Note 13 — VIII. MAHAUSHADHA AND VIŚĀKHĀ.1
Anton Schiefner translation
After that a merchant from the north made a present of two mares13 to the king, and said, “These two mares, O king, are dam and foal, but which the dam is and which the foal, nobody knows.” When in this case also the king and his court were in difficulties, the carpenter’s daughter Viśākhā settled the question as before, saying that the thick-haired mare was the dam and the soft-haired the foal.
