How Raja Rasalu Journeyed to the City of King Sarkap Story

Now, after he had reigned  ages  in Hodi Nagari, Rasâlu gave up his kingdom,  and began to play chaupur with King Sarkap. And as he journeyed there came a fierce storm of thunder and lightning,  in order that  he sought shelter,  and located  none save an old graveyard, where a headless corpse lay upon  the bottom . So lonesome was it that even the corpse seemed company, and Rasâlu, sitting down beside it, said—¬

‘There  is not any  one here, nor far nor near,

Save this breathless corpse so cold and grim;

Would God he might come to life again,

‘Twould be less lonely  to speak  to him.’

And immediately the headless corpse arose and sat beside Raja Rasâlu. And he, nothing astonished, said to it—¬

‘The storm beats fierce and loud,

The clouds rise thick  within the  west;

What ails thy grave and thy shroud,

O corpse, that thou canst not rest?’

Then the headless corpse replied—¬

‘On earth  i used to be  even as thou,

My turban awry  sort of a  king,

My head with  the very best , I trow,

Having my fun and my fling,

Fighting my foes  sort of a  brave,

Living my life with a swing.

And, now  i'm  dead,

Sins, heavy as lead,

Will give me no rest in my grave!’

Raja Rasalu

So the night passed on, dark and dreary, while Rasâlu sat  within the  graveyard and talked to the headless corpse. Now when morning broke and Rasâlu said he must continue his journey, the headless corpse asked him whether he was going; and when he said. ‘to play chaupur with King Sarkap,’ the corpse begged him  to offer  up the idea, saying, ‘I am King Sarkap’s brother,  and that I know his ways. Every day, before breakfast, he cuts off the heads of two or three men, just to amuse himself.  At some point  no one else was at hand, so he  stopped  mine, and he will surely  stop  yours on some pretence or another. However, if  you're  determined to go and play chaupur with him, take  a number of  the bones from this graveyard, and make your dice out of them,  then  the enchanted dice with which my brother plays will lose their virtue. Otherwise he will always win.’

Taking Bones and Cleaning His Stick

So Rasâlu took  a number of  the bones lying about, and fashioned them into dice, and these he put into his pocket. Then, bidding adieu to the headless corpse, he went on his  thanks to  play chaupur with the King.
