The Arkansaw traveler., 1885-09-05

daughter of the hermit has been trans
 lated here as his queen. So the king
 Satavahana is the translated body of a
 Rishi, and as soon as he sees you he will
 obtain all knowledge according to your
 wish. For the chief things are acquired
 without any trouble by the great souled
 ones, having been learned in a former
 birth and having been deeply impressed
 upon their memories Having thus
 spoken the god vanished and l went
 away, and these grains of rice were given
 to me by the dependents of the god.
 Then I, O, Raja, came back, and wonder
 ful to tell, the grains of rice
 were eaten by me day by day
 on my journey, but there remained as
 many as ever" Thus having related his
 adventures, Sarvavarman ceased speak
 ing, and the King Satavahana, greatly
 pleased, rose to go and bathe. Then I,
 on account of taking VOW of silence,
 being excluded from taking part in pub
 lie affairs, took leave of the king with
 only reverential bow, and he was very
 unwilling that should do so. went away frem that city accompanied by only two pupils, and being intent on penances
 l came to see the dweller of the Vindhya mountain, and being commanded by the goddess in dream to visit you, have therefore, entered the terrible Vindhya forest. From the statement of a Pulinda l met with a company of pilgrims, and somehow or other, by accident, found myself here, and saw this great crowd of Pisachas, and having heard from a dis tance their conversation with one anoth- CT, learned the Pisacha language which is the cause of my being released from my VOW of silence. used this speech to ask about you, and when heard that you had gone to Ujjayini, waited here until you returned, and having seen and welcomed you in tke fourth language, that of Pisachas, remembered my own origin.

 Gunadhya having thus spoken, Kanab- hui said to him: "I will tell you how learned of your arrival last night. Listen There is Raksh asa named Bhutivarman who is an astrologer, and my friend. went into a garden in Ujjayini where he waited for me, and there being asked by | me about the ending of my curse, he said, We have no power by day. Come here in the night and will tell you And | so l went there when night came and asked him if the demons took delight in wandering soout only in the night. Then Bhutivarman said to me, T will tell you the conversation that Brahma had with Siva long ago. So listen In the day when the sun shines these fallen beings have no power such as | Fakshasa, Rakshasas and Pisachas, therefore they take pleasure only in the night. Where the gods are not hon- pred, or where the Brahmans are not proper, or where they eat without any re- 'Pect for the divine laws, there their power is exercised. But where flesh food is not saten, or where there is pious woman, there they do not enter, and they never at any time attack the pious, brave and ~ise.' Thus having spoken to me. Bhu- .ivarman at that time continued, Go, for Sunadhya has come, the occasion for your release from the curse.' Upon hear ng that came here, and have seen you, ny lord, ana l will now relate to you the ale which was delivered by Pushpadanta. But have great curiosity, tell me by what means this Pushpadanta and you, became famous" Hearing he desire of Kanabhuti, Gunadhya thus poke to him:
