Rai Sanyo says: "Moral principles are like the sun and the moon; they cannot be monopolized by any one country. In every land there are parents and children, rulers and ruled, husbands and wives. Where these relations exist, there also filial piety and affection, loyalty and righteousness may naturally be found.
Then news arrived that the Fort was holding out, and Rai Durlabh Ram was ordered to advance. Again there came a false report that the Fort had fallen. Law knew Rai Durlabh was a coward, and his whole reliance was on the second in command, Mir Madan: "a capable officer, and one who would have attacked the enemy with pleasure." This Mir Madan is said to have been a Hindu convert to Muhammadanism.
Will your honour give me a trifle towards making one up?" "No, I won't; if you belonged to this village you would know that I cannot afford to fling money about. My expenses are enormous!" "Now, please, don't refuse me, Rái Bahádur; surely you can spare a couple of rupees to a poor Brahman!" Samarendra was exasperated by the man's importunity. I won't give you anything!"
In due time the Queen's birthday came, and Nabendu's name was not found in the list of Rai Bahadurs. He received an invitation from Labanya for that evening. When he arrived there, Labanya with great pomp and ceremony presented him with a robe of honour, and with her own hand put a mark of red sandal paste on the middle of his forehead.
Except the Creator, who could enter into that child's heart and discern the cause of his crying? The unfortunate Srish Chandra, left to his own resources, took some food to Nagendra, who said: "I do not want food. Sit down, I have much to say to you; for that I came hither." He then related all that he had heard from Ram Kristo Rai, and detailed his designs for the future.
The great Japanese historian, Rai Sanyo, compared the Bakufu of that time to a tree beautiful outwardly but worm-eaten at the core, and in the classical work, Taiheiki, the state of affairs is thus described: The Dengaku mime was then in vogue among all classes in Kyoto.
My chief hermitage is in Serampore, on Rai Ghat Lane. I am visiting my mother here for only a few days." I wondered at God's intricate play with His devotees. Serampore is but twelve miles from Calcutta, yet in those regions I had never caught a glimpse of my guru. Here too the feet of Buddha, Shankaracharya and other Yogi Christs had blessed the soil. "You will come to me in four weeks."
One sees there more than a thousand elephants, in their size resembling mountains and in their form resembling devils. One might seek in vain throughout the whole of Hindustan to find a more absolute RAI; for the monarchs of this country bear the title of RAI.
"He isn't going to grow a tail," said Labanya, "by becoming a Rai Bahadur, is he? Why should you feel so very humiliated?" "Oh, no, sister dear," replied Arunlekha, "I am prepared to be anything but not a Rai-Baha-durni." The fact was that in her circle of acquaintances there was one Bhutnath Babu, who was a Rai Bahadur, and that explained her intense aversion to that title.
But the punitive measures taken by General Dyer, Col. Frank Johnson, Col. O'Brien, Mr. Bosworth Smith, Rai Shri Ram Sud, Mr. Malik Khan and other officers were out of all proportional to the crime of the people and amounted to wanton cruelty and inhumanity and almost unparalleled in modern times.
