Now bet we have made. To the Raja the ball give, O ye, striking (whilst galloping) he will take.
O ye, efforts (search) make, young men, to a man disgrace is death; you your own party abandon not; The Raja has taken the ball to strike; play up, O ye musicians!
Now descend (from your horses) O ye; Tham has come out (victorious); now again the day after to-morrow, he (from fatigue) recovering Poló we will strike (play).
Rules:—The musical instruments of Polo; the ground for the game; the riders; the goals; 9, 9 games let be (nine games won); the riders nine one side; nine one (the other) side; when this has become (the case) the drum (Tsagàr) they will strike.
First the Tham takes the ball (out into the Maidan to strike whilst galloping at full speed).
The Tham’s side upper part will take.
The rest will strike from the lower part (of the ground).
Those above the goal when becoming will take to the lower part.
Those below the goal when becoming to above taking the ball will send it flying.
Thus being (or becoming) whose goal when becoming, the ball will be sent flying and the musicians will play.
