The Third Princess was not well because of her sin. Hearing the report of her illness, Genji came to see her in Rokujo. Then a messenger came from Nijo residence that the lady had expired. He rushed off. At Nijo, the priest was leaving. Genji prayed to let her stay just a little longer and asked the priest to pray again. As though his intense prayer might have reached to the Buddha, the evil power of the late Rokujo lady disappeared. Murasaki narrowly escaped death.
