bahkan pada raja muda ; maka di-sambut raja-muda
piala itu lalu barkata, “ ayo mama Bandahara mabuk-
lahkita,’’ makasambah Bandahara daulat Tuan-ku,
maka Raja pun duduk, maka sagala Pagawe dan Pa-
tuanan habis-lah mabuk, ada yang sampat pulang ka-
rumah-nya,ada yang rabah di tangah jalan tartidor,
ada yang di usung ulih hamba-nya pulang, tar-

“ Then the attendants produced the liquors, and
cups, studded with precious stones, were placed in
order before the chiefs of various ranks.- The
tabours were sounded. The damsels of sweet voices
sung—passing melodious was the air. The guests
gave themselves up to pleasure, and rose to dance.
The Laksimana began after making his obeisance to
the prince. He rose, holding in his hand the
head of his long kris, the workmanship of Mal-
lacca. Passing good was his figure in the dance
—^bounding like an experienced stabber, he bowed
to the prince—he was happy. The young
prince was delighted with what he saw, and viewed
him with eyes unsatiated, saying to himself, assuredly
Hang Tuah is a champion—his every gesture
is becoming. Tun Jabbat made his obeisance to

He replenished it for the Tumangung, and presenting
it, said, * Drink, my Lord, according to the
commands of the youthful ruler of the kingdom.’
The Tumangung, hearing the prince’s commands,
took the cup, and placing it respectfully over , his
head, drank, bowed, and rose to dance. The
attendants plied him with fresh cups. The Tumangung
presented the cup to the Bandahara,
which the latter accepted, and rose to dance a
few steps, when he laid down his kris, and bowed
at the feet of the prince. The prince perceived
the wish of the minister. He rose from his seat
and embraced him. The Bandahara took the cup
