the Pigambaras lived together in the Pigambara house, and
prayed to their god to quench the fire of the city consumed
by evil deeds, even as by a forest fire, with the water of their
good acts.
APPENDIX C.
The good country of Kashmíra is adorned by the vedas
with their six angas, and the vedántas, and the well
arranged siddhántas, by logic and grammar, by the
puránas, by the mantras, and by the six schools of philo-
sophy; by the followers of Shiva and of Vishnu, by the
worshippers of the sun, by the Buddhists with their paintings
and viháras and mathas; by the vine, and the saffron, the
grains, and the sháli rice, and by fragrant flowers; by the
puránas, and the shrutis and the tarkashástras; by the
Brahmaná worshippers of fire, and by the Bráhmanas devoted
to contemplation, austerities, prayers, and anxious for ablu-
tion and worship; by kotis of nágas, by Hari and Hara; and
by the Gandharvvas and the Vidyádharas. Here the water
is cool like the amrita of heaven. In this country there
are forty-five images of Mahádeva, sixty of Vishnu, three
of Brahmá, and twenty-two of Shakti which are well known;
they have neither beginning nor end; and there are Níla and
other serpents seven hundred in number, and fourteen kotis
of good men who live in shrines.
The hero Arjjuna, brother of Yudhishthira, was the leader
of eighteen armies at Hastinápura. After he had conquered
the whole world he feared that his valour would rust, so he
went to the nether world. There he soon conquered the cities
of the Nágas and desisted from making further wars. He ob-
tained the daughter of the Nága and there spent a year in
enjoyment. Long time elapsed after his return from the nether
world, and he again set out for the conquest of foreign coun-
tries; but was killed in a battle by his own son. When how-
ever his wife came to know of this, she soon brought him
back to life; he was glad to see the prowess of his son, and
he returned with him to Hastinápura. Now in the
course of time Arjjuna was taken away from the world,
and his two sons Parikshit and Vabruváhana divided the
whole kingdom between themselves, and kept posses-

431

sion of it. After Vabruváhana had lived for one hun-
dred and fifty years, he left, during the performance
of a yajna, his eighty-four heroic sons and thousands of
their sons, turned a devotee, and went back to the house
of his mother's father. Those he left behind became almost
mad with excess of strength, quarrelled among them-
selves, oppressed the people, and. went to excesses. Proud
on account of their strength, they were cursed by their
father for disobedience, and for their own destruction they
oppressed their subjects by means of soldiers.
Now some merciful saint was passing along the sky, he
saw the oppression of the people, and soon brought it to the
notice of the Great Being. Then the voice of a being
without form was heard from the sky, saying :—"There
is a person in the midst of the sea, he is like Yama and
holds a sword." Then the saint brought that person who
was brought up in Roma country. He rode upon a horse,
and it was by his sword that the oppression was re-
moved This personage, this great king, this conqueror of
all living things was surrounded by his friends and com-
panions, but was not seen by any. The Creator brings
about the births and deaths of those whom he creates for
some incomparable and extraordinary end, and in an
extraordinary manner. Fo example, who knows whence
the sun, which gives light to the three `worlds, rises, or
where it sets.
Pártha was born in the family of this person, but having
incurred the anger of his father, he went to a distant place
and built Gahvarapura in the Panchagahvara country. Kuru
Sháha was born in the family of Pártha ; he conquered the
whole of the north and of the west, and built an auspicious
temple named Dhanus. His son Táhirála was graced with
three eyes, and had the peculiar virtue of getting whatever
he wished for. He was devoid of avarice, and he knew the
past, the present, and the future ; and was under the in-
fluence of good fortune. He was very powerful, kind, and
munificent ; he always spent his time in devotion, and he
knew all the shástras. Kashmíra is the kingdom under the
protection of this powerful being, though it is governed by.
others. Whenever therefore a foreign sovereign seeks to
do mischief to the kings of Kashmíra, Táhirála destroys him.
Know that the country of Kashmíra is Párvvati, and its

432
king is born of a part of Hara, and Táhirála had three
eyes, as if because this fact may be believed by the people.
He had no enemy, and he was enemy to no one. By his reli-
gious austerities he removed the evils which proceeded
from the gods. Any king who does not bestow a high post
to one born in the family of Táhirála must sacrifice his own
prosperity. Twice or thrice Táhirála heard a voice from
the sky telling him to accept the sovereignty of Kashmira,
and to give it to his very wise son Sháhamera, for it is said'
in the veda that a person's son is his soul.
This is the account of the dynasty of Táhirála.

• The period of the reign of this king is stated to be 9 years. This
  appears to be a mistake, for we find him reigning till the year 89. (vide
  page 343). He must have reigned for 27 years.
  † Or 7 years calculated by the date of his ascending the throne
  and that of his death as given in the text.
  ‡ Names marked thus (‡) are those of the governors of Akbar.
