As they were coming, Kunda, seeing Nagendra from afar, suddenly stood still like one stunned. Her feet refused to move; she stood looking at him with eyes full of astonishment. Champa asked, "Why do you stand thus?" Kunda, pointing with her finger, said, "It is he!" "He! Who?" said Champa. "He whom last night my mother pictured in the heavens." Then Champa also stood frightened and astonished.
Arthapâla, son of Kâmapâla, one of the nine companions of Râjahansa. Arthapati, a merchant at Champa, who wished to marry Kulapâlika. Aryaketu, a minister and friend of Visruta. Asura, a general term for various supernatural beings not regarded as gods, but in general hostile to them, nearly the same as the jins or genii of the "Arabian Nights."
One evening after dinner, when we were sitting in the dingy little back room on Champa Street that served us as an office, A. M. Stevenson "Big Steve" politician and attorney for the Denver City Tramway Company, came shouldering in to see us a heavy-jowled, heavy-waisted, red-faced bulk of good-humour looking as if he had just walked out of a political cartoon. "Hello, boys," he said jovially.
At first it had the disadvantage that it had a vegetation period of a hundred days. But soon, the Chinese developed a quick-growing Champa rice, and the speediest varieties took only sixty days from transplantation into the fields to the harvest. This made it possible to grow two rice harvests instead of only one and more than doubled the production.
Following the course of the Ganges, and descending eastward for eighteen yojanas, he found on the southern bank the great kingdom of Champâ, with topes reared at the places where Buddha walked in meditation by his vihâra, and where he and the three Buddhas, his predecessors, sat. There were monks residing at them all.
But he had meant to do it without taking any risk. His idea was to pretend to be his friend, push a gun into his stomach, and down him before he could move. Now by his folly he had to take a fighting chance. Dave Roush, to save his own skin, had pushed him into danger. All this was quite clear to him now, and he raged at the knowledge. Champa, too, was at another disadvantage.
Imagine that my boat is ready at the landing fully laden. Now think well, mother, before you say what I shall bring for you when I come back. Mother, do you want heaps and heaps of gold? There, by the banks of golden streams, fields are full of golden harvest. And in the shade of the forest path the golden <i>champa</i> flowers drop on the ground.
The accomplisher of his preceptor's behest, having obtained them, he felt great delight and set out speedily for the city of Champa adorned with festoons of Champaka flowers. As he proceeded, he saw on his way a human couple moving in a circle hand in hand. One of them made a rapid step and thereby destroyed the cadence of the movement. For this reason, O king, a dispute arose between them.
Perhaps the most important innovation, however, was the introduction of rice from Indo-China's kingdom Champa in 1012 into Fukien from where it soon spread. This rice had three advantages over ordinary Chinese rice: it was drought-resistant and could, therefore, be planted in areas with poor or even no irrigation. It had a great productivity, and it could be sown very early in the year.
In desperate haste to be gone, Champa released the child a moment to tighten one of the bands. A voice called to her. "Run, Kittie." To the casual eye the child was all knobby legs and hair ribbons. She scudded for the stable, sobbing as she ran. At sound of that voice Mysterious Pete leaped to the saddle and whirled his horse. He was too late.
