[34] This star was in reality the door of another room in which lived his present wife’s daughter. Nᴀñkî′lsʟas was in love with her and the marten tail which passed in there belonged to his marten cloak. [↑]

She was a woman.[1] When she went out, they braced the hanging door open for her, and she went out frequently.[2] One day, when she came in, the stick slipped off, and the edge of the door touched her upon the side and made her sore there. By and by a hole appeared there, and, when the town people came to know that, her father gave orders to abandon her. Next day they left her.
