Raja Parag took his kerchief and wiped his face.
Thought the falcon in his mind :
" If the Raja drinks the curse (of it) will be on me.''
The falcon struck out (with his claw) and threw down
the cup.
745 Thought Raja Parag in his mind
" The falcon must have been my enemy for some time
God gave me the water ;
The falcon is an enemy to my life."
The son of kings was angered, seizing it he threw it on
the ground :
750 The falcon's life departed.
Above in the fig tree were three mainds* chattering.
And Raja Parag cast his eyes upwards.
In the tree was the Nag.
Taking an arrow from his quiver he slew the Nag
755 The Nag fell down.
He chopped it into small pieces.
* the gatdr is the common forest maind, acridetheres tristis.
