the sea, resembling his long regretful separation, and

232
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.679
<v Speaker 1>being submissively waited upon at every step by kings with

233
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.759
<v Speaker 1>various presents in their hands returned to his own city, Ujayini,

234
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.519
<v Speaker 1>and on beholding there that might of his that satisfied

235
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>freely every kind of curiosity. What people were not astonished,

236
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>what people did not rejoice, what people did not make

237
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:27.240
<v Speaker 1>high festival,
