After that, the Prince and Princess ate the food, and having talked much, the Princess asked, “For what purpose have you come?”
The Prince replied, “I have not come for anything else but to take you away.”
The Princess said, “Our hiding and going off would not be proper. Here, put away this jewelled ring and lock of hair. To-morrow morning, having gone to our father the King, say, ‘I have come to marry your Princess.’
“Then saying, ‘It is good,’ he will boil a cauldron of water and give you it, and tell you to bathe in it. And he will show you an iron tree, and tell you to saw it. When he has given you the water, put this jewelled ring in the water and bathe; it will be like cold water. When he has shown you the iron tree, pull this lock of hair across it; then it will saw it in two. After that, we two having been married, let us go to your city.”
Then taking the ring and the lock of hair, the Prince went back to the travellers’ shed.
Next day, the Prince in the very manner the Princess told him, came and spoke to the King. The King said, “It is good,” and gave him those two tasks. The Prince performed both the tasks.
After that, the King, being pleased, publicly notified the celebration of their marriage, and said, “If you wish to live here, stay here; if you wish to go, summon the Princess [to accompany you] and go.” Afterwards, having performed the marriage ceremony, he called the Princess, and went to the place where that Cobra was staying.
There she applied the medicine to the Cobra’s ulcer, and it healed. The Cobra, being pleased, gave the two persons a hidden treasure consisting of gold, silver, pearls, and gems. After that, they went to the Prince’s city.
Thus, by bringing this Princess the Prince had two Princesses. The King, the Prince’s father, was pleased because the Prince who went as the offering and the Princess had got married, and had returned. Having eaten the marriage feast they remained there.
When those six elder brothers looked they saw that their Princesses were not so beautiful as the Glass Princess. Because of it, the six persons spoke together about killing the youngest Prince and taking the Glass Princess; and they tried to kill the Prince. The Glass Princess, knowing of it, told that Prince, and the two Princesses and the Prince set off to go to another King.
