 Going up quickly to him she took him aside and said, My house is invested by a certain poor lover. Therefore come there to-day, and do anything to him so that he will leave my house, and then take possession of my daughter yourself" ~ So be it," said this warrior, and entered her house. At that time Rupinika stood in the temple, and Lohsj angina, at the same time was standing somewhere out side, and after little while, suspecting nothing, returned. Immediately he was set upon by the followers of the soldier who struck him with violent kicks, etc, upon all his limbs, and then threw him into a trench full of erdure, from which Lohsj jangha escaped with difficulty. Then Rupinika returned, and hearing what had been done, was wild with grief, and the warrior seeing this went away whence he came. Then Lohajangha, after he had been so outrageously treated by the ku,- tini resolved to go to a holy place of pill
 grimage, and give up his life, being sep arated from his love. While going through the forest, his heart famed up with rage against the Kuttini and his skin with the heat of summer, and he longed for shade. Not being able to ind tree, he then got possession of the feshless carcass of an elephant which had been beset by jaekals having entered it from behind then being weary Lohajapgha entered into the carcass where only the skin remained and went to sleep, being cooled by the breeze that entered it
 Then suddenly at that moment, clouds from all around rose up, and it began to rain in torrents, by which the skin of the elephant became so contracted that no opening was left, and at that moment a great flood of water came that way, by which the elephants skin was caught up and borne to the C. anges, and tk en carried by the flood was deposited in the ocean
 And bird of the race of Garuda having seen that skin there, and suspecting food for itself flew down and seized it and bore it to the other side of the ocean there it tore open that elephants skin with its beak, and seeing inside of it a man, flew of. And then Lohsj ,ngha being reused up by the impetuosity of the bird, came out of the skin through the hole made by its beak. And having seen that he stood on the other side of the ocean he was as- tenished, and considered the whole thing as dream without sleep, and then he saw two horrible Rakshasas causing him terror, and these two also trembling with fear looked upon him from the distance And remembering how they had been overthrown by Rama and seeing that this was a man who had crossed the ocean, much greater fear entered their hearts Then having taken counsel with each other, one of them then went of and made known to King Vlbhishana the whole matter. The Rsja Vlbhishana also had seen the power of Rama and being frightened at the coming of a man said to that Rakshasa, Go, my good fellow and say graciously these words of mins te that man, that he must do us the favor to come to our house." And the Rak shasa said, So will," and coming uE timidiy to Lohal angha, he told him ths request of his king. And the Brahmar Lohsj angina also agreed to that with hi, mind at ease, and then went to Lank: with the Rakshasa as companion. Anc in it he saw with as,onishment man, splendid buildings of gold, and having entered the Raja's palace he saw Vlbhis hama. The K la having welcomed him was greeted in return, and said, "Brah man, how did you happen to come to this country3' Then the crafty Loha j ngha said ts Vibhishana, "l am ; Brahman named Lohaj angina; and being oppressed on account of my poverty,
 went to the temple of the god to do pen ance and remained standing without fooe in the presence of NArayana. Then the venerable Hari commanded me in q dream, saying, Go into the presence o VlbhisAana, for he is my worshiper ane and he will give you wealth. l said Where can 1 see Vibhishanar And th, lord again commanded, Go, to-day yor shall see this Vlbhishana.' Thus beinf addressed by the lord l immediately woke up, and saw myself standing on ,hi. side of the ocean. know nothing more When Lohaiangha had thus spoken Vibhishana refecting that Lanka vas a place difficult of access, thought, saying this truly is a man of divine power. And he said to the Brahmas, "Remain 1 will give you wealth." Then he deliv- l ~~aA k;x. A,,~~ ,< kA fs oS k.
