42 At this moment there was a tender footstep close by on the sand; it was not the Kapálik's footstep. Nobokumar looked round and saw that enchantress—Kopal-Kundala! A sword was swinging in her hand.

Kopal-Kundala said, "Quiet, do not speak. The sword is with me; I have stolen it."

So saying Kopal-Kundala quickly began to cut Nobokumar's fetters with the sword, and in a moment released him. "Flee," she said; "follow me, I will show the way."

So saying, Kopal-Kundala went like an arrow showing the way. Nobokumar leapt along behind her.
