Indian Fairy Tales, XIX. Raja Rasalu., sentence 21
There is, so far as I know, no proof of the earliest part of the Rasalu legend (_our_ part) coming to Europe, except the existence of the gambling incidents of the same kind in Celtic and other folk-tales.
Who acts: I, proof, gambling incidents · What happens: be, know, come, proof, exist · To what, where: Europe, earliest part
