Note 8 — VIII. MAHAUSHADHA AND VIŚĀKHĀ.1
Anton Schiefner translation
When the king had granted him permission, he went to the mountain forest Kaksha,8 in order to find for himself a maiden. He had put on the dress of a Brahman, and carried a water-jug in his right hand, his body being adorned with the string of sacrifice and covered with the skin of a gazelle, and his face marked with three lines of ointment. When he had gone half-way, darkness came on. A Brahman asked him whence he came.
