The man having said, "Ane! O Lord, I indeed cannot seize him," went
to the man's village.
Afterwards the King having said that he can seize him, and the King
having mounted on his horse, came with the army to the Akaragane
jungle.
Then this man, breaking a bundle of branches, sprang in front [of
him]. Having sprung in front of the King who was coming, seizing the
horse this man came to the rock house. The King and the army went to
the city through fear.
After they returned a Lord [152] came. The King asked if the Lord could
seize the Yaka who is in the Akaragane jungle. Then the Lord asked,
"When I have seized the Yaka what will you give me?"
The King said, "I will give a district from the kingdom, and goods
[amounting] to a tusk elephant's load, and the Akaragane jungle." The
King said, "For seizing the Yaka what do you want?"
The Lord said, "Having built a house, and tied cloths at it, and
placed a bed [in it], please give me it."
Afterwards the King having put a bed in that house which was built
[already], gave him it.
This man, just as on that day, crept beforehand under the bed in
the house, and remained [there]. Afterwards the Lord having gone,
taking also a thread, utters spells while sitting on the bed.
Then the man who is under the bed shakes the jingling bangle a
little. Then the Lord while uttering spells says, "Ha, being caught,
come." Saying and saying it, he utters spells very loudly.
Then the man who was under the bed, having shaken the jingling bangles
loudly, lifting up [and carrying] the bed also, went to the rock
house. Having gone there, when he was placing it [there], the Lord,
crying out, bounded off and went away.
Having thus gone, when he was [at the palace] the King asked, "What
is it? Did you seize the Yaka?"
Then the Lord having said, "Ane! I indeed cannot seize him," the Lord
went to his pansala.
Having caused the bride of the man who is in the rock house to remain
in the rock house, and having taken off the man's jingling bangles
and placed them in the rock house, [the man] came near the King.
