A certain Yaksha having been negligent of his charge, and having had his greatness set to decay by a curse of his master, to be endured for one year, which was heavy on account of its separating him from his wife, he took up his abode at the Hermitages of Ramagiri, where the waters had been sanctified by the baths of Janaka’s daughter, where there were lovely shadow trees.
