Note 5 — The Rākshasa-eating Prākshasa1

“Anē! My elder brothers, (ayiyanḍilā)! Did you come seeking me?” Having said, “It is I myself,” holding her elder brothers she smelt5 them, and said, “Apoyi! When the Rākshasa has come now he will eat you.” Having quickly called them into the house, she told the whole of them (sēramanṭa) to ascend to the upper room (uḍa geṭa), and remain [there]. Even the ass they took up. “When the Rākshasa has gone in the morning we can talk together,” she said.
