Note 18 — Chapter CII
C. H. (Charles Henry) Tawney translation
When the king of the Mátangas and Máyávaṭu said this, Mṛigánkadatta said lovingly and very respectfully, “What will you not be able to accomplish, for this resolute courage of yours is a sufficient guarantee that you will carry out that furtherance of your friend’s interests which you have undertaken. When the Creator made you here, he infused into your composition qualities borrowed from your surroundings, the firmness of the Vindhya hills, the courage of the tigers, and the warm attachment to friends of the forest18 lotuses. So deliberate and do what is fitting.” While Mṛigánkadatta was saying this, the sun retired to rest on the summit of the mountain of setting. Then they also rested that night in the royal camp, as was meet, sleeping in booths made by the workmen.
