12 It was then that Issa disappeared secretly from his father's house, left Jerusalem, and with a caravan of merchants, went toward Sindh,
13
With the purpose of perfecting himself in the divine knowledge and of studying the laws of the great Buddhas.
In the course of his fourteenth year, the young Issa, blessed of God, crossed the Sindh and established himself-among the Aryas, in the cherished country of God.
The fame of this wonderful youth spread throughout Northern Sindh; when he crossed the country of the five rivers and Rajputana, the worshippers of the Jaina God implored him to dwell with them.
But he left them and went to Jagannath, in the country of Orissa, where lie the mortal remains of Vyasa-Krishna. Here the white priests of Brahma received him joyfully..
They taught him to read and understand the Vedas, to cure with the aid of prayers, to teach and explain the Holy Scriptures to the people, to drive away the evil spirit from the body of man, and to restore to him the human form.
