Tariel Writes a Letter and Sends a Man to the Khatavians
387	"I SENT a man to Khataet'hi and a letter from me; I wrote: "The king of the Indians is of a truth powerful from God; every hungry soul of those faithful to him is sated; whosoever is disobedient will have himself to blame.
388	'"BROTHER and lord, by you we will not be embittered. When you see this command wend hither; if you come not we shall come; we will not steal upon you. It is better you should come to us, spill not your own blood.'
389	"I SENT the man, I gave my heart up yet more to rejoicing, I made merry at court; the fire unbearable in its burning was extinguished. Then the world. Fate, gave me lavishly what I desired; now I am mad, so that I annoy even the wild beasts if I approach them.
390	"AT first the plan of roaming, then reason soothed me. I feasted with my comrades, but the greatness of desires hindered me from joy; sometimes they filled me with melancholy, I uttered curses against Fate."
