So the Tom-tom Beater said, “I will say that you ate the rice-dust porridge.” Then having said, “Don’t say it,” the Gamarāla gave the money.
After that, the Tom-tom Beater taking the deer-hide rope, at the time when they were going along the road, a man came bringing a pair of elephant tusks.
Then the Tom-tom Beater in the very same way as at first asked the Gamarāla for money. The Gamarāla said, “I will not [give it].”
So the Tom-tom Beater said, “If so, I will say that you ate the rice-dust porridge.” Then the Gamarāla, having said, “Don’t say it,” gave the money.
The Tom-tom Beater taking the pair of elephant tusks, they went to the Rākshasa’s house. When they went, the Rākshasa having gone for human flesh food, only the Gamarāla’s daughter was [there]. The girl quickly having given food to the two persons, the Gamarāla’s daughter told them to go to the upper story floor.[10] Afterwards the Gamarāla and the Tom-tom Beater went to the upper story floor.
In the evening, the Rākshasa having come said, “Smell of fresh human flesh!”
Then the Gamarāla’s daughter said, “Having come [after] eating fresh human flesh, what smell of human flesh!” After that the Rākshasa without speaking lay down.
Then at the time of dawn the Tom-tom Beater was minded to chant verses, so he spoke to the Gamarāla [about it]. The Gamarāla said, “Don’t speak.” Without listening to it he chanted verses softly, softly (hemin hemin).
Thereupon the Rākshasa having arisen, asked, “Who art thou?”
The Tom-tom Beater said, “I myself am the Rākshasīs-eating Prākshasa.”
