Having received the order, and assuring compliance thereof, (they) moved out from the presence of kșatriya Siddhārtha. Having moved out, they turned their steps, wending through the city of Kundapura, towards that district wherein resided the interpreters of the significance of dreams. Having reached there, they called them out. Then the interpreters of the significance of dreams, being called by the house-keepers of kşatriya Siddhartha, became highly pleased, happy and delighted, their hearts throbbing with joy, and their pore-holes expanding like the kadamba flower hurt by rain-drops. These then having taken their bath, finishing their offerings, performing auspicious righs like wearing head-marks, and also expiatory acts, (having touched their feet in order to avoid wicked eyes, according to commentators), wearing clean and lucky garments and shoulder silk to match, suitable for admittance to the royal court, adorning their bodies with costly ornaments, and putting for the sake of good omen mustard and durva (grass) sprouts on their (respective) heads, they started from their homes. Then having moved through the ksatriya city of Kundapura, they reached the main portal of king Siddhartha's excellent palace, a jewel among palaces. 66
