CONCLUSION OF THE ADVENTURES OF THE WELL-AND-WISE-WALKING KHAN.

The Well-and-wise-walking Khan listened till the Siddhî-kür had made

an end of speaking, but opened never his lips. Though he heaped up

wonders upon wonders as a man heaps up faggots on a funeral pile,

yet spake he never a word.

Therefore the sack remained fast bound with the cord of a hundred

threads of different colours, nor could the Siddhî-kür find means to

escape out of the same; but the Well-and-wise-walking Khan bore him

along to his journey's end, even to the feet of his great Master and

Teacher Nâgârg'una.

And Nâgârg'una took the mighty dead, even him endowed with perfection

of capacity and fulness of power, and laid him up in the cool grove

on the shining mountain of Southern India, venerated by all men as

the Siddhitu-Altan even unto this day.

By this means also great prosperity crowned the whole land of

Gambudvîpa. To all the men thereof were given knowledge and length

of days. The laws were obeyed and religion honoured, and happiness

had her abode among them.
