"'Very well, child, come early, said Surájmul. "So Prithvi Raj came early and put his Uncle's whole army to flight. But that was not enough. He must be driven from the kingdom. So when Prithvi heard that broken army was hiding in the depths of a mighty forest, there he went with his bravest horsemen, and suddenly, on a dark night, sprang into their midst.
Then there was great shouting and fighting; and soon they came together, uncle and nephew, striking at each other, yet never hating, though they must make battle because of Chitor and the Kingdom of Mewar. "To none would Suráj yield, but only to Prithvi, bravest of the brave. So suddenly in a loud voice he cried 'Stay the fight, nephew. If I am killed, no great matter.
But you made me." And the elders, watching with amused approbation, had no inkling that the words were spoken not by Roy Sinclair but by Prithvi Raj.
Tara's head nudged her shoulder. "Go on please," she murmured, resenting interruptions. So Lilámani still looking at Roy told how Prithvi Raj went on his last quest to Mount Abu, to punish the chief, who had married his sister and was ill-treating her. "In answer to her cry he went; and climbing her palace walls in the night, he gave sharp punishment to that undeserving prince.
"ROY, SON OF MY HEART, This is good-bye but not altogether good-bye. Between you and me that word can never be spoken. So I am writing this, in my foolish weakness, to beg of you by the love between us, too deep for words not to let heart and courage be quite broken because of this big sorrow. You were brave in battle, my Prithvi Raj. Be still more brave for me.
There Prithvi Raja reigned, who still lives in Indian minstrelsy as the embodiment of Hindu chivalry, equally gallant and daring in love and in war the last to make a stand in northern India against the successive waves of Mahomedan conquest which Central Asia had begun to pour in upon India in 1001, with the first of Mahmud Ghazni's seventeen raids.
