द्वितीय राजतरङ्गिणी (जोनराज - कल्हणोत्तर मध्यकालीन कश्मीर का प्रामाणिक इतिहास)

378 KINGS OF KASHMÍRA.
the Mārgapatis heard that their powerful enemy lay very
near to them, they soon placed their troops in the
neighbourhood of Jalagada. Then the noble minded
Riga Chakresha went to Kācha Chakra and to the chief
of the Mārgapatis, and by despatching messengers tried
to establish peace between the parties. "Let Kācha
Chakresha" he said "remain in the city, and the Mārga-
patis in Kramarājya, and I am equally inclined to both."
Thus he established peace between them.
Then the hero Kācha Chakresha brought over to
him his friends Jaita Chakresha, Malleka Dauluta, and
Ebhrāhma Khāna from among the army of the Mārga-
patis, and triumphantly went up to the city, and lived in
the house of Riga Chakra. In the illustrious Kāñchana
Chakrapati his name has its full significance, on account
of the gifts of gold that he gave, we have actually seen
the marks of petals of a lotus in the palm of your hand
which indicate your charity. Let your left hand continue
to do good to others for a thousand years! O chief of
of the Mārgapatis! the king of the seasons (spring) has
seen your white fame, and with a view to serve you in
every way, has joined the lord of the zodiac (sun), cele-
brating your triumph with garlands of Jasmine and
Mañchari flowers, and of the Karṇikāra buds; and
with the hum of the black-bees and the voice of kokilas.
All are happy at every act of yours. Let the season of
spring afford you objects pleasent to you!
So long as Kācha Chakra the arbiter in all things
