Note 15 — The Nā, Mī, and Blue-Lotus Flowers’ Princesses
H. (Henry) Parker translation
This incident is given in Cinq Cents Contes et Apologues (Chavannes), vol. i, p. 83. The hundred sons of a Queen attacked their father’s capital. The Queen mounted on a tower, pointed out their wickedness, and pressing her breasts milk was projected into their mouths, and they recognised her. In vol. iii, p. 12, she was on a white elephant, and had five hundred sons. ↑
