1.18.5

There was very great affection between the two, (and they) had a conversation. The ladies of the Badshah's harem looked at the Raje through the latticed window and were much astonished. The Badshah was highly pleased, for three hours he listened to the stories of the Raje's heroism. Then he presented some ornaments set with jewels, robes, horses, and elephants to the Raje and to all his men, (and) dismissed them. The Raje and the Badshah descended from the palace, and the Raje went to his quarters. Raghunath Pant and Hambir Rav and other Sardars had been left below the palace. Taking them in his company, the Raje came to his place. On his way back he (again) distributed alms among the citizens. After the Raje had left, the Badshah was convinced that he was honest, and had protected him (the Badshah), (and the Raje) had respected his oath. Wondering in this manner, the Badshah gave some rewards to Prahlad Pant (saying), "You are honest." Saying so and exalting (him) the Badshah sent Prahlad Pant to the Raje. The next day Madanna Pant took the Raje to his house to be his guest. And getting the dishes prepared by their Lady Mother, [88] Madanna Pant and Akanna Pant sat near the Raje and (saw) him feeding. All other men of the Raje's party were also fed, and after presenting (to the Raje and his party) ornaments, robes, elephants and horses, (Madanna and Akanna) conducted them to their place.
