Thus far only,' replied Bâlâki. Then Agâtasatru said to him: 'Vainly did you challenge me, saying: 'Shall I tell you Brahman? O Bâlâki, he who is the maker of those persons (whom you mentioned), he of whom all this is the work, he alone is to be known.' Thereupon Bâlâki came, carrying fuel in his hand, saying : May I come to you as a pupil ?' Agâtasatru said to him: 'I deem it improper that a Kshatriya should initiate a Brâhmana.

And Agåtasatru called him, saying: “Thou great one, clad in white raiment, Soma, King ?' But he remained lying. Then he pushed him with a stick, and he rose at once. Then said Agâta satru to him: 'Balâki, where did this person here sleep? Where was he? Whence came he thus back?' Balaki did not know. 20. And Agâtasatru said to him: 'Where this person here slept, where he was, whence he thus came back, is this: The arteries of the heart called Hita extend from the heart of the person towards the surrounding body.
