They two, the King and Queen, gave the Princess a
separate palace.
They put there the parrot's cage, they put it into the
palace.
230 The Princess played with the parrot.
" Parrot, tell me thy Ourd's name
Whose pupil art thou what is thy name "
" I am Gurii Gorakh's pupil : Rasalft is my name."
The Princess played with the parrot,
235 Hearing this* the parrot said, " Princess, hear my
words
Thus saith my Prince, come ' to my palace.'
Hearing this the Princess went into his palace.
Said the Prince to the Princess, "Princess, hear my
words
Goods and money have I much, and very great is my
kingdom.
240 Of Sialkot am I king : Eajl Rasalu is my name.
Come to my palace : come with me.
My father and mother look anxiously for thee."
Hearing this said the Princess, " Prince, hear my
prayer
Get ready my doU quickly :
I will go with thee."

words
250 Stop the doli awhile near the city."

son
After many days thou hast returned, EasaM, our son !"
