"I slept until the sun rose, and then called the merchants together: ”Now it is the time to go outside of this city.” Then, the merchants all went out of the city, got together at a place to rest, and said to each others: ”Now, in the midst of us, whose wife loves him most
What did he see
And how are things going
” Thereupon, someone in the crowd said: ”She offers superior delicious drinks and foods to me.” Some other said: She offers various clothes to me.” Some other said: ”She offers heavenly crowns, ear-ornaments, and clothes to me.” Some other said: ”I gained nothing but dissatisfaction.” Some other said: ”She offers me various fragrances of dragon, musk, and sandalwood.” After the merchants had said that, I told them: ”You are now in trouble and should seek for liberation, how come you be attached to the Raksa women
” Having heard that, the merchants were frightened. They asked: ”Great merchant master, is it true
” I then told them: ”This Lion state is the home of Raksa women. They are not human beings, but Raksa women.” and swore: ”The Buddhas, the Dharmas, and the Sanghas can know that they are Raksa women.” The merchants then said to me: ”By which means can we be free from this misfortune
