| "In the
district of Monghyr on the skirts of the hill, there is a place named the Jharkhand of
Baijnath (Baidyanath) sacred to Mahadeva. Here a miraculous manifestation puzzles those
who look for the outside of things. That is to say, in this temple there is a pipal tree,
of which nobody knows the origin. If any one of the attendants of the temple is in need of
the money necessary for his expenses, he abstains from Nod and drink, sits under the tree,
and offers prayers to Mahadeva for the fulfillment of his desire. After two or three
days the tree puts forth a leaf covered with lines in the Hindi character, written by an
invisible pen, and containing an order on a certain inhabitant of any part of the world
for the payment of a certain sum to the person who bad prayed for it. Although his
residence may be 500 leagues from Baidyanath, the names of that man and his children,
wife, father and grandfather,his quarter, country, home and other correct details about
him are known from the writing on the leaf. |
