Saith Dhanna, " Listen, Narayan;
Be pleased to stow thyself to my priest
100 So show thyself, Narayan,
That thy kindness be pleasing to thee."
Said Narayan, " Listen, Friend Dhanna ;
I will not show myself to him.
In life after life hath the Brahman been deceitful,
105 He hath done no good work :
All his life hath passed thus :
To this very day is his mind not upright."*

He too shall cross over (to salvation)."
