Chapter 28 Head Changing Legend (1)
There is a vast and fertile land that was once occupied by Aya from the western highlands.There, Umatini - the daughter of the Brahman Haritus - became known to every household.A hundred polymaths and poets have composed otherworldly verses, sonnets and acrostics in praise of her beauty.Her presence is like a ray of bright light seen in a dark room, dazzling: her face is like a bright full moon; her skin is like golden champaka powder; And her curly hair was like a coiled snake; her charming eyes were as quick as a running deer; her curved eyebrows were like a curved bow; her white teeth were like two clusters of small opals; her feet were like red gemstones ; Her figure is as light as a swan soaring above the blue sky.Anyone who has heard her beautiful singing will never forget her moving voice, just like the crisp singing of Kekela birds in the valley, which makes people stop and listen; A breeze and even the beautiful nymphs of the Indian Paradise will be overwhelmed by her loveliness.

None of the poets, however, could command the affections of the charming Umatini, who felt that they sang of a beauty's beauty rather than of her.Unless you praise her intelligence and talents with all your passion, you might win her over.For this reason, you have to read a lot of books, mobilize all your sincerity and wit to stimulate the infinite passion in your chest, and make yourself more individual and charming, in order to be worthy of her nobility and elegance.Who doesn't know that flattery is like a match that ignites the flame of love, but it is inevitable that in reality there will always be some people with vulgar behavior and slow language who compare this group of people with those who are called "cattle" and will definitely be criticized. By the grace of God.But even they have to...

The little prince Dihavashi couldn't help thinking of his father's appearance after hearing this, and couldn't help laughing.As soon as the king heard this inappropriate jest, he solemnly ordered Bertal to stop making such immoral similes and tell his story.

The lovely Umatini had a brilliant idea to satirize these ridiculous poets and men of letters.On this day, she told her father who loved her the most—in any case, her future husband must be a kind person who can write poetry, not only that, but also have noble conduct and profound knowledge, and be admired by her.

It is conceivable that seeing her resolutely rejecting so many good suitors, the close friends of this beauty concluded that her future life would either end in loneliness, or be followed by a villain, or be on the tail of Patras. The ape with the bell passed.

Soon, four suitors from different countries stood out from many competitors. They had the handsomeness and extraordinary vitality of young people.After paying homage to Harriets, they expressed their wishes.Early the next morning they came to Harriets' palace for their first ordeal—a wise conversation.

The following is the process of these young people being tested:
The young and beautiful Mahassani said: "A foolish man pursues the eternal things of the world. This behavior is as fragile as the trunk of the plantain tree, and disappears as quickly as the waves of the sea."

"All that is high soon sinks; all that is low soon rots."

"I don't want to lick the tears off the face of a loved one who died, neither weep nor grieve, but I will go to the final funeral."

"What are the consequences for such a person?" asked the beautiful Umatini who sat behind the curtain.This guy actually quotes poetry!Apparently he's been eliminated.

No. 2 candidate said: "She is known as a good woman, a woman of pure blood." He will do his best to serve her parents.It is clearly written in the scriptures that a woman who spends her life with her husband must become a loyal believer, fast voluntarily, strictly demand that she dedicate everything to the church, shorten her life, and have cremation.It is said that—

A woman's greatest blessing,
Not in her sweet smile,
but to her parents and friends, not to herself;
Her husband is her only one,

The only paradise thereafter.

The word "serve", "obedience" is its main emphasis, but our wonderful woman does not like to hear such a word, nor does she like to have her faith and loyalty tested so quickly, let alone talk Such an unmannered young man to be his husband.She didn't want to see him again, in her eyes, this man was stupider than an elephant.

Gunaka, the third suitor, said: "The mother loves the child when he is young, and the father disciplines him when he grows up. But a man of warrior blood has to protect his brothers at all times. This It's custom, and it's my opinion. I'm very serious about what I believe in."

The words of the young man in velvet aroused respect.

Diva Sharma - The No.4 candidate has been listening intently to the other three candidates, as if overwhelmed by their words of wisdom.When it was his turn to speak to the princess, he said simply: "Silence is golden." As an explanation for his statement, he said: "A wise man, whether he is rich or experienced The rich man who has been struck down, or who has suffered family misfortune, or because of a spell, conjugal love, hospital prescription, religious duty, inheritance, wife's loss of virginity, he will never tell his own story. age, and will not set any traps for myself."

The first round of inspections is over.The owner warmly gave the first two some rich gifts, and expressed his sincere thanks for their coming all the way, and hoped that they could find another spouse.When they were about to leave, the master chewed some betel leaves for them, sprinkled flower oil on them, sprayed rose water on their heads, and sent them to the door.And the two young people who passed the first level had a duel early in the morning of the second day.

From this point of view, Gunaka and Divasama are very promising.On the second day, when they entered the hall of the palace and sat down according to the master's instructions, the kind master said: "This time, I will try your intelligence. Show off all your skills, so that I can make a fair decision." judge."

Gunaka spoke first: "I have a beautiful four-wheeled carriage, no matter where you think of, it can take you there."

Diva Sharma said: "I have the extraordinary ability of a dead spirit to hold a dead body all the time, and I can also make my friends have such power."

"Oh! Dear King Wickram, now you can tell me, which of the two young men is more suitable to be the husband of this beautiful woman?" Betal asked.

Perhaps not only the king, but even Betar himself cannot answer this question.The king had been walking up and down for hours to make this decision.Betal remained silent the whole time, seeing that Wickram hadn't come up with an answer, he didn't make any comments.

This time, the beautiful Umatini let the two suitors see her true face, but she kept her head down and did not speak, but her eyes stayed on Divasama.Therefore, Harriets quoted the proverb that "pearls are always connected with pearls" and formally made a marriage contract for his daughter.

And the unsuccessful warrior suitor blushed with anger, clenched his sword hilt again and again.However, he is an upper-class person after all, and a nobleman cannot do things that damage his status.After a while he regained his composure.

The mahasani poet, a shameless man, squeezed into the hall full of people, and in full view of all the people, began to roar and quote many proverbs and curse loudly.He said that woman is the source of sorrow in the world, a bunch of poisonous roots, the temporary possessor of kindness, the destroyer of decision, the possessor of beauty and all virtues.He walked shamelessly from the beautiful woman to the king, claiming to be a "Maha Brahmin" with many cows and gold coins, and a monkey A title given to a priest who performs a religious service.

It is considered an insult to a Brahmin's reputation if he does any of the following: servants of the king, pursuing long-term affairs, willingly serving as priests of the slave class, exercising the priesthood for the whole village, not seriously performing the three-day religious ceremony link.And killing a Brahmin has always been one of the five sins in India.Present-day Brahmins do not need to accept gifts of cattle or gold.The matter of worshiping monkeys originated from the legend that a Nadia king spent a lot of money to marry two monkeys with a grand team ceremony. ) He cursed the priest and the offspring of the priest, especially Diva Sharma.The poet's words aroused public outrage, and the onlookers condemned his words and deeds. Instead of a trace of remorse, he intensified his insults.Harriets is such a soft bone, and he is frightened when he sees this man so lawless.At last the poet swears a poisonous oath--all the betrotheds in the world are the object of his hatred, unless Umatini is his wife, otherwise he will kill himself, and become a wandering devil, let them The family has no peace.

The valiant gunaka warrior warned the shameless fellow that if he was going to kill himself, he should die as soon as possible, and not to run wild here.But Haretus blamed him for the inhumanity of the samurai; Mahasani, irritated by the rival's love, the people's hostility, anger, and unnatural attitude toward the death of a hero, rushed out of the After leaving the hall, he took out the rope in his arms and resolutely hanged himself on a nearby tree.

Just as he predicted, at midnight, he turned into a huge and terrifying ghost, came to the house of Harriets, scared away the people inside, took away the beautiful Umatini, and spread a word Said that if you want to find them, you have to go to the peak of the Himalayas and have a showdown.

The poor father who lost his daughter hurried to his daughter's room, which was empty.He was so disappointed that tears blurred his eyes. He told the terrible story to his unmarried son-in-law, and encouraged him to cheer up and work with him to find the lovely Umatini.

The quick-witted young Brahmin soon found his rival, the warrior, and begged him to help him retrieve Umatini.Though they had been rivals for a love, the brave warrior granted his request without hesitation.

The carriage was ready, and in order to rescue their beloved girl, the two young and brave young men were ready to fight the evil devil.They assured the poor father that his daughter would be returned to him at dusk.Then they jumped into the chariot, Gunaka cheering himself up with magical words, and Divasama chanting sacred scriptures, forcing the demon to flee in panic:

Let us meditate together,
The sun god, the supreme ruler of the heavens,

With its divine light,

Light up the lamp of our wisdom,
Let us gain understanding among each other;

the ancient wise men,
With its inexhaustible wisdom,
Guide us with sacrifice and praise,
Pay the highest homage to the sun god.

Finally they brought the girl back home, and Harriets didn't know how to express her deep blessing to them. The safe return of her daughter made her feel extremely happy.He looked up at the sky and praised the sun.In order to prevent further accidents, he rubbed turmeric on his daughter to avoid evil at the moment when the lucky planets met.

The grand wedding made the 24 competitors feel sad!On the day when the wedding date was set, Divasama made such a request to his father-in-law: he wanted to take his wife back to his home to have a look.Harriets agreed to the son-in-law's request, and the couple set off under the escort of Gunaka.Gunaka swore he would never leave them until they were safely under his roof.
