O prince of prowess incapable of being baffled, is the well-known region of Vatikhanda, which, although adjacent to the gate of Videha, lieth on the north of it. And O bull among men, there is another very remarkable thing connected with this place, namely, that on the waning of every yuga, the god Siva, having the power to assume any shape at will, may be seen with Uma and his followers.
“Aué!” cried Uma, and began to clap her hands; but I caught one of them in mine. “And the second thing that he would do,” said I, “if he was what I would call a man and you would call a man, Mr.
I heard the names of Adams and Case and of Randall—Randall the oftenest—and the word “poison,” or something like it, and a native word that he said very often. I went home, repeating it to myself. “What does fussy-ocky mean?” I asked of Uma, for that was as near as I could come to it. “Make dead,” said she. “The devil it does!” says I. “Did ever you hear that Case had poisoned Johnnie Adams?”
Then the lord of all the dwellers of heaven, the deity of blazing splendour having his abode on mountain-breasts, the husband of Uma, the god of passions under complete control, the source of all blessings, Bhava gave unto Arjuna, that foremost of men, the great bow called Gandiva, destructive of Danavas and Pisachas.

After Himavat had promised the hand of Uma to Mahadeva, the great Rishi Bhrigu, approaching Himavat, addressed him, saying, 'Give this daughter of thine unto me in marriage. Himavat replied unto him, saying, 'Rudra is the bridegroom already selected by me for my daughter. Angry at this reply, Bhrigu said, 'Since thou refusest my suit for the hand of thy daughter and insultest me thus, thou shalt no longer abound with jewels and gems. To this day, in consequence of the Rishi's words, the mountains of Himavat have not any jewels and gems.
Brief references to tatu will also be found in the writings of Burns, Brooke Low, MacDougall, De Crespigny, Hatton, St. John, Witti, and others, but notices of all these will be found in Mr. Ling Roth's volumes.

"No good," said he. "Too much devil he stop there." "Oho!" says I, "got-um plenty devil, that bush?" "Man devil, woman devil; too much devil," said my friend. "Stop there all-e-time. Man he go there, no come back." I thought if this fellow was so well posted on devils and spoke of them so free, which is not common, I had better fish for a little information about myself and Uma.
However, Case never set up to be soft, only to be square and hearty, and a man all round; and, to tell the truth, he puzzled me entirely. I went home and asked Uma if she were a Popey, which I had made out to be the native word for Catholics. “E le ai!” says she. She always used the native when she meant “no” more than usually strong, and, indeed, there’s more of it. “No good Popey,” she added.
There the mighty and worshipful god of great puissance, accompanied by his consort Uma, and armed with his trident, surrounded by wild goblins of many sorts, pursuing his random wish or fancy, constantly resides in the shade of giant forest trees, or in the caves, or on the rugged peaks of the great mountain.
