Aṣṭaka.—“Does this soul present itself in the womb with the help of other bodies, or of its own accord? Pray remove this doubt. Also explain, O king! how the body is developed and how the organs like the eyes, ears, etc., are formed. I regard you to be endowed with the supreme wisdom, and I therefore venture to request you to remove all these doubts.”—12-13.
