Bhima agreed. The flower had come with the wind that blew from the northeast. So
Bhima walked in that direction.
After walking a little distance, he came across a garden.
The same sweet scent was again in the air, and seemed to
come from the garden.
So Bhima tried to enter it.
At the gate, however, he saw an old monkey lying
half-asleep.
Bhima shouted at it: "Shoo! Get out of the way!"
But the monkey did not move. It spoke instead: "Why do
you wake me? I am not well. Further, no man should go beyond this line. It leads to
Gods own path. Please go away." |
