by the aerial rout nor the land one; he should neither come on the
path nor away from it; and he should neither come after taking a 95 bath nor without taking one. But come he has to." SF Hearing these impossible rules there was a pin drop silence in the 461 assembly. Every one was thinking that, what to say of a child, it was f impossible even for an experienced adult to observe these rules and 5
come to the king. But Rohak was not flustered at all. He returned to 30 his village in his usual composed manner,
Just before the end of the next dark fortnight he washed his body up to his neck and at the hour of the dusk prepared to leave. He made an umbrella of a perforated metal vessel and sat on the back of a ram. He set out to meet the king on the passage in the middle of the lines made by two wheels of the carts plying on the road. He picked u up a lump of sand for presenting to the king.
When he arrived before the king he properly greeted the king and The explained him how he had observed the rules laid down by the king &
while coming to him. After that he offered the lump of sand as a gift 4 to the king. The king asked with surprise—“What is this ?"
Rohak said humbly—“Sire ! You are the lord of the land, therefore * I have brought a piece of land as gift for you."
The king was pleased and he asked Rohak to live with him. The happy villagers returned. During the night the king asked Rohak to S
sleep near him. During the second quarter of the night the king fi awoke and asked Rohak—“Are you awake or asleep, Rohak ?”
He at once replied—“I am awake, sire !"
“What are you thinking about ?” i “I am thinking how the dung-balls are made in a goat's stomach ?”
The king found no reply to Rohak's question. He asked Rohak451 “Did you find an answer? How are they made ?"
"Sire, in the stomach of a goat there is a unique type of wind called samvartak. The effect of this wind makes its excreta into 5 balls." And Rohak went to sleep.
