Note 53 — Chapter XXIII · MATILALL AT SONAGAJI.
G. D. (George Devereux) Oswell translation
The reference is to a rich merchant, who, having on one of his journeys seen Durga sitting in the form of a woman on a lotus, in the sea off Ceylon, was punished with solitary confinement for some time; he was at length released through his son’s efforts and returned home with all his wealth.
