Note 17 — The Nā, Mī, and Blue-Lotus Flowers’ Princesses
H. (Henry) Parker translation
Afterwards, the Prince, in that very manner having gone upon the hard sand, held his hands in a cup shape; then it came into his hands. Having taken it, when he comes back the King is still at the widow woman’s house. Afterwards the Prince gave the Blue-lotus flower into the King’s hand. Thereupon the King thought to himself, “Āḥ, Bola! by this also I was unable to kill this one.”17
