Now one day, as the Brahman was gathering such herbs as he could find in the wilderness, he came upon an Aubergine, or egg-plant.
Nevertheless, she would not give up her wicked project, and the next night laid still stronger spells on the sleeping Princess, asking her 'Princess Aubergine! tell me true In what thing does your life lie? And the Princess replied 'In the life of your third son. Kill him, and I must die also! But the same thing happened.

Therefore she laid strong spells upon her while she slept, and said 'Beautiful Aubergine! tell me true In what thing does your life lie? And the Princess answered 'In the life of your eldest son.
