One Rākshasa said to another Rākshasa, “Take him for yourself.”
Then the other Rākshasa says, “I don’t want him; you take him.”
This Rākshasa says, “I don’t want him.”
Then that Rākshasa said, “Give him to me, if so.”
The other Rākshasa said, “I will not give him now, because previously when I was giving him you did not take him.”
Owing to it there having been a quarrel, the two [fought each other, and] died.
Still two Rākshasas remained over. One Rākshasa having handed over the man to the other Rākshasa, says to the other Rākshasa, “You take charge of this man. Stay in this jungle; I am going to another jungle.” After he said it the Rākshasa goes away.
When going, he met with yet [another] man. Seizing the man he says, “What is in your box?”
“In my box, cakes,” he said.
Then the Rākshasa says, “I don’t want cakes; I must eat you.”
