Jaḍa spoke:
His two sons and the king’s son respectfully attended the high souled king of the Nāgas, after he had banquetted. The high-souled Nāga manifested kindly regard towards his sons’ friend with suitable conversation, and said, “Declare, Sir, what pleasure I must do thee who hast entered my house: cast away hesitation towards me as a son would towards his father. Whether silver or gold, raiment, carriages, or seats, or whatever thou dost highly appreciate that is hard to he got—ask that of me.”
