Next he played for his horse, and once more Raja Sarkap called for his rat; but Dhol Raja, seeing the kitten keeping watch, was afraid. So Rasalu won the second stake, and took back Bhaunr, the Arab steed. Then Sarkap brought all his skill to bear on the third and last game, saying, "Oh moulded pieces! favour me to-day! For sooth this is a man with whom I play.
Then the kitten went and sat at the window through which the rat Dhol Raja used to come, and the game began. After a while, Sarkap, seeing Raja Rasalu was winning, called to his rat, but when Dhol Raja saw the kitten he was afraid, and would not go further. So Rasalu won, and took back his arms.
No paltry risk but life and death at stake; As Heaven does, so do, for Heaven's sake! So they began to play, whilst the women stood round in a circle, and the kitten watched Dhol Raja from the window. Then Sarkap lost, first his kingdom, then the wealth of the whole world, and lastly his head.
So the second game began, and once more Dhol Raja, the rat, upset the pieces; and Rasalu, losing the game, gave up his faithful steed. Then Bhaunr Iraqi, who stood by, found voice, and cried to his master 'I am born of the sea and of gold; Dear Prince! trust me now as of old.
Now he, forgetful of the dead man's warning, played with the dice given him by Raja Sarkap, besides which, Sarkap let loose his famous rat, Dhol Raja, and it ran about the board, upsetting the chaupur pieces on the sly, so that Rasalu lost the first game, and gave up his shining armour.

No paltry risk but life and death at stake; As Heaven does, so do, for Heaven's sake!" So they began to play, whilst the women stood round in a circle, and the kitten watched Dhol Raja from the window.
But he never even looked at them; and drawing the dice from his pocket, said to Sarkap, 'We have played with your dice all this time; now we will play with mine. Then the kitten went and sat at the window through which the rat Dhol Raja used to come, and the game began.
Then the second game began, and once more Dhol Raja, the rat, upset the pieces; and Rasalu, losing the game, gave up his faithful steed. Then Bhaunr, the Arab steed, who stood by, found voice, and cried to his master, "Sea-born am I, bought with much gold; Dear Prince! trust me now as of old.
