Afterwards, placing the sword near his head, he went to sleep. Then
this woman having gone, collected a bon-fire (gini godak), and quietly
taking the sword put it into the hearth. Well then, the woman having
come back, when she looked that Yaka was dead.
That eldest Yaka having arisen, when he looked [saw that] the flowers
and fruit had all fallen from the lime tree. The Yaka said, "Ane! Bola,
there will have been some accident; I must go to look." Well then,
the eldest Yaka having tied up the lime fruits, and come to that
Yaka's country, taking them, when he looked his younger brother was
dead. When he sought for that sword it was not [there].
Afterwards, when he looked at the fire heap that sword was in the
heap. Well then, taking the limes and having cut them, when he was
thoroughly polishing it with the limes that dead Yaka revived (lit.,
was born). Then the elder Yaka, calling the revived Yaka, came to his
[own] house [with him].
A pestilence having stricken the second Yaka, one morning when those
two looked the flowers on that planted tree had fallen. Well then,
having said, "Appa! Bolan, some accident will have stricken our Yaka,"
putting together those flowers also, they went away.
Having gone, and having offered the flowers to the Gods of that
country, the disease was cured; and calling that Yaka also, they came
to that eldest Yaka's house.
Having come [there], that eldest Yaka said to one Yaka, "You do loading
work, and having loaded cattle get your living." To the other Yaka
he said, "You trade and get your living. I will cultivate," he said.
Well then, the three taking human appearance, all remained at the city
where that eldest Yaka was. That Yaka who loaded sacks [with produce
with which he went on trading journeys] was ruined by that very thing,
and died.
Then [in the case of] the Yaka who traded [at a shop], an old thief
stole all the goods [obtained] by his trading. Out of grief on that
account that Yaka died.
That eldest Yaka, doing cultivation and having become abundantly
wealthy, stayed at that very city, and abandoned the Yaka appearance.
