Then she took the lid off the iron pot and showed him the locust eating grass inside; and Chando had nothing to say. CLXII. The Sikhar Raja. Santals say that the Sikhar Raja was a bonga and this is the story they tell about him.
What draughts of water we would drink," and the black opened his mouth as if to pour some of the longed-for fluid down it. Sayd imitated the movement of his lips as he translated what was said. "Chando! Chando!" repeated Ned. "Ask him if he had a father or mother living when he was carried off to become a slave." "I had a mother, but whether or not she escaped from the slaves I cannot say.
When the Jogi saw this he wished that he had picked up three or four stones instead of only two and he understood that Chando had given him the gold because he helped the poor man. This is why no money lender will refuse a loan if one is asked for for the performance of a marriage and money so borrowed is always paid back punctually.
This is the answer to the puzzle, but Chando prevented your guessing it, because you unjustly took the poor man's cow and as a lesson to you that he is lord of all, of the poor and weak as well as of Rajas and Princes." When the jackal concluded all present cried out that the answer was a perfect one; but the Raja said "I don't think much of that; I know a lot of stories like that myself."
"And very thankful we are to find you," exclaimed Mr Hanson. "You could not have arrived more opportunely, for never since I have been in Africa have I been in so great a danger of losing my life; and now I want to break the news I have to communicate to my faithful friend Tom Baraka," said Ned. In the meantime Chando, prompted by curiosity to look at the white men, had descended the hill.
They were expecting the return of the hunters, when Sambroko and Chando were seen rushing at headlong speed towards the camp, where they arrived almost breathless, exclaiming "To arms! to arms! The enemy are upon us. No time to lose; before many minutes they will be here. We saw them coming in this direction." Sayd, on further questioning the two hunters, was convinced that their report was true.
They had encamped earlier than usual one day in order to allow Sambroko, Chando, and the other hunters to go out in search of game. In the meantime huts were built, wood collected, and fires were lighted to be ready for cooking it.
Once upon a time there was a woman whose husband died while she was pregnant, and she was very unhappy and used to pray daily to Singh Chando to give her a man child in place of her husband; she was left well off and among her property were three gold coins, and as she was afraid of these being stolen she decided to place them in the care of the village headman.
He asked her if she knew how to choose a wife and also what sort of cattle to buy, and she said that she did not know; her husband had not told her this. So the youth said that he would go to Singh Chando and ask. His mother washed his clothes for him and gave him food for the journey and he set out.
And Chando heard her prayer and lifted her palki up into the air and preserved her, but all those who were left on the ground were swallowed up by the Rakhases; when the day dawned not one was to be seen.
