3.2.4

When the news of the arrival in that country of Kalapahar with the Imperial forces, came to the ear of the Rajah, he built the fort of Barahbati, which is a strong fort, for his security, and entrenched himself in it. And placing proper forces for encountering the enemy, he himself, according to his old habit, went to sleep. Kalapahar, by successive and numerous fightings, vanquished the Rajah's forces, and brought to his subjection the entire dominion of Odisah (Orissa), so much so that he carried off the Rani together with all household goods and chattels. Notwithstanding all this, from fear of being killed, no one was bold to wake up this drunkard of the sleep of negligence, so that Kalapahar had his hands free. After completing the subjugation of the entire country, and investing the Fort of Barahbati, which was his (the Rajah's) place of sleep, Kalapahar engaged in fighting. The officers and employes of the Rajah summoning his clarion-players communicated the news of the whole affair through the reed of the clarion. When the news about Kalapahar went to the ear of that fortune-sleeper on the bed of sleep, which is brother of death, considering this affair as the event of the Day of Judgment, like the sleepers in graves, from the sound of the trumpet, sprang confounded from the sleep of oblivion, and making the movement of a slaughtered animal, devoted his head to the swords of the warriors of Islam.
