The prince said, “It is so. The matter does
indeed depend on me.”
So for five months he dwelt in the shed,
without issuing an order or a caution. All the officers
and his relatives said, “He may be said to understand
the ceremonies.” When the time of interment
arrived, they came from all quarters of the state to
witness it. Those who had come from other states to
condole with him, were greatly pleased with the deep
dejection of his countenance and the mournfulness
of his wailing and weeping.
