Note 12 — The Nā, Mī, and Blue-Lotus Flowers’ Princesses

H. (Henry) Parker translation

At the time when a long period had gone by in this manner, the King thought that with the four persons he must eat food at one table. Having thought so, after three or four months he sent four men to the four persons, and having caused them to bathe, and [then] caused them to bathe in coconut milk scented with sandal-wood,12 and given to all the four persons four pairs of vestments that day,13 he told [the servants] to send food [for all] to eat at one table.
