The Prince [said], "From those that are in your stable be good enough
to give me a horse which goes on hard journeys."
Then the King gave the Prince the horse with the best qualities of
all, a sword, and a bundle of cooked rice. The Prince would be about
fifteen years of age.
The Prince, having mounted on the horse, asked his mother, "Mother,
on which hand is the river in which you picked up the stone?"
The Queen said, "It is this hand," and stretched out her hand. Then
driving the horse to that hand he began to go.
Having gone away, and stopped at a river near that [gem] river, when
he looked about, at a great rough tree [what was] like a large fire was
visible. Then this Prince, in order to look at the conflagration, went
near the tree. Having gone [there], when he looked a Devata-daughter
endowed with much beauty [246] was there.
