One day, while they were grazing the animals on the slopes of the hill, the herd boys played at hiding, some taking the part of thieves and some of herdsmen. Some of them there were the thieves and some were the herdsmen, king, and some played there as sheep, with nothing at all to fear. Maya's son Vyoma, a great worker of maya, wearing a cowherd's dress, mostly took the part of a thief, and carried off many of those who were playing sheep. The great demon threw each one he took into a cave in the hill, and shut the door with a rock; four or five were left.
