He therefore wrote a letter to pretty Padmini requesting her to surrender the stronghold, adding that if she did not make it over to him, he would cut off the head of her beloved rajah, Jai Mall. The courageous Amazon replied that so far as she was concerned Rajah Jai Mall was already dead, while to take his place there were within the fort other braver and stronger warriors. They counted this as the day on which the siege had commenced, and were determined to fight on while life endured. Never would they yield. - [Previous: 60.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.2.5) - [Next: 60.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.2.7) - [Up: 60.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.2.6) · Pramāṇa
