# The Ramayana/Book I/Canto LVII: Tris'anku

Then with his heart consumed with woe, Still brooding on his overthrow By the great saint he had defied, At every breath the monarch sighed. Forth from his home his queen he led, And to a land far southward fled. There, fruit and roots his only food, He practised penance, sense-subdued, And in that solitary spot Four virtuous sons the king begot: Havishyand, from the offering named, And Madhushyand, for sweetness famed, Mahárath, chariot-borne in fight, And Dridhanetra strong of sight.
A thousand years had passed away, When Brahmá, Sire whom all obey, Addressed in pleasant words like these Him rich in long austerities: 'Thou by the penance, Kus'ik's son, A place 'mid royal saints hast won. Pleased with thy constant penance, we This lofty rank assign to thee.'
Thus spoke the glorious Lord most High Father of earth and air and sky, And with the Gods around him spread Home to his changeless sphere he sped. But Vis'vámitra scorned the grace, And bent in shame his angry face. Burning with rage, o'erwhelmed with grief, Thus in his heart exclaimed the chief: 'No fruit, I ween, have I secured By strictest penance long endured, If Gods and all the saints decree To make but royal saint of me.' Thus pondering, he with sense subdued, With sternest zeal his vows renewed.
Then reigned a monarch, true of soul, Who kept each sense in firm control; Of old Ikshváku's line he came, That glories in Tris'anku's name. Within his breast, O Raghu's child, Arose a longing, strong and wild, Great offerings to the Gods to pay, And win, alive, to heaven his way. His priest Vas'ishtha's aid he sought, And told him of his secret thought. But wise Vas'ishtha showed the hope Was far beyond the monarch's scope. Tris'anku then, his suit denied, Far to the southern region hied, To beg Vas'ishtha's sons to aid The mighty plan his soul had made. There King Tris'anku, far renowned, Vas'ishtha's hundred children found, Each on his fervent vows intent, For mind and fame preëminent. To these the famous king applied, Wise children of his holy guide. Saluting each in order due. His eyes, for shame, he downward threw, And reverent hands together pressed, The glorious company addressed: 'I as a humble suppliant seek Succour of you who aid the weak. A mighty offering I would pay, But sage Vas'ishtna answered, Nay. Be yours permission to accord, And to my rites your help afford. Sons of my guide, to each of you With lowly reverence here I sue; To each, intent on penance-vow, O Bráhmans, low my head I bow, And pray you each with ready heart In my great rite to bear a part, That in the body I may rise And dwell with Gods within the skies. Sons of rny guide, none else I see Can give what he refuses me. Ikshváku's children still depend Upon their guide most reverend; And you, as nearest in degree To him, my deities shall be!'
# The Ramayana/Book I/Canto LXIV: Rambhá

'A great emprise, O lovely maid, To save the Gods, awaits thine aid: To bind the son of Kus'ik sure, And take his soul with love's sweet lure.' Thus orderd by the Thousand-eyed The suppliant nymph in fear replied: 'O Lord of Gods, this mighty sage Is very fierce and swift to rage. I doubt not, he so dread and stern On me his scorching wrath will turn. Of this, my lord, am I afraid: Have mercy on a timid maid.' Her suppliant hands began to shake, When thus again Lord Indra spake: 'O Rambhá, drive thy fears away, And as I bid do thou obey. In Koïl's form, who takes the heart When trees in spring to blossom start, I, with Kandarpa for my friend, Close to thy side mine aid will lend.
Do thou thy beauteous splendour arm With every grace and winsome charm, And from his awful rites seduce This Kus'ik's son, the stern recluse.'
Lord Indra ceased. The nymph obeyed; In all her loveliest charms arrayed, With winning ways and witching smile She sought the hermit to beguile. The sweet note of that tuneful bird The saint with ravished bosom heard, And on his heart a rapture passed As on the nymph a look he cast. But when he heard the bird prolong His sweet incomparable song, And saw the nymph with winning smile, The hermit's heart perceiv'd the wile. And straight he knew the Thousand-eyed A plot against his peace had tried. Then Kus'ik's son indignant laid His curse upon the heavenly maid: 'Because thou wouldst my soul engage Who fight to conquer love and rage, Stand, till ten thousand years have flown, Ill-fated maid, transformed to stone. A Bráhman then, in glory strong, Mighty through penance stern and long, Shall free thee from thine altered shape; Thou from my curse shalt then escape.' But when the saint had cursed her so, His breast was burnt with fires of woe, Grieved that long effort to restrain His mighty wrath was all in vain. Cursed by the angry sage's power, She stood in stone that selfsame hour. Kandarpa heard the words he said, And quickly from his presence fled. His fall beneath his passion's sway Had reft the hermit's meed away. Unconquered yet his secret foes, The humbled saint refused repose: 'No more shall rage my bosom till, Sealed be my lips, my tongue be still. My very breath henceforth I hold Until a thousand years are told: Victorious o'er each erring sense, I'll dry my frame with abstinence, Until by penance duly done A Bráhman's rank be bought and won. For countless yearn, as still as death. I taste no food, I draw no breath, And as I toil my frame shall stand Unharmed by time's destroying hand.'

CHAPTER II
The Caliphate of ʿUmar ibn-al-Khaṭṭâb
Abu-ʿUbaid chief commander. When ʿUmar ibn-al-Khaṭṭâb was proclaimed caliph, he directed abu-ʿUbaid ibn-Masʿûd ibn-ʿAmr ibn-ʿUmair ibn-ʿAuf ibn-ʿUḳdah ibn-Ghiyarah ibn-ʿAuf ibn-Thaḳîf (who is identical with abu-l-Mukhtâr ibn-abi-ʿUbaid) to al-ʿIrâḳ with 1,000 men. Meanwhile, he wrote to al-Muthanna ibn-Ḥârithah, ordering him to receive abu-ʿUbaid and obey his word. In the company of abu-ʿUbaid, he sent Salîṭ ibn-Ḳais ibn-ʿAmr al-al-Anṣâri, saying to him, "Had it not been for the fact that thou art too hasty, I would have put thee in chief command. But warfare is a stubborn thing, and only the cautious man is fit for it."
Abu-ʿUbaid defeats Jâbân, al-Jâlînûs and other Persian chiefs. Abu-ʿUbaid marched forward and left no Arab tribe by which he passed without arousing its interest in the "holy war" and plunder. Thus, he was joined by a large host. On arriving in al-ʿUdhaib, he heard that Jâbân, the Persian, was at Tustar with a large body of men. Abu-ʿUbaid met Jâbân and put his troops to flight, taking some of them captive.
Thence abu-ʿUbaid proceeded to Durna in which there was assembled a body of Persians. These abu-ʿUbaid chased to Kaskar. He then advanced to meet al-Jâlînûs, ​who was at Bârûsma [or Mârûsma]; but ibn-al-Andarzʿazz made terms with him, agreeing to pay four dirhams on every person, provided abu-ʿUbaid should keep his way.
Abu-ʿUbaid sent al-Muthanna to Zandaward, and finding that its inhabitants had violated their covenant, al-Muthanna fought against them, won the victory and carried away [many] captives. Abu-ʿUbaid also sent ʿUrwah ibn-Zaid-al-Khail aṭ-Ṭâʾi to az-Zawâbi, with whose chief [dihḳân] me made terms similar to those made with Bârûsma.

​CIII. James Madison to Thomas Jefferson.
Philada. Sepr. 6. 1787.
As the Convention will shortly rise I should feel little scruple in disclosing what will be public here, before it could reach you, were it practicable for me to guard by Cypher against an intermediate discovery. But I am deprived of this resource by the shortness of the interval between the receipt of your letter of June 20, and the date of this. This is the first day which has been free from Committee service, both before & after the hours of the House, and the last that is allowed me by the time advertised for the sailing of the packet.
The Convention consists now as it has generally done of Eleven States. There has been no intermission of its Sessions since a house was formed; except an interval of about ten days allowed a Committee appointed to detail the general propositions agreed on in the House. The term of its dissolution cannot be more than one or two weeks distant. A Governmt. will probably be submitted to the people of the States, consisting of a president, cloathed with Executive power; a Senate chosen by the Legislatures, and another House chosen by the people of the States, jointly possessing the legislative power; and a regular judiciary establishment. The mode of constituting the Executive is among the few points not yet finally settled. The Senate will consist of two members from each State, and appointed sexennially. The other, of members appointed biennially by the people of the States, in proportion to their number. The Legislative power will extend to taxation, trade, and sundry other general matters. The powers of Congress will be distributed, according to their nature, among the several departments. The States will be restricted from paper money and in a few other instances. These are the outlines. The extent of them may perhaps surprize you. I hazard an opinion nevertheless that the plan, should it be adopted, will neither effectually answer its national object, not prevent the local mischiefs which everywhere excite disgusts agst. the State Governments. The grounds of this opinion will be the subject of a future letter. …
Nothing can exceed the universal anxiety for the event of the ​meeting here. Reports and conjectures abound concerning the nature of the plan which is to be proposed. The public however is certainly in the dark with regard to it. The Convention is equally in the dark as to the reception wch. may be given to it on its publication. All the prepossessions are on the right side, but it may well be expected that certain characters will wage war against any reform whatever. My own idea is that the public mind will now or in a very little time receive anything that promises stability to the public Councils & security to private rights, and that no regard ought to be had to local prejudices or temporary considerations. If the present moment be lost, it is hard to say what may be our fate. …

​ⅭⅬⅢ. James Wilson in the Pennsylvania Convention.
December 11, 1787. (afternoon).
We have been told, Sir, by the honorable member from Fayette (Mr. Smilie,) “that the trial by jury was intended to be given up, and the civil law was intended to be introduced into its place, in civil cases.”
Before a sentiment of this kind was hazarded, I think, Sir, the gentleman ought to be prepared with better proofs in its support, than any he has yet attempted to produce. It is a charge, Sir, not only unwarrantable, but cruel; the idea of such a thing, I believe, never entered into the mind of a single member of that convention; and I believe further, that they never suspected there would be found within the United States, a single person that was capable of making such a charge.…
Let us apply these observations to the objects of the judicial department, under this constitution. I think it has been shewn already, that they all extend beyond the bounds of any particular State; but further, a great number of the civil causes there enumerated, depend either upon the law of nations, or the marine law, that is, the general law of mercantile countries. Now, Sir, in such cases, I presume it will not be pretended that this mode of decision ought to be adopted; for the law with regard to them is the same here as in every other country, and ought to be administered in the same manner. There are instances in which I think it highly probable, that the trial by jury will be found proper; and if it is highly probable that it will be found proper, is it not equally probable that it ​will be adopted? There may be causes depending between citizens of different States, and as trial by jury is known and regarded in all the States, they will certainly prefer that mode of trial before any other. The Congress will have the power of making proper regulations on this subject, but it was impossible for the convention to have gone minutely into it; but if they could, it must have been very improper, because alterations, as I observed before, might have been necessary; and whatever the convention might have done would have continued unaltered, unless by an alteration of the Constitution. Besides, there was another difficulty with regard to this subject. In some of the States they have courts of chancery and other appellate jurisdictions, and those States are as attached to that mode of distributing justice, as those that have none are to theirs.

# The Octavia/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
This case depends on a mere question of fact. After a careful examination of the evidence, the majority of the court are of opinion, that the decree of the circuit court ought to be affirmed. It is deemed unnecessary to enter into a formal statement of the grounds of this opinion, as it is principally founded upon the same reasoning which was adopted by the circuit court in the decree which is spread before us in the transcript of the record
After stating the facts of this case, the learned judge proceeds; 'Since I have had the honour to sit in this court I have prescribed to myself certain rules, by the application of which, my judgment, in cases of this nature, has been uniformly governed. 1st. Where the claimants assume the onus probandi (as they do in this case) not to acquit the property, unless the defence be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. 2d. If the evidence of the claimants be clear and precisely in point, not to indulge in vague and indeterminate suspicions, but to pronounce an acquittal, unless that evidence be clouded with incredibility, or encountered by strong presumptions of mala fides, from the other circumstances of the case.' He also alludes to the absence of documentary evidence to support the defence set up by the claimants as affording an example of the application of these rules, as well as of another rule equally important. 'What strikes me as decisive against the defense is the entire absence of all documents respecting the cargo. Bills of lading, letters of advice, or general orders, must have existed. If the cargo had been destined for Boston only, there would not have been so much difficulty. But the defence shows its destination ultimately for Liverpool. Where, then, is the contract of affreightment, the bills of lading, the letters of advice, and the correspondence of the shippers, or of Mr. P. Grant? Can it be credible that, without any authority, the master, or part owner of the ship should, on their own responsibility, have gone to Liverpool, without orders or consignment? That from a mere vague knowledge of the wishes of the shippers, they should place at imminent risk the whole property, without written authority to colour their proceedings? There must have been papers. They are not produced. The affidavits of the shippers, of Mr. Grant, of the consignees in England, are not produced. What must be the conclusion from this general silence? It must be, that if produced, they would not support the asserted defence. At least, such is the judgment that both the common law and the admiralty law pronounces in cases of suppression of evidence.'

United States Supreme Court
14 U.S. 20
The Octavia
APPEAL from the decree of the circuit court for the Massachusetts district, affirming the decree of the district court, condemning said vessel.
This ship was seized in the port of Boston, in October, 1810; and the information alleges, that the ship, in March, 1810, departed from Charleston, S.C.., bound for a foreign port, to wit, Liverpool in Great Britain, with a cargo of merchandise on board, without a clearance, and without having given the bond required by the Non-Intercourse Act of the 28th of June, 1809, ch. 9. s. 3. The claimants admitted, that the ship proceeded with her cargo (which consisted of cotton and rice) to Liverpool; but they alleged, that the ship originally sailed from Charleston, bound to Wiscasset, in the District of Maine, with an intention there to remain, until the Non-Intercourse Act should be repealed, and then to proceed to Liverpool. That by reason of bad winds and weather, the ship was retarded in her voyage, and on the 10th of May, 1810, while still bound to Wiscasset, she spoke with a ship from New-York, and was informed of the expiration of the Non-Intercourse Act, and thereupon changed her course, and proceeded to Liverpool. The manifest states the cargo to have been shipped by sundries, consigned to Mr. P. Grant, Boston.
The Attorney General and Law argued the case for the appellees on the facts, and cited the case of the Wasp,a which was an information under the same section of the same act. They contended, that the burthen of proof was thrown upon the claimant, inasmuch as the law requires a bond to be given, if the ship was bound to a port then permitted, conditioned that she should not go to a prohibited port.
Dexter, for the appellants and claimants, stated, that the suit was not founded on the same act with that in the case of the Samuel;b but that the same objection existed as to the form of the process. It is true, the Judiciary Act of the 24th of September, 1789, c. 20. s. 9., has declared, that certain causes shall be causes of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, but it does not, therefore, follow, that a forfeiture created by a new statute shall be enforced by the same process. The arguments urged against it in the cases subsequent to that of the Vangeance,c have always been answered by the mere authority of that case. But the decision in that case ought to be re-examined, because it affects the right of trial by jury, and because the argument was very imperfect. The word 'including,' in the judiciary act, ought to be construed cumulatively. It provides, that the district
[STORY, J. That was the high commission court.]
Dexter answered, that he was aware of it; but that a suit may be a cause of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, and yet triable by common law process.d
