To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After some days father and son came home, accom- panied by these two suitors, and in the house a third was already seated. The name of the first was Tribikram, of the second Baman, and of the third Madhusadan. The three were equal in mind and body, in knowledge, and in age.
Then the father, looking upon them, said to himself, " Ho ! there is one bride and three bridegrooms ; to whom shall I give, and to whom shall I not give ? We three have pledged our word to these three. A strange circum- sta...nce has occurred; what must we do? " He then proposed to them a trial of wisdom, and made them agree that he who should quote the most ex- cellent saying of the wise should become his daughter's husband.
Quoth Tribikram: "Courage is tried in war; in- tegrity in the payment of debt and interest ; friendship I A village Brahman on stated occasions receives fees from all the villagers.
148 Vikram and the Vampire, in distress ; and the faithfulness of a wife in the day of poverty." Baman proceeded: "That woman is destitute of virtue who in her father's house is not in subjection, who wanders to feasts and amusements, who throws off her veil in the presence of men, who remains as a guest in the houses of strangers, who is much devoted to sleep, who drinks inebriating beverages, and who delights in distance from her husband." "Let none," pursued Madhusadan, "confide in the sea, nor in whatever has claws or horns, or who carries deadly weapons ; neither in a woman, nor in a king." Whilst the Brahman was doubting which to prefer, and rather inclining to the latter sentiment, a serpent bit the beautiful girl, and in a few hours she died.
