Then the Raja called for his two dogs Rauta and Paika and set them on the man and they tore him to death.
When she reached the burning place, she sang to the two dogs: "Build the pyre, Rauta and Paika! Alas! The dogs have bitten the jugi, Alas! They have chased and killed the jugi." So the two dogs built the pyre and lay the body on it. Then she ordered them to split more wood, singing: "Cut the wood, Rauta and Paika! Alas! The dogs have bitten the Jugi, Alas! They have chased and killed the jugi."
So they split more wood and then she told them to apply the fire, singing: "Light the fire, Rauta and Paika! Alas! The dogs have bitten the Jugi, Alas! they have chased and killed the jugi." When the pyre was in full blaze she suddenly said to the dogs "Look up, Rauta and Paika, see the stars are shining in the day time."
