Note 7 — The Princes who Learnt the Sciences
H. (Henry) Parker translation
After that, the seven Princes, taking the packet of cooked rice, went away.7 Having thus gone, the whole seven ate the packet of cooked rice near a piece of garden. When the whole seven were going away again, they met with a soothsayer. Then the eldest Prince said, “I must stay near this soothsayer,” and having said it he stopped near the soothsayer.
