    and a portion he uses to roast his meat,
    and he eats it until he is satisfied.
    He also warms himself from/with that tree saying,
    ‘Please, I have become so very warm!’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Half of the wood he uses to burn a fire
    he uses it to prepare food.

    After he has become warm from the fire he speaks like this,
    "Aha! — The fire — how warm it feels, how lovely it is."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
