Note 5 — The Prince and Princess and Two Dēvatāwās

H. (Henry) Parker translation

From the country in which is the Prince, ships go to the country in which is the Princess. The gardener [under whom he worked] having obtained and given goods to the Prince, the Prince, taking the Princess’s talisman and having put it in a box,5 was about to go [in a ship] for the sale of the goods. But a little before he was coming away, they sent word that an illness had befallen the gardener, and when he went to look [at him] the ships went away.
