In a certain country a King had an only daughter, it is said. The
Princess was a possessor of an extremely beautiful figure. The
King taught her the sciences to the extent to which she was able to
learn. This Princess having arrived at maturity, the King ordained
that a Prince who having heaped up masuran [amounting] to five tusk
elephants' loads, should show [and give] him them, may marry her.
After that, although from several countries Princes came to marry
her because this Princess's figure is beautiful, having been unable
to procure masuran [amounting] to five tusk elephants' loads their
minds became disheartened, and they went away.
At last, out of the seven sons of a certain Emperor-King, one person
said to his father the King, "Father, [257] should you not give me
masuran [equal] to five tusk elephants' loads, undoubtedly, cutting
my throat (lit., neck) myself, I shall die."
