Left an orphan, she was married against her will to the old rajah of Bundelcund; and, knowing the fate that awaited her, she escaped, was retaken, and devoted by the rajah's relatives, who had an interest in her death, to the sacrifice from which it seemed she could not escape.
Drie maanden later was zij weduwe. Daar zij wist welk lot haar te wachten stond, was zij gevlucht, maar men had haar achterhaald en de bloedverwanten van den rajah, die belang bij haren dood hadden, hadden besloten dat ook zij zich zou moeten opofferen; ontkomen scheen niet meer mogelijk.
