With a complexion like that of pure gold, possessed of a prominent nose and large eyes, and endued with a slender make, that husband of mine is known among people by the name of Yudhishthira, the son of Dharma and the foremost of the Kuru race. That virtuous prince of men granteth life to even a foe that yields.
"Sir," saith she, "Right eath, for the letters are sealed within that tell his name and the name of him that slew him." The King granteth the damsel her will in such wise as she had asked of him. He hath received the coffer, then maketh her be set at meat and right richly honoured. When the King had eaten, the damsel cometh before him.
And all they that saw and heard of the Angelic life of Ioasaph, and of his love of God from his childhood upward, marvelled, and in all things glorified God that alway worketh together with them that love him, and granteth them exceeding great reward.
God, therefore, in such and other ways granteth great power unto artistic men. Although there be such talking of differences, still it is well known that all things that a man doth differ of their own nature one from another.

But if either of them be of any good calling and degree, and do challenge one another to fight, the judge granteth it; in which case they may not use public champions.

He granteth and giveth gold to his servants, He gave Heremod a helm and mail-coat, And Sigmund a sword to take.
If his matter be liked of, the king accepteth of his present, and granteth his request: if his sute he not liked of, he returneth with his present; for the king will not take it. By your money you lose much. The ships which come from Bengala, S. Thome, and Masulipatan, come to the bar of Nigrais and to Cosmin.
I will shut him up whence he will not break so long as he hears me nigh him. 'Do so then an' thou lovest me, mother Rees, and I will be here with the first of the darkness. 'An' I love thee, master Richard? Nay, but I do love thy good face and thy true words, be thou puritan or roundhead, or fanatic, or what evil name soever the wicked fashion of the times granteth to men to call thee.

Hast thou well improved what thou hast received already? When God gives to his people the grant of their desires, he doth it so as may be best for our advantage: as,
The period of human life there, O bull of the Bharata's race, is ten thousand years. Drinking the juice of the Kalamra they continue youthful for ever. On the south of Nila and the north of Nishadha, there is a huge Jamvu tree that is eternal. Adored by the Siddhas and Charanas, that sacred tree granteth every wish. After the name of that tree this division hath ever been called Jamvudwipa.
