War with Prithirāj.—“ The Chauhan is encamped on the plains of Mahoba ; Narsingh and Birsingh have fallen, Sirswa is given to the flames, and the kingdom of Parmal laid waste by the Chauhan. For one month a truce has been obtained : while to you I am sent for aid in his griefs. Listen, O sons of Bannaphar ; sad have been the days of Malandevi since you left Mahoba ! Oft she looks towards Kanauj ; and while she recalls you to mind, tears gush from her eyes and she exclaims, ‘ The fame of the Chandel is departing ’; but when gone, O sons of Jasraj, great will be your self-accusing sorrow : yet, think of Mahoba.”
