The Prince says, "Having given me that silver chair here, and put
aside this lamp also, come to gamble, bringing a good lamp," he said.
Then the woman being unable [to effect] the punishment of the Prince,
gave him the silver chair, and bringing a different lamp sat down
to gamble. After that the Prince won. After he won he caused those
aforesaid six Princes to be brought from the place where they were
put in prison, and having burnt [their] names on their haunches,
[295] sent them away.
After that, this Prince said he must contract marriage with that
woman who gambled. The woman says, "If you are to marry me please
bring the Surangana flowers." [296]
Then the Prince says, "That is not a journey for which I came here. The
two eyes of my father the King have become blind. On account of it I
am going to seek the Kule-Baka flowers. [After] finding them, on the
return journey I will bring the Surangana flowers," he said.
Having said this, he went to ask the path going to the Kule-Baka
garden. When he was going near the Yakas who were on guard on it,
a Princess whom the Yakas had seized and carried off came up, and
said to the Prince, "What came you here for?"
"Through news that you are here I came to marry you," [he replied].
Then the Princess says, "Should the Yakas come they will eat you up,"
she said.
The Prince then says, "By any possible contrivance save me," he said.
The Princess then opened the door of a rock house (cave), and having
taken the Prince and put him in it, shut the door.
