Note 1 — The Faithless Princess

H. (Henry) Parker translation

When the Prince and Princess, having got married, had been living together for a very long time, the Princess associated with a Nāgayā.1 When they had been thus for a long time, the Princess and the Nāgayā spoke together as to how to kill the Princess’s Prince. Then the Nāgayā said, “Ask at the hand of the Prince where the Prince’s death is. After you have got to know the place where his death is, I will bite2 him there.”
