________________ RISABHA DEVA Vrişabha Sen excelled in music, Anantavirya, in drama, Bāhubali in medicine, archery, floriculture, and the knowledge of precious gems. He was also clever in finding out the characters of men and women from their bodily marks. The evolutionists are not likely to accept these statements readily. But they have not shown how men came to attain to omniscience when they should be chatting on the branches of forest trees, visā-vis, with the gorilla and the chimpanzee, and how religion came to wear the scientific aspect in the prehistoric antiquity of the past! The sanest bit of advice that can be given to modernity is to unlearn their library-loads of wisdom and to devote at least a couple of years to the study of books that deal with religion as a science. Then perhaps they will be qualified to talk on the subject, and their opinions will not be lacking in weight!
