Maharana Sāngā. band of five hundred cavaliers, and, accompanied by his bride, the fair Tara, who insisted on partaking of his glory and his danger, he reached Toda at the moment the tazzia or bier containing the martyr-brothers was placed in the centre of the "chauk" or square. The prince, Tara Bai, and the faithful Senger Chief, the inseparable companion of Prithviraj, left their cavalcade and joined the procession as it passed under the balcony of the place in which the Afghan was putting on his dress preparatory to descending. Just as he had asked who the strange horsemen were that had joined the throng, the lance of Prithviraj and an arrow from the bow of his Amazon bride stretched him on the floor.¹ Before the crowd recovered from the panic, the three had reached the gate of the town, where their exit was obstructed ¹ The following old couplet extant in Rajputana sums up the popular view of the incident:— भाग लल्ला प्रथिराज आयो सिहं कै सांथरे स्वाल आयो । Run away, Lalla, Prithviraj has arrived. A jackal has been born in a lion’s den (it cannot stay there). 27
