There is no evil inside the palace, and when has the king ever visited Harihumba?

In case the king, my lord, says: "How is it said (in the tablets)?" — (here is the relevant interpretation): "If the storm god devastates a field inside or outside a city, or if he puts down a ... of (his) chariot, or if fire burns anything, the said man will live in utter misery for 3 years." This applies (only) to the one who was cultivating the field.
