Indian Fairy Tales, Demon With Matted Hair " 196, part 15, sentence 18
Now, when he reached the city of King Sarkap, seventy maidens, daughters of the King, came out to meet him,--seventy fair maidens, merry and careless, full of smiles and laughter; but one, the youngest of them all, when she saw the gallant young Prince riding on Bhaunr Iraqi, going gaily to his doom, was filled with pity, and called to him saying:
Who acts: help, one · What happens: reach, come out, meet, see, go, fill · To what, where: city, help, gallant young Prince riding, Bhaunr, doom · Speech: someone speaks here
