Then the four, taking the lotus flower and having come back, and boiled and given it to that Princess, the false fever of the Princess was cured. Well then, by that they were unable to kill him.
So the robber asked the Princess, “Now then, how to kill your elder brother?”
Then the Princess said, “Elder brother having come [after] walking, goes from this side near the screen to wash his face. You stay on the other side [of the screen] and cut him with your sword.” So he remained that day in that way.
That day the Prince having come [after] walking did not go to the side to which he goes before; he went to the other side. At that time the man having been [there] tried to spring away. Then having cut down the man with the sword that was in the Prince’s hand, he asked the Princess, “Whence this man?” The Princess remained silent.
Thereupon the Prince said, “I shall not do anything to you; say the fact.” The Princess told him the fact.
Then the Prince having said, “Thou faithless one! Go thou also,” cut her down with the sword; and taking those things, went with the three animals to the city where he killed that tusk elephant.
Having gone there, and told the King the manner in which he killed the robbers, and all the dangers that had befallen him, the King, having been pleased, married the King’s Princess [to him]; and having given the kingdom also to that very Prince, he remained there.
The Prince having gone to his [father’s] city, said to the King, “Father, having destroyed the word which you, Sir, said, by the acts that I performed, I was made to ascertain [the wisdom of] it.”
Having made obeisance to his father the King, and told him all the circumstances that had occurred, thereafter he came back with contentment to that city. Having come, he remained ruling over that city.
