"This place seems to be the hermitage of some one. The atmosphere is very beautiful."
The other saint said :
"Yes, this is the hermitage of preceptor Kshirkadambak. He imparts the gift of knowldge to students. At present three students ere studying in his hermitage. The first pupil is his own son Parvat. The other is Narad who has come from a foreign country. The third pupil is the truthful Vasu, the royal prince of this City. The son of the preceptor is highly well-versed in scriptures. Vasu is supremely truthful.
The frist saint listened with silence. He was thinking about the future of these three pupils. After thinking. he said:
"Prabhu ! the learning of Naread who has come from a distant country will be fruitful, because he is to attain salvation.
