Note 4 — The Prince and Princess and Two Dēvatāwās
H. (Henry) Parker translation
When they had been [there] a little time, the two persons having come away for the purpose of seeing the Prince’s two parents, when they were coming on the road, while she was sleeping near a river, suffering from weariness, the mouth of the Princess’s box of ornaments having been opened by the Prince, he remained looking in it. A talisman4 of the Princess’s was there. A bird having carried the talisman aloft, began to go away with it. Thereupon the Prince began to go after the bird; after he had gone on a very distant unfrequented road, it became jungly (walmat), and being unable to find the path [on which he had come], he went to another city.
