 266 INDIAN ANTIQUAIIY. [SltfTESIBim, 1 V 15 h n t a s, $ a kin is , and others, learned many . and from what he saw at night he would call people in the daytime and say, '* Yon have such an uneasiness," or " Yon have suoh a comfort," so that people thought that he knew the hearts of men, and must be an aoatur of a Deva. One day a Yogini came from Ujjain to the king . !. and began to hold a disctu with the Raja, Baying, " Raja, if you desire fame, come to Ujjain and humbly entreat Kulikii and the other Yogims, and make friends with Yasovarma, the Raja of Ujjain,* for ut him yon cannot go to Ujjain." Jayasinha said to t 1 u _■ V« ig i 1 1 1, " i will seize tha t V a 8 o v a r m a and make him a prisoner : there- fore, if you like, go and give h i m all the assistance yon can. If this Yaso varma fly to save his life it is better, otherwise I wiUeneagehimlikea parrot. If you do not assist him, all the service yon have paid him will have been waste of labour. If I do not conquer Yasovarma,I will be your servant. If you do not fly hence like a female crow, I will Cllt offji nose and tars with this sword." Thus saying he turned out the Yogini. Then Jayasinha quickly prepared to go to U j j a i n,f and collected his army from village to village. He advanced towards Ujjaui by daily stages of eight kos, and conquering the rajas that ho passed on the road ho took them with him. On the way he I- ■ m the tops of many mountains to level the road. A L h 1 1 1 i ; tended Jayasinua at this time. Jayasinha was phased when he saw this B h i 1 1 Raja and his army, like the monkeys in the army of ■luiFidraji. The B h i 1 Is were dwellers in the mountains ; therefore when a mountain in the way fc though the place were a terrible one, they would qnickly mount it. They climbed trees, too, to get at the fruit to woold enter into it. They pursued wild animals to catch them. If as they wont, on account throng, they conld not get a road, they would go on without one. JayasiEha's army OH arriving at Ujjain encamped on the &ipra river. His servants made known to Jayasinha that the tents were pitched, v, irsee fast- r.>nalogry of tin- Ujjiiin prince*, as piven in tha ened on one side, and the details of the eneamp- Vment. Then the courtezans, putting on clothes of varied kinds, came-aud danced before Jayasinlni. Jayasiiiha sent certain Bhntas, Pretas, &c. against Ujjain, to cause annoyance. Many warriors with slings began to cast stones against I jjjiiu. Some went and broke down the moat of I jjain, and some that saw it said nothing. When Jayasinha knew of this he did not forbid it, though it was done without his orders, be- cause it pleased liira, and he had thought «pf ordering it. Yasovarma prepared to fight to protect Ujjain, and came with his Pradhau ; but the sun had gone down, anil Jayasinha was employed in the evening service. When it was d Jayasinha went out alone to see the environs of Ujjain. He went to the S i p r a river, where there are D e v a s t h n n s and places of pil- grimage called after the Risbis. He saw there a Company of women, and knew them to be Yo- ginis. Jayasinha knew thai rhey intended ti. pare mantra* to cause his death. The Yo attacked the king, who fought with them,tho he was not pleased to contend with women. At last they pronounced thai il •■y were p!< with hhu. and that he should conquer Ya s o- v a r m a. The king returned to his army, and t he next day seated inn piUkt he entered Ujjain. jind , seizing Yasovarma, imprisoned him, and! brought all A v a n t i d e s a with D ha r under ] subjection to himself. Afterwards Jayasinha seized and imprisoned a raja of the con mar to Ujjain named Si m, and several other rajas. Some of them lie caged like birds, some he chained by the neck like cattle, or by the legs like ho Then J a y a s i fi h u w i re t ur nod from Mftlwft. On the road rajas brought their daughters to be married to • SlSha, and treated him with great respect, Tho 'i-.'ijas and others who plundered pilgrims he slew or drove out from that place, and m the place without fear. Afterwards Jayasi lived for a bone at Siddhapur, and built the RndraMal a ,.n the banks of the Saras vat ! t where the river Rows eastwards.^ Juyasiuba also caused to be built at Siddhapur r. vol.
