“Yah …” said the demon after consideration “… whatever … Anyhow, let’s go get the old lady. At least she’s not a mysterious glob of confusion – besides which that goddamn schlong of his gives me the willies.”

Once the demon and his minions had departed, Drukpa Künlegs departed. First he went to visit a yogini called Pema Ting’dzin who lived near the elderly lady in a cave called the Lion’s Victory-Banner. He told her that a demon would be coming to call on her – but she should not be alarmed because the demon would be merely seeking his help. “Just use your natural wit …” he said “… and send him to me for the cure he’ll require.”

Then Drukpa Künlegs legged it up the hill to see the elderly lady. He rapped on the door “Hey! Lady of the house! How are you doing in there? Here’s Drukpa Künlegs come to see you!”

“Welcome—welcome—welcome!” she called out.

“How the hell are you, my good woman!”

“I’m none too good right now, I’m afraid …” she replied sadly.

“What’s the deal? Tell me about it – and I’ll see what I can do.”

“Well—you know how it is—I was wealthy once – but there are no yogis hereabouts … and due to that there’s been a goddamn demon making free with folk for his dinner. I wasn’t expecting to get through the night until you showed – but … you needn’t remain. Go while you can or you’ll be eaten and that’s for sure. If I’m not here tomorrow – just take anything you like to support your practice.”

“Yah, yah, yah … sod the demon – he’ll not eat me” Drukpa Künlegs replied “I’m not in the habit of letting myself be eaten by demons. I’ll stay with you tonight … and—by the way—you wouldn’t happen to have any chang laid by, would you? I have the very devil of a thirst on me!”
