" The Story of Bappa "
I once Chief Bard of the old Mori Prince,
Who, years ago, on Chittor’s hill did reign,
Tell of the coming of great Bappaji,
And how that fort he from this Prince did gain,
The Mori Prince was old, his eyes were dim,
When first this Bappa as a stranger came
Unto his court, and as the Prince was wont,
He turned to me enquiring of his fame;
And I, standing before him, truthful told
Of all that happened in the days of yore,
For well I knew the story of those times,
Deep versed was I in all such ancient lore.
