Maharana Kumbha.
when the Charan got up and confronting the
Maharana, recited the following Chhappaya
(short poem).
जद घर पर जोवती दीठ नागोर धरंती ।
गायत्री संग्रहण देख मन मांहीं डरंती ॥
सुरकोटी तेतीस आण नीरंता चारो ।
नहिं चरंत पीवंत मनह करती हंकारो ॥
कुंभेण राण हणिया कलम, आजस उर डर उतरिय ।
तिण दीह द्वार शंकर तणैं, कामधेनु तंडव करिय ॥ १ ॥
"Seeing that cows were killed in Nagor,
gāyatri (cow) was in great fright. Thirty
three crores of gods used to bring grass and
water for her, but she neither ate nor drank
anything. When Rana Kumbha after killing
Mussalmans (conquering Nagor) has given
protection to the cows, then the cow has
became delighted and dances with joy at the
door of Shankar (Mahadeva)."
The Maharana on hearing the recitation,
said to the reciter: "You are no Rajput: you
are a Charan, but we are very pleased with
you." The man confessed that he was a
Charan, and interceding for his brethren,
begged the Maharana to permit their return
