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

KINGS OF KASHMÍRA. 383
the sun and the moon would fall and sink into the sea.
Dauluta Chakkaka, on account of this curse, became
bereft of prosperity.
At this time Homāya, whose feet were brushed by
the crowns of kings bowing to him, became the emperor
of the world. He had quenched the great fire of a civil
war, but poverty, like jungle fire, oppressed the
hearts of his people, and it was not quenched. This
king had an enemy named Ajahomāya who meditated
taking shelter in an inaccessible country and he thought
of coming to Kashmīra; for here Homāya would
not be able to assail him. Now when with this
intention king Ajahomāya came to Kashmīra he had to
fight a battle with the people of this country on the
top of a hill; and the Kashmīrians who dwelt on
the mountains totally destroyed his army. This king
Ajahomāya was, at the time when Nājoka ruled the
country of Kashmīra, like a living fire that surrounded
all sides.
Then king Habhebha reigned for one month, when
Gāja Khāna, out of cupidity, usurped the throne.
Let the great warrior, the victorious Gāja Shāha,
the ornament of the world,—he who had distressed the
enemies, who had in battle held the sword of death,—
the great leader, the life of the world, the giver of good
to the humble, the accomplished, who looked graceful
in the kingdom, the beaming, the one versed in literature,
and the benefactor of the people, be always triumphant !
