The Kathá Sarit Ságara

Note 7 — Chapter LXXX · (Vetála 6.)

C. H. (Charles Henry) Tawney translation

In these words she praised and supplicated the goddess, and bowed before her again, and then she made a noose of a creeper and fastened it to an aśoka-tree. And while she was stretching out her neck, and putting it into the noose, the following words resounded from the expanse of air: “Do not act rashly, my daughter! I am pleased with the exceeding courage which thou hast displayed, though a mere girl; let this noose be, but join the heads of thy husband and thy brother to their bodies, and by virtue of my favour they shall both rise up alive.”7
