Exhibition

of

māyā.

Mahāviṣṇu

once

told

nārada

thus:

“There

is

nothing

like

living

beings

on

earth.

All

is

an

illusion

due

to

māyā.”

nārada

requested

Mahāviṣṇu

to

show

him

that

and

viṣṇu

took

nārada

to

the

banks

of

a

river

and

exhibited

the

wonderful

working

of

māyā.

How

Gāthi,

a

brahmin,

saw

māyā.

In

the

country

of

kosala

there

was

once

a

brahmin

named

Gāthi.

He

went

to

the

forests

and

standing

there

in

water

in

a

pond,

immersed

up

to

his

neck,

started

doing

penance.

For

eight

months

he

did

penance

thus

and

then

Mahāviṣṇu

appeared

before

him

and

asked

him

what

boon

he

wanted.

The

brahmin

said

he

wanted

to

see

Māyādevī.

viṣṇu

granted

the

boon

and

disappeared.

Several

years

passed

after

that

and

nothing

happened.

One

day

the

brahmin

as

usual

went

to

bathe

in

a

pond.

When

he

took

a

dip

in

the

waters

he

forgot

all

his

prayers

and

mantras.

There

was

a

change

of

mind.

He

felt

he

was

lying

dead

in

his

house.

Relatives

were

sitting

around

weeping.

His

wife

was

in

tears

and

was

holding

his

legs.

In

an

atmosphere

of

mourning,

his

own

people

weeping

bitterly

carried

his

body

to

a

frightening

burial

ground

and

put

it

on

a

funeral

pyre.

It

was

burnt

to

ashes.

He

then

felt

himself

in

the

womb

af

a

caṇḍāla

woman

living

in

a

village

near

Hūṇamaṇḍala.

The

foetus

developed

and

a

black

boy

was

born.

The

boy

grew

passing

the

stages

of

infancy,

childhood

and

boyhood

and

became

a

man,

black

and

stout.

He

started

enjoying

sexual

life

with

a

beautiful

caṇḍāla

girl.

The

amorous

plays

were

done

on

leaf-beds,

in

creeper-huts,

bushes

and

in

caves

and

soon

many

evil-natured

sons

were

born

to

him.

Gradually

his

health

faded

and

he

constructed

a

hermitage

and

lived

there

as

a

hermit.

His

children

grew

up

and

he

became

old

and

then

all

on

a

sudden

all

his

children

and

wife

and

other

members

of

his

family

died

and

he

was

left

alone.

He

then

left

the

place

and

travelling

much

reached

the

capital

city

of

Kīramaṇḍala.

The

city

gates

were

decorated

and

inside

people

stood

in

groups.

The

road

to

the

palace

from

the

gate

had

been

beautified

and

as

he

reached

the

palace

gates

he

saw

an

elephant

as

big

and

black

as

mountain

standing

there

well

caparisoned.

It

was

customary

in

those

days

to

post

an

elephant

well

bedecked

before

the

palace

gates

when

a

King

died.

The

elephant

he

saw

was

one

who

had

been

let

loose

to

select

a

new

King

in

the

place

of

the

one

who

had

just

died.

The

elephant

on

seeing

him

took

him

by

its

trunk

and

placed

him

on

its

back.

The

people

when

they

saw

it

shouted

“The

King”,

“The

King”.

Drums

were

beaten

and

people

shouted

with

joy.

He

was

taken

to

the

palace

where

he

was

received

by

young

and

beautiful

girls.

He

was

dressed

in

royal

robes

and

he

took

over

the

administration

of

the

state.

Gradually

he

accepted

as

his

wives

the

wives

of

the

former

King

and

lived

there

accepting

the

name

of

gālava.

He

ruled

the

state

to

the

satisfaction

of

all

for

eight

years.

One

day

the

King

went

out

for

a

stroll

dressed

as

an

ordinary

man.

Just

outside

the

gate

of

the

palace

a

set

of

Caṇḍālas

were

sitting

singing

songs

to

the

accompaniment

of

a

violin.

As

soon

as

they

saw

gālava

one

of

the

Caṇḍālas,

a

red-eyed

old

man,

got

up

from

the

group

and

addressing

the

King

as

“Hi,

Kalañju”

shouted

loudly,

“Friend,

where

had

you

been

all

this

time?

It

is

a

long

time

since

we

saw

you.

It

is

our

luck

we

saw

you

at

least

now”.

The

King

of

Kīra

did

not

like

the

words

of

the

caṇḍāla

and

he

rebuked

the

old

man.

The

queens

and

others

standing

on

the

terrace

of

the

palace

could

see

this

scene.

They

were

shocked.

They

regretted

they

had

all

along

been

serving

a

caṇḍāla.

The

news

spread

like

wild

fire

in

the

state.

The

King

had

to

live

in

the

palace

without

the

help

and

co-operation

of

anybody

inside

or

outside

the

palace.

People

wanted

to

atone

for

the

crime

they

had

committed

in

installing

a

caṇḍāla

as

their

King.

They

made

small

firepits

throughout

the

country

and

started

committing

suicide
