I happened that' the - Sultanv was labouring under,, an indisposition.;,.byt
“ when jhe."was, sufficiently 'recovered, ^he, went ■ one -evening j after prayers,
/‘ .and sat dqwn; at the second gate; ofb.the, ddlam,; his ..wife standing .behind
“ and holding his Ji pad, accompanied only, by some-female attendants’,, At
that moment, Rdkut went up to him, and declared his commission ;; to,
“ which the Sultan replied, ‘ I am aware fthat mv time is- enmp
“ 3‘ yqur orders, but.dq’not-hurt any one but me.’ - .Upon this, .Rakut,drew,
/‘/his krts and stabbed him : after whioh?£rqtreating.a,fë'jç,iJs|eps>.ijt occurr
e d to him th.at the chief might npt be actoejîiy dead -, and returning
-$> with an intention of complqtmg, his purpose,;diej missed his aim, andi
“ struck the wife. TheL prince.'observing this, immediately, threw his kris
“ at the assassin, which, striking him in£the leg, threw him to the; groupd,
where he was soon dispatched by the people, who were, assqmblgd by tfte
g ; cries of the women,.”
. The prince and his wife soon after died, of their, wounds, and; ipj^theftr .
dominions and property to their brother,, the Sûnqn Kâli ; ^drpat,_^thu
authority .to administer the san^e until their son;
of age. Both the prince and his wife were interred in the, .burial plaç&pf
their ancestors at Demdk ; and the provinces' of Praiwdta thus became1 incorporated
with those of Kâli Nidmat.
The Simm KdliNiâmat immediately went to KMps, .and .de®g#$edt that
justi.cemnd condign punishment shcyild be inflicted, on^hepersqns. co^qefped
in this' murder; and theiSurian-Ktidus, jexp^swpg'grgat .-fcdjggatipmlsat
the act, promised compliance ;; -but .the. Sunan, Khi]e returning’ to. Kâli
Nidmat, was murdered on the road by persons in the pay,-of th&^dipdtj, of
Jipang. This prince, having thus far succeeded in his designs,"jthqn plotted
the death of, the chief of :PSpang, hoping by that means to çempy^he
only obstacle to his obtaining the supreme authority in the. pastern districts
of .Java.’ The assassins, however, whom he employed for^this lattivpur-
pose were npt equally successful. ,They-found the prince at midnight in
an inner apartment, sleeping among his wives ; but while approaching him
to execute their design, one of, them, happened to bread upon a woman,
whose shriek awoke the prince. He demanded the reason ^ofjtheir-,,visit,
and promised them pardon, on, their confessing by whom they were; employed:
.they disclosed the whole, and obtained pardon with theft dismissal.
Thus disappointed in his scheme, the Sûnan Kudus invited the chief Paféh
of Pdfcmg to visit Kûdu$, an 4 assembled as iqany religious pepple as possible,
