The Prince said, “Mount on my shoulders and unfasten him.”
The Yaksanī having got on his shoulders, as she was about to eat the Prince he chopped at her with his sword. A foot was cut off, and she fled. Taking the foot and returning with it, the Prince showed it to the King. The King having seen the Prince’s resoluteness, in order to cause him to be killed said that unless he should bring the other foot he could not take charge of this one.
After that, the Prince went to the palace where the Yakās dwelt. There this Yaksanī whom he had wounded came, and having made obeisance, fell down and said, “Lord, do not kill me. I will do anything you tell me.” Summoning her to accompany him and returning, he showed her to the King.
Afterwards he employed this Yaksanī, and caused her to make a city at the place where his mothers were, and having made her construct a palace, he told the Yaksanī and his mothers to dwell there.
While they were there the Yaksanī said to the Prince, “I know the place where the King’s life is. Whatever you should do to the King himself you cannot kill him.”
The Prince asked, “Where is it?”
“It is in a golden parrot in such and such a tree,” she said.
After that he went there and caught the parrot and killed it. Then the King died.
After he died, the Prince having set fire to the palace there, and cut down the Yaksanī who stayed with the King, left his mothers in charge of the city formed by the maimed Yaksanī, and remained ruling the kingdom.
