When she was going thus, a banyan branch had bent down to the path; on the banyan branch this Queen hung. This Rākshasī went on, carrying simply the bed. Having gone, having put the bed on the ground, when she looked the Queen was not on the bed.
Afterwards she came bounding again very near this banyan tree. This one ascertained that unless [the Queen] goes near the banyan tree, she is unable to go by another place. Ascertaining it, and having gone on and on among the branches and among the leaves in the tree, saying and saying, “I will eat thee, I will eat thee,” she began to walk about. Although she is walking about that Queen is not visible through the power of the resolution of the Gods.
Then, on the morning of the following day, when [the King] looked this Queen is not [present]. Afterwards the King, together with the Ministers, for the purpose of seeking the Queen having entered the jungle forest wilderness, when going away to seek her, in the midst of the forest, near a leafy banyan tree they heard a sound of a human voice, “I will eat thee, I will eat thee.”
When they look what affair this is, the King’s Queen and the child are in the tree. That Rākshasī having said [to herself] that this King will cut her down, ran off through fear.
The King asked the royal Queen, “By what means came you here?” he asked.
Then the Queen said, “The midwife-mother came lifting my child and me with the bed, in order to eat me.”
After that, the King having taken the Queen and gone, and having sent her to the palace, made a bonfire (lit., fire-heap) in the midst of the wilderness, and set fire to it. Having set fire to it, when the smoke was going that Rākshasī having walked [there] asked, “Regarding what circumstance is [this done]?” she asked.
When she was asking the King said, “The Queen of the rock house at the root of the In̆di tree having died, we are making the tomb for her relics (dā sohon),” he said.
As soon as he says it,[8] having said, “Anē! If I did not eat a little flesh from my younger sister to-day, what am I living for?” she sprang into the blazing heap; having sprung [into it] she died. The King after that, together with the Queen, remained in happiness.
Because through fear on the day when the stone door at the root of the In̆di tree opened, she sprang into the house, and having been there was married to the King, she kept the name, “The Queen of the Rock House at the root of the In̆di tree.”
