river. Should the Devatawa Unnaehae come he will kill you. It is I
indeed they call the Gem Goddess. I can give gems. [After] marrying
me and placing me on the horse, if you should not go twelve yojanas
[247] before half a paeya (of twenty-four minutes) has gone, the Gem
Devata Unnaehae [248] will come and behead both of us, and burn us."

is good", and placing the Princess on the back of the horse, asked,
"Where are the gems?"
