Note 2 — The Kabaragoyā and the Widow

H. (Henry) Parker translation

After a little time went thus, for the purpose of the occasion of a certain feast the King2 sent a letter to the Kabaragoyā and his royal daughter, [inviting them to it]. Thereupon the royal Princess having said, “Anē! How shall I go with this Kabaragoyā, without shame?” While she is grieving, the Kabaragoyā went to a certain rock cave, and having taken off and put there the Kabaragoyā jacket, and decorated himself [in the form of a Prince], with royal ornaments, returned. At that time the royal daughter also, much pleased, went to the royal palace.
