The Prince and Princess and Two Dēvatāwās
At a certain time, in the [Sun] Rising world,[1] a Prince was born. In the [Sun] Setting world[2] a Princess was born. When in the Rising world a Dēvatāwā, and in the Setting world a Dēvatāwī were coming to hear Baṇa (the Buddhist sacred writings), the Dēvatāwā saw the Prince and the Dēvatāwī saw the Princess. On that day, the Dēvatāwā and the Dēvatāwī, both of them, came later than on other days.
The Dēvatāwā asked the Dēvatāwī, “Thou not having come[3] at the time when thou camest on other days, why hast thou delayed so much to-day?”
