________________
Harikesh Bal
Many students and cooks from the kitchen, and teachers came rushing brandishing sticks, canes, rods, large spoons etc. They started beating the ascetic with whatever they could lay hands on.
Rudradev lost his balance
Hey ! Is there someone who can thrash this impostor with sticks and throw him out. Hold him from the neck and
push him out.
SIGURLU
W
Beat him! Beat him!
Bhadra, the wife of Rudradev, saw all this from a distance. She came running and shouted
Stop it ! Keep your cool, young Brahmins. Why do you commit such
misdeed ?
On reaching there. Bhadra stopped Rudradev and said
My lord! What is this ? This is the same great ascetic in whose service are many gods, demons, and yakshas. My father had offered me to him, but he
rejected me.
