1120 The Princess was frightened.
She built a palace of glass.
She made a wall of needles.
She dug a deep ditch.
I ordered the Nags
1125 To look hither and thither for a way (into the palace).
We found no road.
Jiwan the Nag went into the Naulakkha Garden.
There he changed his form,
And became a plum on a tree.
1130 ' The gardener plucked the fruit.
And the gardener took the fruit to the Raj^.
When the Eelja took the plum in his hand.
He took it up and smelt the plum.
(The Nag) bit him on the nose,
1135 And Raja Parag died,
I charmed all the nim leaves.
