Reading Notes: The Twenty-Two Goblins, The Three Lovers

 Twenty-Two Goblins translated by Arthur Ryder (Source)

  • There is an old brahman that lives on a river and he has a beautiful daughter
  • Three young boys come out the father and ask for her hand
  • The young girl could not decide which one to choose
  • The girl dies
  • The three boys do something different to cope with their grief
  • One boy becomes a monk and travels to other countries
  • He eats dinner in a house where a baby cries and his mom throws him into the fire
  • The master of the house raises the body back to life
  • The monk goes back and raises the young girl back to life
  • They all fought over who was to take her as his wife
  • The King answered the riddle saying the one who slept by her ashes should be her husband
  • The goblin went back to his tree


A tree like one the goblin would have been in (Source)
