8 ■tnrib*s fidiQP was wounded. Anwur Kbaun* his brodier, and nude
9 to'Mc»irrib» is the head of all the GhaHedchai], jet he hadjio means
10 of redress beyond those possessed by any Other individual. A Jeerga
11 was heid on the occasioot which does not seem to have had much
12 effect. A few days afterwards, when Anwur Khaun went to the
13 Hoojra, accompanied by Mozirrib, then only »ii\teen, and ten or
14 twelve his relations, some well armed, and others having only their
15 swords, they found Sinindauz there, with twenty of his friends in full
16 wmour. This did not deter Anwur Khaun from reproaching him with
17 his behaviour ; his attack broupjht on the usual consequences, a des-
18 perate affray took place, in wliicli Mozirrib received a severe cut ou
19 his head, and An\vur Kliaun was covered with wounds; mfmy of his
20 rehitions were also wouiuk d, A son of Sirumlauz, and another of
21 his partisans wer • kilKd. As Anwur Kliaun hafl killed the hvst
22 man, he was consuitTed to be ui the wrong, and was obliged to flv
23 with all his family. At last he was wearied with his exile, and sul>-
24 mitted to Siruiulaijz, givii)*i, han his sister and his niece (a sister of
25 Mozirrib's). Sirundauz behaved with courtesy ; he said he considered
26 Anwur's sister as his own, and restored her to lier relat ions ; but he
27 kept the other without manyii^ her (for the Naikpeekhail never
28 many a woman given in^ price of blood)} and from that day Mozirrib
29 saw his aster no more. The pursuit of Uood Inid indeed beai pul
30 an end to» but no intercourse took place among the ihmilies; Stron-
31 daux and Anwur never meet when they ou avoid it» and when they
32 do, the^ torn their heads siway. Mbeirrib* in answer to a qnestion>
33 what he would do^ if he met Sirundaua alone, replied, that he would
34 instantly attack him, (hat he might antidpote the assault whkli Sbni^
